Hi
Quick one on my 93 maxima SE...
I am having lot of problems with the car lately.. Replaced two axles, ABS brake pump...

I had got replaced ball joint (driver side) two years ago... it has 20K miles on. Now I am having same ball joint problems. I am inclining towards doing it myself. But I might be free only after a week

Question is how long I can drive in this condition ? I don't hear the clunk when I go over bumps. But I do hear groaning/moaning sound when I take long left turns. But no sounds when I take right turns or going straight.

I had just replaced driver side half shaft/axle. So I don't think this sound is related to axle.

Is it OK if I drive along for a while - 5/6 days ?... or will it break right on road

Thanks for the inputs

 

No one in their right mind will say how much longer the BJ has because that opens up liability issues.
BTW have you ever had the BJ lubed?

 

I drive an 89 se and when i bought it, the ball joints were shot. I drove about 2k on them and the whole time they made some horrible noise, but never actually caused any damage or driving problems, when i replaced them the driver side looked like it should have been replaced 15k ago, but you should be able to drive on them for awhile, and replacing them urself is a good idea, because it is a pretty easy job as long as u have the right tools and take ur time, because forgetting something can cause alot of damage.

............also the ball joints i bought are sealed and dont have a grease zert, the ones i took off were the same way.
