    Default Need help with axle and bearing

    I have a 94 Nissan Sentra. My problem is that I just repaired the right or passenger side half shaft and bearing. When I turn to the left no sound. When I drive straight and turn right I get this ruddering sound and vibration. My questions
    Is this the right side or the left side?
    Is it the drive shaft or the bearing?

    Thanks for any help.

    Is this the problem you were experiencing before the repair?

    Yes it is the same thing I had before. The only problem I have now is I don't remember which way the noise came from on turns. If I knew which side the problem was coming from I could change it. I know there is some rule that if the noise comes from right turn the the left axle is the problem and vice versa. I just don't know if it is right noise left bad or right noise right bad. As far as now like I said noise on right turns no noise on left.

    Did this problem gradually appear or suddenly appear? I would check things like your motor and tranny mounts. If they are screwed up, your motor could be slightly of of line and putting a little pressure on the shaft. The shaft is designed with an inner "plunge" joint. As it tries to plunge inward the motor is not letting it, creating a vibration. This type of problem would have gradually appeared (usually) and would still exist although the axle was changed. This is the only thing I can think of outside of something being bent or maybe a bad hub bearing. Good luck.

    The problem went away when I made the repair. It is now back but I do'nt know if it is the same side. I can't remember.
