I have a 00 Maxima, for the past i'd say 2 years when i turn right this scraping noise comes from the passenger side. I started another thread about my CV joints a while ago just I checked my joints and they seem fine. My dad brought to my attention that it could be my wheel bearings. Any thoughts or advise would be great.

Thank You

 

if you have a car jack , jack up the car and pull the tire in and out to check for play

 

+1

 

what do you mean by pull it in and out, and how much play would there be?

 

Just yank of the top and bottom of the tire at the same time. There shouldn't be any play or any squeaking noises.

 

If thats not the problem what else would cause that kind of noise

 

it has been doing it for two years?

i had the same grinding noise, twice, and had to replace the wheel bearings. better have it looked at before you lose a wheel. lol

 

Id bet almost anything thats what it is. Depending on how much play there is, youll want to replace the hub also because its likely to be damaged because of the broken bearing.

 

Dust shield scrapping on rotor?

 

Well I put it on the lift at work and there was no play in the wheel at all.

 

I was gonna say that.

have you recently changed your rotors or changed your pads?

 

Did you check ball joint, tie rod end link while the car was on the lift? How about the cv joint, are your boots cracked?
