TomWood Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Does the hum remain when accelerating and turning? Or is it gone during any turning situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My04T4R Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Goes away audibly and the vibration is greatly reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hmmm doesnt matter left or right as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My04T4R Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Thr tiniest bit if vibration when turning right (at speed) remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Ok, so it would seem when pressure is on the left side or when accelerating there can be vibration, what about rear left wheel bearing? Have the rears been done recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Full time 4x4? Yeah, sounds more like drive train - transfer case bearings, U-Joint, a driveshaft steady bearing but I doubt you have one, mostly on long wheel bases. Only my opinion but - if you have a lot of miles on 'er, and she isn't young, I think eventually you can't keep the vibrations out of it, especially full-time. But then again my experience is with old domestic 4x4s, not Toys! This time of year though? Snow on the rims and anything else can cause vibration!

My04T4R Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Turns out its the wheel bearing, its so bad its affecting my brakes. Got a new koyo one sitting beside me but tomorrow they are gettin me for 2.5 hrs labo... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Didn't realize the 8cyl was F/T 4WD and also missed the "under load" part until I re-read everything. Eugene is on the right path; it's driveline related. Any shake/feel in the steering wheel? At your next stop: Park on level ground, e-brake on and in Neutral (chock a wheel as well for safety ;) ). Crawl under the Runner and grab the rear & front drive shafts as close to the u-joint as possible and "push - n - pull" as hard as you can. You'll likely feel a "click/clunk" at one of the joints. I would suspect a rear joint is going which would explain as to why the noise/vibration subsides as the rear axle is live (directly connected to the wheel and springs) as opposed to the front (fixed diff to the frame). ETA: LOL, Just saw the post above. This is what happens when you take 30 minutes to complete a comment due to chasing kids around the house. FWIW, I just sent back a new hub installed in August for warranty replacement (Rockauto.com) today. Damn thing had less than 5k kms and I haven't had it in the woods.

derekmac Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Damn, 2.5 hours to change it! At least you'll be good to go, and won't have to worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRUXterra Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Jebus, I got lazy last week (not really lazy, just came to the realization that replacing my hub assembly in -15*C, in my driveway covered in snow & ice wasn't worth my time/effort) and spent $70 to have a shop replace my front hub.

sar4x4 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Fort McMoney? $140 an hour? What part of the world are you in! I just had some work done at Speedy, $84.95 an hour. I think I'll got back to school and become a mechanic, or better yet, buy stock in a stealership! I bet as the unemployment rate goes up out west that price drops............

Eastcoastcam Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Turns out its the wheel bearing, its so bad its affecting my brakes. Got a new koyo one sitting beside me but tomorrow they are gettin me for 2.5 hrs labo... :( Sheesh! I have changing the hub/bearing on my Jeep down to about 1/2 hour now! $200/hr is incentive to work on your own rig whenever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My04T4R Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Unfortunately i dont have anywhere to work on it for now, i was looking all over for a bearing and hub already pressed like the driver side one i got a couple months back but no ones got em in stock around here, if it were just unbolt and bolt back in i would suffer the cold and do it myself. Got no choice this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 So, which bearing was it? Passenger front? I know my OEM Rogue front bearings are crap. The first time they were changed under warranty at about 50k. When they went the second time at 100k, I put in SKF premiums. Not cheap, but most folks say I shouldn't ever need to change them again. They were 3x the price of white box parts though! And yup, a really bad front wheel bearing (loose, not just grinding!) will affect the brakes. The travel of the brake pedal and piston will be all used up just to straighten the rotor, and there is nothing left to stop the wheels then. Ask me how I know! I even changed the master cylinder thinking that was my brake problem! Until I found the wheel falling off when I lifted the front wheel for something else! Then I switched from the 1/2-3/4 ton axle to the 1 ton. Rough roads, 37" tires, winch. The 1/2 ton axle kept going through wheel bearings, ball joints, and then the pinion bearing. Ya gotta have big gear to play big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My04T4R Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yeah passenger front Eugene. Since I have owned it at 146,XXX kms and now at 251,XXX kms i have replaced that bearing, I used the ultra premium part from napa which I forget the brand (we will find out later when I take a look) but it was 200$ compared to oem from napa koyo at 150$. This bearing was changed around july of 13. But I suppose it has been wheeled very hard for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My04T4R Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Anyways sorry I have been getting very off topic the past few days thats enough of that. Ending note: I am just damn glad its not a bearing in the driveline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 All good Sam, we all get off topic ;) just glad it wasnt something major or worse than the wheel bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
