Doing one corner of the vehicle at a time, force one corner of the vehicle to bounce then let go, if the vehicle bounces more than 1 1/2 times after you let go the strut or shock is bad.
Typically age/wear. If you replace one, you should consider replacing all of them as they are weakened by the bad one.
The main fuse panel is located to the left of the steering wheel under the instrument panel. To Open, push forward on the tab and pull down. after removing the suspected bad fuse, look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new one of the correct size.
There was a couple years that Chevy and GMC used a circuit board in the tail light assembly. It was a bad design. We had several in our fleet at work and many went bad. They are available from the dealer new. Not much you can do to repair the old one, just replace it with a new one.
bad starter. Hit it with a hammer lightly while anothe person turns the key. suggestion, replace the starter.
I have that problem right now. What I did was ascertain through hearing and feel that it was one of the front bearings. As a general rule--you never replace just one bearing. Either the two front or the two rear. Short of actually removing each bearing, this is your only option--unless you want to pay the bucks for a crackerjack mechanic; and if you do take bearings out--you never replace with the same old bearing--always new. Bad wheel bearings usually make noise. Try to listed to where the noise comes from.
One reason a cars front end may shake is bad struts. However, it can also be other things such as a bad tire or even if an alignment is needed.
It sounds like bad struts. Push down on the front of the vehicle as hard as you can and let go. If the vehicle bounces more than one time the struts are bad.
best results are to replace the air struts with conventional macferson struts.use Taurus struts of the same year,front struts are straightforward,however the rears my need one hole drilled to access the difference in the bolt pattern of the upper strut mount.
i have a 2004 altima and have received quotes for the 2 front struts. one quote is as high as 300 dollars per side..parts, labor, tire balance and front end alignment. this quote is based upon Nissan parts, or what a Nissan dealership would charge to do it. the mechanic said it would be less..but he wouldn't say how much more less. 2nd quote is 115 per side..that's all they said-with the exception that you should replace all 4 at the same time(rolling eyes) You do not have to replace all four struts at once, but you shouldn't just do one at time either. Replace them in pairs if you can't do all four. Struts are around $200 each. I would not recommend having a Nissan dealer replace them because the labor alone is going to cost way too much money; have a local certified mechanic do it instead.
if you have the motor tore down you should replace them all
yes
Most likely the wiring to the abs sensor on one of the wheels has been damaged or become unplugged. Check all wiring in the area of the struts.
Perhaps a bad selector switch If it is a bad selector can I replace the one on the dash (the one for selecting the vent) or is there some control module elsewhere in the vehicle that I can replace to fix the problem?
You need to take the belt off, and spin all the pulleys by hand and you should not be able to hear them turning. If you can then replace the one's that you hear because the bearings are bad in them. If they are all good then replace the belt. But I'm sure you will find a bad pulley somewhere.
Replace the stock springs and struts to performance-oriented ones. The drawback is: you may have to sacrifice ride comfort ..
You replace all of the bulbs in the cluster. Go to dealer, specify year & model, and buy the kit (usually 8 to 14 bulbs). Costs about $20. Remove the cluster, and one at a time replace all the bulbs. (p.s. if one went bad, the rest are going to die soon too.)
If your starter is bad you simply replace it with another one.
