I haven't come on the forum lately, and unfortunately I am coming on today to report yet another problem with my 6th gen.
I love this car, but I am honestly about ready to ditch it.
I am at 88 K and I am hearing a very ugly wobbling sound underneath. The entire front end shakes, like a really bad shimmy. The sound is like a wobbling sound, but it comes with heavy shake so I don't think it's simply something that is loose. I checked and made sure not any plastic splash guards were grinding on something....but nada.

I checked all tires, seems like they are fine. They don't have but 25K on them, if that. My initial thought was a flat or tire that's has an air bubble or what not....

It's dark so I will obviously turn it in to the mechanic tomorrow, but just wanted to chime in and ask what this could be.

Just a couple of months ago, the entire bearing assembly was shot on the right front side.

She is aggravating me, guys..

Be prepared that it might be your bearing assembly again, bro.

Good luck tomorrow.

gawd, r u serious.
The thing is this time, it's while the car is riding, at 70, it sounds like im riding in a 1K dollar car...its horrible.

The other bearing only had noise when I turned the wheel

oh well.....

damn

hmmmmm... well to me its sound like either it is comeing from ur splash gurd which is above ur wheels.. or 2 side engine plasite gurd,, could be bottom one too .. if not then please kindly look for ur strut spring sitter ( plastic+metal peace where ur spring seats at top side) .. as i notice they go bad due to water .. check before u spend money ... thats was it for me ...

I think I can relate to this. In my case it is when I am going through the neighborhood or the driveway when I hear the wobbling/ dull clunk sound. It sounds very similar to a flat tire. But all is well there. For me it is just on the front left.
Please let me know what you find.

Mine is actually a grinding noise, and it doesnt happen over bumps, it's when the wheels turn. So I am guessing it IS actually the wheel bearing hub assembly.

When I accelerate it seems to go out, but when I let foot off gas pedal, and the wheel is still rolling, it makes a very nasty noise, wobbling, griding, squeeking.

I just drove it to the shop. Nothing like 15 f-kin miles bumper to bumper while you're car is squeeking horribly. Cheers to the Nissan flagship. I will keep you guys posted on what it is.

Has to be the bearing, mines getting fixed next week with the back motor/tranny mount. Then doing an alignment...n finally lowering it! good luck tho, hopefully it's only the bearing/hub assembly

Make sure to check your CV axles too...Ascendant had a really bad shimmy at speed and it ended up that both of his axles need replaced.
