2004 Nissan Quest Repair Question
Nissan Quest Noise Problem
Answer
Symptoms indicates the wheel bearings are bad.
Lift up each wheel and with handbrakes released, spin the tires and note if there are any noise. Putting your hands on the strut springs would give you an indication if there are any problem with the vibrations felt.
what a m looking for when i put my hands on the strut springs. if the bearings are bad how hard would the fix be. do it myself or take it to the shop. thank you for the help. I was wondering if it was the struts that needed replacement.
Good bearings would not show anything but if the bearings are bad, you would feel vibrations as the wheel are spinning.
Struts do not cause noise when vehicle is running, especially roaring noises. Whether they are bad or not would require some testing. At the mileage and age of vehicle, the struts should be at least halfway through their lifespan.
If you have some basic tools and sockets, you should be able to replace the bearing yourself.
