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.

How do you know which hub bearing is bad?

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.

How much does it cost to replace shocks and struts on a 2005 Nissan maxima?

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.

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.
