When i lifted up my car and started to shake my front left tire back and forth...it wobbles way more than the right front tire...what wrong...if anything?

 

Try tightening the axle nut with an air impact gun.

 

bearings might be bad.

 

thats what I would think it is... Maximas are not known for the greatest wheel bearings.

 

is that something i should be worried about? Is it dangerous? I do not notice anything while driving.

 

Yes, Yes, you did say that your wheel vibrates correct?

You might be able to hear/feel it when you take hard turns. I would goto a shop and they can tell you for sure if it is the wheel bearing.

 

The wheel doesnt vibrate. When i jacked up the front two tires to change the oil. I shook the front tires and the left front tire wobbled and felt lose. I tightened bolts but still the same problem. It wasnt a dramatic wobble if you know what i mean. It just wobbled more than the right tire.

 

Why would it be the wheel bearings? Wouldnt it be something like the ball joint or the tie rods?

 

did you shake it by the top and bottom, or the front and rear?

if all the lugs are torqued to spec, a top to bottom shake would be bearings and owuld be accompanied by a growling while driving, and would increase when making a right turn if its the left wheel.

if it shook side to side, that would indicate tie rod, or just normal play in the steering. a loose tie rod will show itself with abnormal tire wear on the outside or inside edge of the tire, and the steering may feel loose.


its probably just normal... how many miles on the car?
