So turns out that the noise that my maxima was making was a crooked wheel hub and needs replacement. Anybody know of a good website to get the front wheel hub + bearing. I have been around a few, but does anybody have any good recommendations (would be a bonus if it was in Canada).

I got a wheel hub and bearing set from a dude on eBay. Was cheaper than any other way even though it was shipped out of the US. The OEM ones are staggeringly expensive.

Complete rear wheel hubs are available through www.primechoiceautoparts.ca for about $50 each.

Bought my front hubs/bearings from an eBay seller as well. Installed with no issues, noise gone, never came back.

I changed the rear (both sides) to fix my ABS problems. I changed the front (both sides again) because I began having a noise that almost sounded like a motorbike or a civic with a coffee can exhaust (though obviously not as loud). I could probably also describe the noise as a bicycle being driven with a card in the spokes - something along those lines. The noise would increase in pitch as the vehicle's speed increased. Over time the noise began to get worse. The noise would go away when I turned hard to the left while going at moderate speed, which was characteristic of a bad d/side wheel bearing.

I got new bearings and hubs for both sides - figured may as well replace the p/side while I'm at it. Noise went away and car handled much better as well. Driver's side bearing was completely shot.

Might also want to pm Aackshun, he is a member on here that works with Nissan parts out of Houston. He may be able to get you a deal.

Just saw that www.autopartsway.ca has the hub and bearing available. I order parts there all the time, never had a problem.

Are there special tools required for the fronts? I thought i read a press was required for the bearing?
