The hub is actually bolted to the knuckle with 4 bolts nearly exactly as the rears are and is sooooo much easier to change out.

Okay he said my bearing was actually bad but I could buy the hub since it comes with the bearing itself. Is it beneficial to replace the hub with the new bearing or just get the bearing? I have 162k on the car and I really want to replace it with something else by january. I am just fixing the last of the problems so I can get rid of it.

Thanks guys

No benefit to replacing the hub unless there is an issue with it, just the bearing.

Looks good...

Tein-S rear springs will make the rear sit a little lower. I may have to pick up a set of RL front springs to even out the drop a bit on my ride.

Thanks guys. Car sounds great at WOT. My 03 2.5 made a different tone at 5100k. I've noticed this have a deeper tone, sounds a lot better and is a wider rpm range. I've been looking at exhausts as well. I saw that obx has a cat back for $420 shipped on eBay. Only thing I was skeptical about was how big the mufflers look. Anyone have experience with this system?

I tried to find my paperwork but couldn't but IIRC when the dealer replaced mine under warranty they ordered the bearing and hub as two separate pieces and I am pretty sure they replaced my knuckle also for whatever reason.

Tire valve stem leak. Every time I jiggle it around, *PSHHHH* as air comes out. After a few hours, the tire's empty. -__-

Found this out after noticing a flat this morning and filling it up to 45psi a couple hours ago at the gas station down the block.

I was looking for Altima SE-R ad/commercial and found a pic from internet. I noticed it have 280 hp(right bottom corner) from pic! Nissan claim it was 260 hp.

I wonder nissan cutted 20hp? Maybe tune? OR pic text had photoshop?

EDIT: I read all altima se-r forum have more restricted than 2004-2006 Nissan Maxima because Nissan was scare altima se-r was too fast and powerful than maxima! I guess Nissan have to cut some hp and no lsd/hlsd or brembo brake. Maxima consider 4DSC = Four Door Sport Car. Altima SE-R not! hmm... UNLESS I can't imagine Altima SE-R have add type of Spec-V, more powerful, HLSD, and Brembo Brake. But still not 4DSC! Nissan will have embarassed!!!!!!!!!!!!! But Nissan provided Sentra SE-R Spec-V still have option of HLSD and brembo. I not understand.

Note: Sorry for horrible grammar/english or not.
