So apparently G35's wear out wheel bearings like crazy seeing as my left front was done in 2008 @ 65k.. and now is gone again at 130k!!! it is not even making the noise it initially made, it sounds like a plastic rubbing which confused me at first, then I was told by my mechanic that the lugs and calipers are the only thing holding me wheel on!! and what makes it better is I cannot fix it til Friday when I get paid!!!! I'm starting to hate high miles even more..

 

Are you using OEM bearings?

 

yah, the bearing was replaced by infiniti.. but after 60k they arent going to prolly cover it!!!

 

A little early but not terrible. Left front gets the most force on it a f=m*(v^2/r). Smaller radius turns provide more force and right hand turns have a smaller radius in America.

 

the sad thing is at my independent shop, there was another G35x (maybe an 04) there for the same thing! Like really??? I understand what you say about the force but this seems umm.. cheap!

 

I have 120k miles with stock wheel bearings.

 

83,000 miles here with no issues. Sorry you have to deal with this OP.

 

What about the force? Whats the indication that the bearing is bad? Ive got a squeak that I've identified isn't brake related and it is starting to get worse.

OP, do you have aftermarket wheels? Could heavy wheels cause the bearings to go sooner?

 

Hey OP I have 1 its fresh of a crashed 05 coupe with 60k. The car was hit in the back I already pulled it and everything pm me for more info if your interested I'll sell it to you cheap

 

85K here. ive had to replace all my wheel bearings. its even worse with an X, especially when youre dropped really low like i am. I used all oem bearings, which are NTN (solid brand). Also replaced all the hubs.

The driver front ive had to replace twice, within 1 year! I was wondering how the hell that is possible. I was told by my mechanic that the previous mechanic probably overtorqued the axle nut.
