Replying to: 03altima (Nov 21, 2007 3:01 pm) I've had this problem since my was 30K, 3 years ago. Now it's 110K. I went to dealership 4 times, and they claimed they couldn't hear the sound. We even drove together, but the service manager insisted that he couldn't hear the sound. There is a service bulletin that you can find in this edmunds. Anyway, my car runs fine, in that area, even though I would hear rattling from time to time.

Replying to: jd10013 (Feb 09, 2008 6:50 pm) I have the same model. I have not had a noise problem. Replaced my OEM's with Goodrich, size 225. Costco told me that I could go up and the they are made by Michelin. I have no problems. I thought the law was that OEM tire replacement had to be the same exact size?

#2187 of 2489 Passenger side view mirror remove/install by dhyde2 Feb 16, 2008 (8:48 am)
Can anyone tell me how to remove the sideview mirror so I can replace it myself? I am having trouble getting it off. Replies to this message: busiris (Feb 16, 2008 2:08 pm) lindseyj6 (Jul 16, 2008 9:54 am) karpediem (Jul 17, 2008 2:32 pm)

Replying to: dhyde2 (Feb 16, 2008 8:48 am) This text was taken from the service manual....sorry, but I couldn't copy the associated diagrams that go with it....Hopefully, this info will assist you...   Disassembly   1. Turn the mirror glass surface upward. 2. Apply a protective tape (A) to mirror housing. Insert a suitable tool (B) into the concave gap between the mirror holder (1) and mirror motor (2) Push up tabs (3) (two locations) on the mirror holder to disengage the lower part of mirror holder, and remove the mirror body assembly. NOTE: When pushing up tabs (3), do not forcefully push up only one concave position but try to push up two concave positions.   3. Remove the mirror body (1) from the mirror housing assembly (2). 4. Disconnect the two terminals from the mirror heater connector. 5. Remove the screws and power unit from the housing.   Assembly   1. Install the mirror motor. 2. Install the mirror cover. 3. Place mirror holder bracket and mirror body assembly (actuator) in a horizontal position. 4. Connect two terminals on the heater installed mirror. 5. Engage the upper tabs on the mirror body (1) onto the mirror motor (2) Then press the lower side of mirror face until a click sound is heard to engage the lower tabs. NOTE: After installation, visually make sure lower two tabs are securely engaged from the bottom of mirror face. Make sure to insert the harness terminals into the correct connector. Do not confuse the locations.

Replying to: skinsfan3 (Feb 13, 2008 4:54 pm) If by Goodrich you mean BF Goodrich, they're not part of Michelin but they are good. BFG is American and Micheline are French   I think that I'm going to go with the BFG Traction TA. They're 91 a pice at BJs and I know a few people with them that are pleased. I always had good luch with BFGs. I love the Michelins that I put on my wife's Pathfinder but the Alt doesn't get driven enough to justify that extra expense. I'm hoping that BJs will have that coupon in the next couple of weeks Replies to this message: gsemike (Feb 23, 2008 12:36 pm)

Replying to: gsemike (Feb 16, 2008 3:29 pm) Prologue - I stand corrected. BFG is owned by Michelin but I think manufactured in the US. I got the T rated traction TAs and so far, so good. They're quieter than the OEM bridgestones and the traction feels good. I got a chance to test it out with the snow yesterday and really not bad.
#2191 of 2489 cracked radiator by mpcklb Mar 07, 2008 (4:36 pm)

Replying to: mpcklb (Mar 07, 2008 4:36 pm) I'm pretty sure you can buy sealants, but I wouldn't recomend it. just buy yourself a new radiator and save a lot of hassle and head ace in the future. Replies to this message: gsemike (Mar 09, 2008 1:26 pm)

Replying to: jd10013 (Mar 07, 2008 6:14 pm) The sealant will clog the heck out of the entire cooling system. Definately penny wise pound foolish. There are some head gasket sealants that are worth the bother, but not just for a radiator
