Is Nissan the only place to get an 02 SE Manual Passenger side axle? I am faced with violent shuddering only when the engine is under load... I can even feel it at low speeds which feels like hitting a bump every wheel revolution. I'm assuming its either the inner CV joint or the retainer bearing that bolts on with the 3 bolts on the shaft. I had the axle R&R'ed and still have the same issue. So I'm thinking they didnt fix that bearing or joint properly. Do I need to spend $550 on for a new Nissan one or is there another place I can find one??
Thanks,
Clark

In addition, the Retainer bearing seems to have a VERY slight play on the axle. The same shop that did the R&R says that it will cost $75 - $100 more to replace that retainer bearing, so its evident they didnt replace it. I'm hoping someone has dealt with this and can give me some advice before I spend another $100 on this and it being not the problem.
My options seem to be:
1. Replace Retainer Bearing $75 - $100 (hoping this is the actual problem)
2. Attempt AutoZone Axle - about $60 after core return
3. Get new Nissan Axle - $550 (don't want this to be an option)
Getting an axle from Autozone is the cheapest route out of the three but I hear that its not a good chance it will be correct.
Any ideas?

Not sure what you mean by, not a good chance it will be correct. I've been using AZ axles for years,
Also, if your axle were that bad, you'd have far greater problems. IMO, it sounds more likely to be your bearing assembly. You can get those for cheap off of any online parts store You shouldn't be paying more than 60$ for it, and the shop shouldn't charge more than 75$ to isntall it.

I did a search but I got a couple of dead links (even with the show old thread trick).
Anyway... I want to replace the gauge cluster of my 2000 GLE with an SE cluster... what do i need and what year clusters could I use... I know it has to be an auto cluster since mine is that.
also whats the deal with the fuel filter... i when to autozone to get one since the car just hit 100k and they told me i need to whole fuel pump assembly... true or bs?

I have been reading on here some people have had problems with AZ being the wrong axles when ordered for the MT.
for example:
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....highlight=axle
And are you talking about the Retainer Bearing assembly? The shop said it would be $75 - $100 including the bearing I believe. I have already replaced the wheel bearing and have confirmed thats not the current issue.
This all stemmed from a pothole that I hit a couple months ago on the passenger side. Broke the wheel bearing, and the vibration started. At first the vibration wasn't so bad, but it got much worse over time. I hope to finally put an end to this problem.
I'm considering trying the AZ axle....

And that sounds like a good price for the bearing work.

Hey guys, im having a problem with one of my blinkers in an 01 max and im not sure what the problem is... The right one is fine but the left one blinks a lot faster when its on, does anyone know what the problem is?

Hey guys, I have a brake install question. I just got some akebono brake pads in the mail today and I'm gonna install them soon. Do I really need to resurface the rotors before I put the pads on, or is that one of those unnecessary disclaimers? I don't have any wheel vibration when braking from any speed, so I'm thinking the rotors are fine. Can I just clean the rotors, slap the pads on, and be good to go?

Hey guys I'm new to modding and tuning cars and my 2k max is my first project car. I've done some reading and it seems cattman is the way to go with exhaust. I want new Headers, y-pipe, and a cat-back exhaust system but Cattman doesn't have Headers for sale on the website, I see the y pipe and catt-back exhaust, but no exhaust manifolds. Am i missing something? And since the y-pipe replaces some of the precats, will I fail emissions and/or need to get my A/F tuned? I know their are a lot of smart people on here so I figure I'd ask. Any input would be very appreciated!!!

Hi guys, a newbie question: I have a 2002 maxima. My mechanic said my rear calipers "freeze" and need to be replaced. He said it will be expensive. He put in new brake pads for both front and real brakes, but told me the rear ones do not work since the frozen calipers. My question is: is it hard to replace the rear calipers by myself? Where to get the parts?
Thanks!

Try regreasing the sliding pins first, then proceed from there.

My mechanic said it's a common problem with maxima's. How to regrease the sliding pins? Thanks.

If not, buy a Haynes, it walks you through.http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us...rInfoPages.htm
^ That's very vague though. It is seriously really easy once you have the wheel/tire removed.
If that mechanic told you to go poop in your own food and eat it, would you?

Have you ever done rear brakes on a 4th or 5th gen Maxima?

The inside bulb is fixed w/ the outside bulbs. Sounds like you have an intermittent problem. Check the bulbs of the lights in question, change if necessary (cheap as sin), also check your fuses. Most likely not your fuses though.

Aren't there 2 precats before the main catalytic converter? I'm getting a full cattman exhaust system and I want to know if installing the y pipe(thus getting rid of the precats) will make me fail emissions. And/or will I need to get my A/F controlelr or get my A/F tuned? Thanks a lot!

00 fed spec - y-pipe removes both precats
00 cali and all 01 - removes one of the precats (pretty sure thats the case)
02/03 - y-pipe does not remove precats...you need headers for that

hi guys,
brought the car into the shop, with cel, code was for the egr...mechanic cleaned throttle body/egr hoses etc, reset computer and drove around...light came back on, says the prob is either egr it self or sensor
question is does anybody know which sensor it could be?
i appologize for not listing the code because the light came on some time ago.
thanks,

I just pulled the P1320 Code. I read the coil testing thread but Have a question.
I have a multimeter but it doesn't have 20k OHMs, it just have auto OHMS, is that good enough for this test? and what do these numbers mean?
The +1-2, what do they represent? And when I test them, Do i stick both red and black tester on 1 prong at at time? THanks for your help.
