Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / September 2004Noisy when rolling
I have no experience with front wheel drive cars, but if this were a rear wheel drive the problem would be obvious..wheel bearings. Specifically, the front end of my Max has a grinding whirring coming from the front wheels when moving. Is this a possibility? Odo only has 75k, seems low to have this problem. Is there another more likely problem? I know from personal experience that different types of tires will make more or less noise........tires maybe? My Maximas both have over 125K with no bearing problems..... > I have no experience with front wheel drive cars, but if this were a rear > wheel drive the problem would be obvious..wheel bearings.

Is there another more likely problem? I had to replace a front wheel bearing on my '96 Max at 80k miles. A wheel bearing will sometimes (but not always) stop making noise when you press the brakes. Not really conclusive but can sometimes help diagnosis. >I have no experience with front wheel drive cars, but if this were a rear > wheel drive the problem would be obvious..wheel bearings.

Is there another more likely problem? From what I've picked up on this board, the bearings should typically last more than 100,000 miles, frequently much more. But, occasionally one will fail earlier. Also this does not seem to be an easy or cheap job. Have you checked the wear on your brakes and are you sure it isn't a tire problem?
