Subject : NISSAN MISTRAL/TERRANO BODY VIBRATION
Hi, I have a nissan mistral/terrano 1997 facelift ,intercooler turbo.
On 1500 rev truck is vibrating /shivering badly,even if its not in the
drive, once passed 1500 rev truck drives smooth.specially while you
drive on window closed it makes your ear feels closed, noticed when it
drives mainly 50km speed . please let me know if someone got a answer
for this....cheers

    This vibration at 1500 revs, is that from a cold start? When the
    engine heats up, does the vibration lessen or go away? Any thick smoke
    on cold start? How long does the glow plug light on the dash take to
    go out after you first switch on the key on a cold start? Sorry but I
    don't understand what you mean re the window being closed..there is an
    effect like being inside a drum if one window is wound down even
    partially under certain circumstances, especially if you do not have
    deflectors or monsoon shields. It is caused by the air pressure
    differential between outside and inside (the air outside pressurises
    the cabin which expands slightly, then relaxes, then repressurises
    etc......can feel funny on the ears.

      Hi, No thick smoke on cold start, glow plug go out as usual, every
      thing works fine, vibration remains after engine heatup,i know what
      you mean by one window down, its just the body vibration, just
      wondering about the engine mounts???

        Engine mounts/gearbox mounts could be a possibility, especially if you
        have no smoke on startup and glowplug lights are behaving normally.
        One person had bad vibrations only when turning left..that was a
        broken mount on the engine. How long have you had this problem? Did it
        start suddenly, or just gradually over a period of weeks? When you rev
        the engine while the car is stopped and in neutral, does the engine
        still vibrate up to 1500 revs? Then it's engine related. If the
        vibration only happens when actually driving along the road, it could
        be worn U joints in the drive line. The problem can be found by
        logically listing what does happen when you change the parameters of
        your driving.

          at the time of purchace, didint payed much attention coz of diesel
          engine , every time when the rev pass through 1000-1500rev vibrates

I have bought a workshop
manual that should cover the truck but the fule system seems to be
tottaly differant and it does not seem to have an EMU or a MAF
detector on the carb. I need to adjust the mixture as i am adding a
Hydrogen system to it. Can anyone throw any light on the fule control

          So you are going to put some sort of hydrogen gas system on your
          diesel engine??? or is it really a system which is intended for a
          petrol engine which has all those sensors built in?? I presume the
          hydrogen system uses a piggy back computer??? I can't see how you can
          make this work on a diesel..that being said, there are systems using
          LP as additional fueling systems for diesels to increase horsepower
          and torque..but too much grenades the engine. Good luck, but I would
          be doing a lot more research before trying anything like what you
          propose on this diesel engine.....

            No. It’s not just intended for just a petrol car. It can be fitted
            to any type of car. It is intended to reduce the fuel consumption of
            the car. I have fitted the system to the car and am attempting to
            discover the operation of the injection system, as the manual I have
            for the car does not seem to have the same type of control system as
            my car. I have discovered that the book indicates a Mass Air flow
            detection system and oxygen sensor system to detect the fuel mixture
            but, my car has no oxygen sensors or a Mass Air flow detection system.
            It seems to have a MAP or Mass Air Pressure detector on the inlet
            manifold after the turbo. Basically the book is useless. However
            having discovered this I can use it to lean out the mixture and am
            building a control box to control the mixture. The MAP sensor can be
            one of two types, a DC voltage that increases with engine speed and
            load or a Frequency based sensor where the oscillating frequency
            increases with speed and load. Basically the addition of hydrogen to
            the airflow will cause a more complete combustion of the fuel and
            hence the mpg. I have gained efficiency even with ought the adjustment
            to the mixture but will be able to increase the MPG gain when the
            mixture is corrected. I would be interested to know is any one else
            has the same sensor system on their vehicle?
            I Have a 10% fuel
            saving currently and hope to increase it to around 30% when done.

              Are you saying you are aiming for a 30% reduction in diesel
              consumption? Fantastic! you will be using 30%less diesel..and 100%
              more hydrogen...and unless you have access to "free" hydrogen, how
              will that be more economical? The LPG systems I mentioned already
              exist with a claimed up to 40% increase in power and torque..and at
              41% the engine turns into a hand grenade. You would think that if
              diesel vehicle manufacturers could reliably improve fuel consumption
              and do so at less cost, they would already have done it and boasted
              about it.....but, it will be interesting to see how you go, there
              always has to be the one genius to make a breakthrough...good luck.

