im gettin a wierd rumbling noise from my driver side wheel when i first start driving after a lil bit it goes away , i can still feel it a tad bit in the wheel but not as bad....but if i come to a stop and take off again it comes back....i thought wheel bearing....changed that i thought tie rod...changed that still nothing..i took the axle out of the tranny and examined it but it seems fine.....

anyone have any imput//?

 

Could be the front sway bar end links. I'm having the same problem now too and I'm hoping if I replace them it will go away.

sounds like tierods or sway links. my advise dont go cheap on the sway links, its not worth the few bucks you save.

 

ive been getting similar noises for a few days. only happens from 20-0 mph and from 0-20...then the rubbing noise goes away, though i feel the rubbin itself and am getting vibrations. idk what it is...but it may b the same prob u have

 

man ive went to a couple of places and got some bs responses....like my axel is too short..wtf...lol but i dunno ima order those sway links and change em out...any body got a site i can get some good ones from??

 

what kind of miles do you guys have?

 

I've got 120k and I just ran into this problem. It's as if the damn wheel is about to come off. Thin it just goes away. Vibration only happens when I hit the gas... when I let off it smooths out.

I was thinking maybe it was the bearings, maybe my cv joints??? Any help would be appreciated.

 

67.000

 

i have the same problem and i hate it!
i only have 45k on her.
i was thinking bent rims but it really only under acceleration that i notice it. cruising it's fine. and if i throw it into N it goes away.

 

IT MIGHT JUST BE OUR CV AXELS

 

Yeah it is - I had mine lower than yours. But when i raised it back up - immediately the clicking/rattling sound disappeared.

 

Rotating the wheels might not be a bad idea, are they feathered at all or can you find any bumps? Tires heat up after driving regardless because of the constant compression at the 6 o'clock position.

 

I think I am getting the same noise, resonating sound when the wheel turns . It only happens in the morning when I first start driving but goes away after like driving for 5 seconds. I need to find out what that is, kinda of annoying.

 

word? hmm ima try raising it up and see wat happens....... thanks for the info

lower than mine?

i see u on myspace (if u want add me mrdrkngood@hotmail.com) cant get to my page right now or i would add u (stupid government computer)...

 

dammit..why couldnt they have just made the maxima RWD? alot of front end problems prolly could of been avoided altogether.. i'm sick of all these front end issues and noises.. lol, i'm jk.......
then again if maximas were RWD, then we would be some cocky sob's for sure..

 

Aren't we already? The constant "Honduhs suck"

 

Why not take out the axle and take it apart to check out how the ***** and the inside of the joint look. Its not hard, just slide the rubber up, have someone hold the smaller end or part that goes into wheel bearing, then wack that with a rubber hammer pretty hard on different sides it should pop out. Then examin the condition of the joint, im gonna say theres wear on ***** and that thing they sit in, thats why your getting a noise

 

thats what i'm saying. we're already cocky....imagine how much more we'de be...

 

cv axles from raxles... $174.00 each a piece.

Boost you went with raxles right? Have you had any issues since installing them?

 

no problems, they're sexy.

they just don't like to go TOO low. They start rattling/clicking.

 

How low is too low??? I raised the car up to about the ride height your at right now. It's about 25 from the center of the fender to the ground in the front and about 26 in the back. Too low???

 

Try 23.5 inches?

 

Not I... lol that is Blackkilla. So I should be straight at my ride height? What are you at right now?

 

Right now I'm at 25.5 driving height lol.

At the show's i'll probably hit 22 inches.

 

uggghh can i do 24??? lol, yeah ima have to come up dont wont to but ima do it....but for shows slammed like a bit$ch....

 

check your tires, mine always make the rubbing noise when the pressure is too low.
