Steve, Thanks for the quick response. I did inspect them when I had it up and there was some minor cracking but no splits. I am mechanically inclined (restored a 73 plymouth duster) so I figured I would try to troubleshoot. It isn't the classic clicking noise of a bad CV joint but more of a growl at low speeds and a buzzing at higher speeds. The clicking that I heard while spinning the wheel manually was more like old skate board bearings where the ball separator was gone. ( like you can hear the ball bearings rolling and when they get to the top they fall and hit each other) didn't sound like it should be making that noise (like just the sound of gears turning). oh, one other thing is that it gets worse (only in one direction) if you saw the steering wheel back and forth while moving. maybe I'm thinking too much into it but it "sounds" like a bad wheel bearing but I'm skeptical because it only has 30k on it, and I've not had fun replacing wheel bearings on a FWD car before.

So after the dealer inspection here is what they found: 1. Bad wheel bearing (driver side) 2. warped rotors. 3. 1 tire out of round 4. bad lift gate motor and some trim piece that they said was missing 5. oil seal of some sort on the engine for the leak. and as far as I I've been told I'm only on the hook for the pro-rated cost of the tire. All and all I'm not upset, but all within 30,000 miles I don't know

Replying to: player1up (Nov 27, 2007 8:12 pm) Forbes just came out with the "Year's Poorest-Performing Cars" and the '07 Quest was number 8. On the other hand, our '99 GXE has 120,000 miles on it and hasn't left us stranded yet. It came out of a different factory though, Steve, visiting host |

| I have a 2001 Nissan Quest that is displaying a code that says my catalyst is under acceptable threshold, Bank1... Is anyone familiar with this particular problem, and where do I focus my repair? Ant help would be greatly appreciated... | |
