Wheel Bearing issues

I just had my third wheel bearing replaced. I have only 74,500 miles on my 10 MAX. My driver's side front wheel bearing has been replaced twice and my passenger side rear wheel bearing has been replaced once. I baby my car and do all highway driving. This must be a Maxima issue Has anyone else had wheel bearing issues on their Max?

I had my front passenger replaced around 75,000k. I haven't had any issues since. My 02 maxima had both front wheel bearings replaced within 150000 miles.

When you had your current wheel bearing replaced on your Maxima, how much did it cost you? I got all three replaced at Firestone and they were $399.99 each, but with coupons, I got it down to $348 each.

Never had any issues "knock on wood" and my car is an 09 with 105,000 kilometers.
Are you using aftermarket parts ? Perhaps they aftermarket part company product is 2 line

Ouch! Just looking at the price per bearing made me feel horrible. Just the thought. Sorry for your luck.

128,000 miles on my 09, and no problems to date.
I also run wide wheels with sticky tires on a lowered car, so I know I'm stressing them more than stock.

Yes they are assuming you have warranty left, I had my drivers side replaced under warranty

I am sure it is an aftermarket part. I don't think they used a Nissan part.

I guess I wrote it wrong. The total cost was $348, not the part itself. Sorry for the confusion.
