Just thougt you wanted to save yourself couple hundred dollars
and you can rent these tools at a local kragen for cheap and youll gain experience in doing things yourself instead of going to the stealership

can i keep my existing hub, one of the guys said you might be able to keep it when pulling the old wheel bearing off and not get ruined. what you mean couple hundred? it takes like 1 hour to do so thats 1 hour of labor at any automotive shop.

^^ what your saying is that they will charge you for one hour of labor, but with most shops they dont charge by the hour they charge for the whole job.
For example, to change shocks they might tell you $150 per side but the job only takes 2 hours at most.

But watever dude i was just trying to save you some money by doing it yourself. Go ahead and pay the shop its your cash

careful now, what you think is a dead wheel bearing could simply be rust on the edge of your rotors rubbing your caliper. One way to test it is to jack up your car and see if there is any play in your wheel; if it rocks back and forth, your bearing is screwed. if not, take off your rotors and knock off the rust; I bet that fixes the sound

no idea, but the sound is gone and the new bearing is installed. they tested it before, they put the car up in the air and let the wheels spin pressing the gas and the other person would put that tool what doctors use to check the heart beat in patients and you can hear a humming noise on the right wheel and not on the left.

Did i ruin my wheel alignment and need to get it realigned for driving on a flat to get to a gas station and i mean the tire was rubbing and totally flat. what is this problem? i dont want to take it to infiniti to pay for diagnosing problem because its hard to diagnose this.
I have the same whirring nose....it is the front wheel bearing and hub assembly that is most likely the problem.

WTF! Dealers are telling me that the wheel bearing alone is ~$280 and ~$230 for the wheel hub assembly.

Smile Sympotms from the dealere bad wheel bearing...

Whats up guys... my friend works for the infinity dealer... I just got my G 35 2 weeks ago..and i kept hearing a low frequency sound described like a tire rubbing and metal slapping i guess. so I wanted to share my findings with this community to help out headaches...If you want to check in regards to this symptoms this is how the infinity dealer ship does it (my good friend) all you need a stethoscope $2.99 cheap ones. they raised the car and go on the back of the tires towards the braking system and attach a rubber tube that you can use to diagnose your problem (only if you are getting these symptoms) so anyways he puts the stethiscope on the back of the break back while its in drive.....and this is how the dealership find problems with your wheel baring...I know many of you savvy people are saying "well why dint you just try to tilt and put pressure on the tire....well the reason is because according to him some water will get in the bearing causing the grease to dry out and the metals to rub.... I will post pics soon....

Just called the dealer about a front wheel hub assembly (includes bearing) for an 03 g35 sedan, quoted $211+tax and about an hour and 30min labor which is an additional $175+tax. So I will be buying this online and using the DIY video, will keep you guys posted!
