You might also call a Nissan service shop as they are more abundant than Infinity dealerships. Actually, the stealerships are the last place I would check. I am not aware of any special skills involved in repairing the hubs on an infinity, so I would also google your zip code and auto repair shops. Ask around (work, autozone, parts stores) if anybody knows of a good shop. My local tireshop/mechanic said he would do my mountaineer for about $150ish a wheel. It is an AWD also.

Good luck

If there is NTB around also, check them, usually reasonable rates, they did my Ford Taurus and I think it was 500 out the door, granted parts a little cheaper since it was older and easier to get those parts just the bearing, don't just settle for any place, check around before you settle on a place!

um yeah that # is too short to be a nissan/infinti part number. They follow the format the guy from grubbs said.

Yes, it's a Hub/wheel bearing assembly, the part number I gave you is the whole wheel bearing hub assembly

hmmm I can't for the life of me figure out why an ABS sensor would come into play unless you had ABS issues, the Hub/Bearing replacement shouldn't factor into that

Maybe they're hyping it a bit by saying "repair", when they actually mean "R&R". Does the abs sensor need to be attached to the new hub?

Also, the OP is getting pricing for replacing BOTH front hubs, so the cost is twice what some others are referencing.

Understood, I asked one of our terrific techs, and he said the ABS sensor should not come into play at all, unless there is damage already. worst case senerio should be 1.5 labor each side, and the parts still under 1000-1500 at the dealership.... in my opinon

150 X 2 = 300 plus labor for these guys is 100/hr... 2hrs labor, max 3 looking at 600+ tax... but i havent gotten a call back from this guy back yet about why his "guy's" prices are so much higher than the dealer. 1.2k sounds like alot :-/

150/Wheel is about normal for Hubs.

DIY and save $$$. Pics of ABS sensor are in this. Can't imagine what is the problem other than planning on having issues removing it. Those screws break easily because steel in aluminum is hard to remove. You can DIY, just be gentle and use PB Blaster on the ABS screw.

Please someone get back to me!!!! MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY TOO!
I had my left front wheel bearing go bad. The Infiniti dealer at Norwood, MA quoted me $420 for the replacement of the wheel bearing. After 10 minutes, the service advisor told me that it was still under warranty, so it was free. $1200 seems too much for two wheel bearings when one replacement was only $420. I have an 2007 Infiniti G35x sedan and it had already 56k miles, so it was out of the bumper to bumper warranty since Feb. 2011.

Anyways, it's covered under the power train 6 year/70k mile warranty. If your car has less than 70k miles, they should be doing it for free.

How long can I travel with this front bearing noise? It started about 500 miles ago, now it is rather noisy, though not to much. I need to travel back to home another 500 miles and I'm a little bit afraid if the bearing could stuck or something else bad could happen? Maybe I shouldn't drive faster than 60-80mph at the way home, should I?
