hey guys I have a question, I have a 2010 maxima s, And just last month I put a new wheel bearing on my front right side, changed my brakes and rotors all the way around, and I replaced the front left wheel bearing today as I though it was the problem I was having, When driving it I can hear a noise from the front I think sounds like a wheel bearing but I just replaced both its not very loud until you get past 60mph also when I am slowing down my steering wheel shakes and I can feel it in my brake pedal as well, Does any one have any idea what it could be thanks.

Shaking felt in the steering wheel could be due to tires out of balance.

In my experience, shuttering during braking was always corrected by replacing the rotors. Not sure what could be going on in your situation.

That's a good starting point I will have them rebalanced, maybe it being out of balance is also causing the noise I am hearing thanks never thought of that. lol

Are your rotors slotted?

My car does the shaking bit as well. Someone told me I over tightened the lugs nuts on my wheels when I put my tire back on. Something about warping the hub or something. Not sure how true that is...maybe someone else can chime in?

Are you using spacers?

Jcof88

I torqued the lugs down to car specs




no not using any spacers.




nope not slotted, I made a video cant really hear it well but I will upload here in a bit thanks for all the help guys, this is really bugging me.

Jcof88

here is a video, its kinda hard to hear but if you listen closely you might be able to hear what I am talking about you can hear it better when I let off the gas

Put a dial indicator on both front rotors to make sure they're true. Thats the first place I'd look...

Jcof88

they should be good all 4 are brand new, also I don't know how to do that lol

You'd be surprised how many things can be bad or defective out of the box. Based on your description my first check would be the front rotors...

If the noise and shakes started to happen after a part was replaced or repaired there is your problem. If you have done anything even just removal of any suspension or steering part or new tire/s or rotors or whatever on a technical auto like a maxima you need to have an alignment and balance.

Please post fix when you figure it out.

sorry for late response was out of town for holiday, The noise and shaking started before I replaced any thing after I replaced bearing and rotors the noise didn't go away, and today is even louder then it was, to be honest it might be a little louder when turning slight left, I am so confused any one have any idea. I am going to take it to firestone here soon if I cant figure it out, but they want 150 just to look at it
