Bought the car in june with about 24K on the odo, so it has factory warranty remaining. When I test drove we heard a humming sound in the driver front similar to a wheel bearing. Of course Nissan dealer from where I bought the car swore it was the partially worn RSA’s and I thought it may be that or a wheel bearing. Drove home (about 400 miles) and have taken a trip down south and back and it never got worse so I definitely thought it was the crap Goodyear RSA. Got some Michelin 245 55 17 AS3’s yesterday. At low speeds still hear it. Sounds like when you cover your ear partially and you get a hollow sound. I still think it’s the wheel bearing, although wheel bearings get worse over a short time. Anyone else had to replace one before 100K? Replaced my Dodge Charger front at about 80K. thanks!!

 

My friend's 2008 had his front replaced at 80K he told me it was no charge.

 

my RF went at 17k on my '11.

 

He probably bought it new from the dealer he had it done at. i live in buffalo, and bought the car in Baltimore. If i get it fixed i will send the dealer the bill as its certified as THAT DEALER ONLY.. nissan dealer. 80K is about as expected, same with my charger.

 

dont know what RF is... how do you like your Michelin AS3's? I just got a set and they seem rough riding. 235 55 17; i can feel every course uneven bit in the street. Handles great as expected..

 

my bad.... thats early for a timken part to fail. what were the symptoms..

 

I've seen some go bad that soon, yes...

 

with the charger it got progressively worse quick. It has sounded the same as the biginning stages like the charger and i thought it was the tire. But it has gotten just slightly worse. Guess its a dealer visit. thanks again!
