I hear a drone noise while I'm driving. I'm also convinced it's causing uneven wear on the brake rotor back there, as that side seems to vibrate heavily the faster I go.

Do you know if this brand is okay? I want to buy the whole assembly. Since bearing pullers are like 70$ by themselves.

I can't find any full complete assemblies by Timken or anything. Just MasterPro.

I mean to replace this one, all I'd have to do is remove wheel>brakes>axle>unbolt old assembly>bolt in new assembly>etc.

Correct?

Let me know what you think.

 

Okay that part does NOT fit the 05 Sedan range.

I think it only fits the 07/08 G35.
Our axle is too small to fit in that hub.

 

Yeah I just ordered a seal off Concept Z Performance and Timken bearing off partgeeks.


I guess in the end, after I get it pressed somewhere, it'll probably cost the same as it would using the complete Assembly above.

 

So last night I got under the G, dropped the main serpentine belt, and started the car.

Man it sounded SO good w/o that belt on. So I rolled every pulley driven by that belt.
The power steering doesn't roll very well, but that's b/c it's a pump I think (plus I don't hear any extra noise when I turn the steering wheel).
The top fan pulley SEEMS to roll fine, all though many people say theirs is what goes out first (I might delete it anyway).
The alternator spins forever with great momentum, little resistance, no noise (yay!).
Crank doesn't spin... easily... for obvious reasons.

However, I removed the lower tensioner/idle pulley (again for the serpentine belt).
And rolled it on my fingers, it didn't roll so smoothly. Yet I couldn't get it to make much of a noise.

I put everything back together, and it sounded decent... until the car warms up.
How can I test these pulleys while the car is on and spinning them for me?
I think I might have someone/something rev my car to 2-3k for me so i can hear it.


The screwdriver to the ear trick doesn't really work here. Not all of our pulleys have center bolts, and most screw drivers aren't long enough.
