Nissan Repair: 97 maxima, defective tire, rotor


Question
I have a 97 Maxima and it just recently started making a roaring noise when you are driving sometimes when on the interstate going through a curve it will stop,but when the wheel is back straight the roar continues.Is this a warped rotor or a front bearing?
Thanks

Answer
Dwayne,

This could be either a bad bearing or a defective tire.  You could rotate the tires to see if the noise moves to the back.  If not, have the bearings checked.  You could do this yourself if you jack up the front end and spin the tires by hand to see if there is noise or grabbing while the tire rotates.
