Generally it's replace when there is a problem, since they're tough to get at, especially up front, and even just disassembly to get the ball bearings out requires some parts in addition to a seal replacement, IIRC.
I have a new OEM rear hub for sale if interested. Send me a PM. Purchased as a precaution due to a stuck caliper causing an overheating brake/hub assembly. I paid ~$100, sell for $50 + shipping.
CEL with P0174
Newbie so I cannot post. I have a 2000 GXE, 138k miles. For the past six months intermittent lean Bank 1. Cleaned MAF, clear codes and it worked for several weeks. Each time the duration was shorter. After much reseach on this site (Great site) Finally just replaced MAF and had dealer reprogram. Code free for 3 weeks. Last week, new CEL. First code was P0155 (Heater Bank 1), cleared and code free for a week. Now seeing P0174 continuosly.
I have a scan tool, but cannot view O2 sensor output (Is that factory reader only?). Short term offset for B1 & B2 -1.54, Long term ofset 0. Shows B1 in Closed Loop mode and B2 in Open Loop. Mileage is generally 400 tank and at 1/2 tank only 160 miles, so appears to be running rich (due to OL?).
No obvious vacume leaks. Feels like an O2 sensor, but have seen many posts not recommending replacement w/o observing output first.
Recomendations?

Newb here. 00 GXE 170K, in last 6 months have done struts, ball joints, and sway bar links. new tires and alignment 2 months ago. About a week ago when cornering to the left the car sort of "floats" . My wife describes it as feeling like hitting an ice patch. doesnt happen when turning right and is worse at higher speeds and less sharp turns. its like it is turning then pulls about a foot then continues to turn. Jacked it up found nothing to be loose on either wheel. Any ideas would be a great help.
I'm jealous. I'll be lucky to get over 280 per tank.
The mileage is due mainly to all highway miles. My wife drive 40 miles to work, so she sets the cruise on 65 and listens to the radio.
When I drive it it gets substantially less. My normal ride is a Miata which requires being driven with your right foot down. When in the Maxima, I love the acceleration which results in greatly reduced mileage. You play you pay!!

P1320
New here and just wanted to say thanks for the forum. My 2000 had the P1320 code and my mechanic gave up after replacing coils and checking the wire harness. After reading here and elsewhere on the net I replaced the spark plugs with NGKs (no go) and then the after market coils he had put in (no more code). So now I know two things; 1) after market coils can kick the P1320 code. 2) I can do that work myself. So thank you again for the forum.

You have been a member for quite a while but have not fullfilled the requirement to create a thread on your own; you must create at least 15 posts before you can start a thread. It used to be all explained in the welcome message I got at the time I became a member, including the warning about post-whoring in order to get your minimum post count, and I'm assuming that it was also the case when you did. Must likely you just ignored all that. In the meantime, I gues you are aware that you can post your question or concern right here; that's exaclty the purpose of this thread.
Unfortunately, you have to buy the whole thing (vent assembly for a GXE) depending on the stero you're going with and if yours was a Bose to begin with or now.
Did you snap yours?

OEM speakers suck. Replace them all with aftermarket.
Yes, a lot of us have had that problem. Some have opted for replacing the system with aftermarket units and are very happy with it. Some of us have found a fix for it, getting the Bose woofer cut off problem resolved and finding the stock premium system to be more than adequate.
Hey guys I have just bought a used 03' Maxima 5th gen SE 6-speed, so I am fairly new to this type of car and I need you all's help. So I just bought my maxima from my Brother-in-law and it runs great. Other than normal wear and tear to the body and motor it is pretty much in excellent condition. The only problem I am getting is a terrible whine during hard acceleration between 4k and redline and also during neutral revving. This whine get louder with increased engine speed. First i thought it was the belts and after inspecting them they where not misaligned or cracked w/ correct tension. A buddy of mine thinks that it might be a vacuum issue. during my check on the vacuum hoses I found that there are two vac valves under the throttle body that are not attached to any hoses. What are these??!!could this be it? There is no performance issue of any kind, just this Da*n noise that scaring the hell out of me.Please help...!!
this is one of the vac valves and there is another one behind it facing toward the ground, both of which are located under the throttle body.

I've been a member for a while but am still a newbie
I'm considering purchasing a 2002 Maxima that was purchased from Canada. It still has the metric guage cluster. What are my options other than just reading the small mph under the larger kph? Would I need to do a full cluster swap? Any idea on cost?
How about the climate control?

I'm a NEWBIE to the site, but not to Maximas!
I'm new, but I have owned 5 Maximas...a 1990 SE, 1998 SE, 2003 SE, and now I own a 2007 SE and just bought another 03 SE. All over a span of10 years. All have had different mods, but nothing performance wise. Mainly sound, suspension, rims, lighting, tint, and other minor upgrades. This 03 is what I will be working on and will be more in depth. It's a 6 spd MT with 98K miles on it, pictures coming soon. It burns oil and has that infamous rattle. When I bought it it had 95,339 miles on it. At 95,800 I changed the oil to Mobil 1 10W-30 Full Synthetic with High Mileage, and a Mobil 1 filter. At 98,570 miles I had to put 2 qts of oil in it...HELP Any suggestions.
