Nissan Repair: noise coming from passenger side wheel, cv driveshaft, constant velocity


Question
hi, i hv nissan 1998 altima. i am hearing noise front passenger side wheel like driving flat tier and when i make slight turn lefe hear little loud noise and stearing wheel little shake.

Answer
Kei,

The constant-velocity joint has probably failed and that requires a rebuilt driveshaft for that side.  Also, you are going to need an alignment after the replacement since the lower strut and spindle have to be seperated to get the CV driveshaft out and the new one in.  Also, I would check the other side for a defective CV since they tend to fail close to the same time.
