Hi all,

I’m having an issue with my 2003 V35 skyline. I have only recently had some new tyres put on the car as the previous tyres were on the way out. While they were getting fitted I was told that the front passenger side wheel has a noisy bearing. Driving it around now there is a significant amount of road noise / clunking coming from that particular wheel. The other thing I have noticed is when I turn a corner left, the noise disappears, when I turn right the noise gets worse and the rear wheels make a sort of rotating "whummmmp whuumppp" (I guess?) type noise...this particular noise seems to come from everywhere.

I have had the passenger side wheel hub replaced but the noise is still there...if not even worse than before. The mechanic seems to think I need to replace the other front wheel hub for noise to stop.

Secondly in regards to the other tyres could it be the wheel alignment that is out? I had one done when the tyres were fitted.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

If you're still getting a lot of noise after changing the tires its probably the bearing but you can check it for play by jacking the suspected wheel up and put your hands @ 6 and 12 and push/pull if it moves the bearing is toast and needs replacing

 

Hi Johnny,

I have had the left front wheel hub replaced several days ago and the noise is still there. The mechanic seems to think I need to replace the other front wheel hub for noise to stop.

 

I just had an issue with wheel noise coming from my rear drivers side for my 04 coupe and it turned out that it wasn't the bearing it was the axle that needed to be taken apart. Ever since the noise is gone.

 

Hi Condog,

Was there any work done to the axle...or was it simply taken apart?

 

It was just taken apart and regreased to stop the wheel noise it was pretty unbearable driving it but it basically sounded like I was driving on a railroad track.

Theres a thread about it too I hope it helps!

Yep thats what mine sounds like also. The noise is extremely loud and makes me try to avoid driving now

 

 

Does this axle issue occour on the front also? Another guy in oz is having the same issue as me, taken it to various places and nobody knows what the problem is. He said he has replaced the wheel bearing, camber arms and tyres.

 

most likely a deformed rotor

 

The front rotors were replaced when I had the wheel bearing replaced due to them being undersized.

 

Apparently the issue is still the front wheel bearings! Is it common for a brand new wheel hub to be dodge???

Anyways am going to get the front two replaced hopefully in the next week or two.

 

before you go and spend a lot of money, check your tires. Maybe you need a wheel balance.

 

I had my car's wheels, brakes, suspension and exhaust checked as part of a deal at a local Pedders.. Everything is in great condition...except for these bearings.

The tyres are brand new only done approx 2000 kms on them.

The noise is getting worse...its now so loud that I cannot have a normal conversation without raising my voice. I have to put the stock stereo on about 20 and even then I can still hear the noise.

Nissan Australia want $490 for EACH wheel hub which is just excessive considering I can get them from the US for approx 400 shipped for the pair. I'm just concerned that I cant wait the 3 - 4 weeks it will take for them to arrive. Has anyone used the TIMKEN HA590027 wheel hubs before? Apparently they are just as good as OEM.

 

Well turns out it was the right hand side wheel bearing. It has been replaced and the cabin is whisper quiet now! I can finally enjoy my car again

Thanks for all the help and suggestions everyone!