                The Hydrogen is generated on board using Hydrolysis. It is 66%
                hydrogen and 33% oxygen and is injected in to the air intake. It uses
                the 12 Volts from the battery to produce 1 litre pm of gas. The Idea
                is not to increase the power of the engine but to allow the weaker
                diesel/air to be supplemented by the hydrogen so no danger of bombing
                the engine. By adjusting the MAF sensor output to the EMU end hence
                the mixture to account for the hydrogen the amount of diesel used for
                the same power can be much less. No hydrogen is stored on board as it
                is generated as it is needed by the engine.

                  Oh dear, the "something for nothing" concept of fuel economy. Where
                  does the battery get it's 12 volts? From the alternator. Where does
                  the alternator get it's drive? From the engine via the pulley and V
                  Belt. Where does the engine get it's fuel..from diesel and
                  hydrogen.
                  It costs fuel (energy), which costs money, to produce
                  alternative fuel (hydrogen) to fuel the engine.
                  you do know about
                  superchargers use them and the engine has to supply horsepower to
                  drive the supercharger to compress the air to push into the engine..up
                  to 200hp on a 100hp dragster etc etc. Your hydrogen generator is also
                  a parasite.....

                    I have done the numbers on the system and the amount of power produced
                    by the engine as a result of burning the HHO is 40% greater than the
                    amount of power used by the HHO generator to produce the amount of HHO
                    gas stated. The generator consumes 200Watts from the battery. I
                    realise you are sceptical and I was before I examined the figures.
                    There are numerous papers on the subject if you care to consult them.
                    It remains a fact that at this time, I have a fuel saving with ought
                    MAP adjustment of 15% over a period of motoring over the same distance
                    and terrain. Your comments regarding the car manufactures, not using
                    the technology are not necessarily true, at least not in this country.
                    If we all did it the government would loose a lot of revenue on fuel
                    duty and after the way the big companies have been found wanting
                    lately and that most of them are milking us for all they can get I
                    don’t think its in there interest to produce a car that runs on an
                    alternative fuel. However this is only my opinion and if I can give a
                    little less to the taxman I will try my hardest to do it. Like most
                    people my cash balance is being squeezed by the current situation and
                    this is a cost that will only go up and up. If you have any imperial
                    evidence or practical expertise to support your comments I would be
                    glad to hear them and indeed they may be of some help. Thanks

Hi I have a 1991 Nissan Terrano turbo deisel auto, this car has run
like a gem however the other day on the highway it starts dropping in
and out of overdrive constantly then going up a hill would not kick
into overdrive and sat on 80klms struggling up the hill, it is not
doing this around town on small drives only after drivin g for about
half hour, also the next morning when I started the car the AT light
was flashing intermitently only on starting. I also have an electric
fuel pump fitted, hoping yopu can give me some answers :)

    The flashing a/t light is signalling the fault code for the auto
    trans.
    It's electronic brain reveals that to you by a series of
    flashes such as 1 2 3 4; 1 2; 1 2 3 4; 1 2 (repeating).
    If you
    can find out this code and post it here we may be able to see what the
    probable fault may be.
    Every time you switch on the ignition to
    start the engine this code will flash until you fix the
    problem.

    A damn good start would be to have the auto trans
    serviced; the pan on the bottom is dropped, fluid drained and the
    filter removed, torn apart to check what type of debris has been
    caught. Depending on how much debris in the filter and in the bottom
    of the pan an experienced auto trans engineer can tell you what has
    gone wrong, and ballpark what it's going to cost to fix it.
    It
    may be as simple as a new filter, pan gasket and a refill with dexron3
    fluid.
    It may cost a lot more.....a rebuild of the
    trans.....
    While he is under the vehicle he will physically check
    the electric connections to the trans, and possibly can spray clean
    them with contact cleaner.
    Why did you have an electric fuel pump
    fitted? There is an engine powered fuel pump already..did this fail?

    The fitting of that should not have precipitated the auto trans
    problems, unless the wiring has been botched.
    This engine/trans
    combination is almost bulletproof with REGULAR oil/fluid/filter
    changes.
    Good luck. Post the code!!!!

    Are you the proud owner of a nissan Navarra? Your vehicle is at most 2
    years old..unless you used acid as coolant I can't imagine how you
    destroyed a heater core in 2 years. It sounds like it could still be
    under manufacturer's warranty, so the first thing i would do is go
    back to the selling dealer and inform him of the problem..and ask him
    to fix it at no cost.
    If that for some reason is impossible, try
    tracking down the connections where rubber hoses meet metal heater
    tubes, and check for tightness of clasmps/joints.

    Do you have any recourse to the previous owner to get him to at least
    open the sunshade? The rattling can be fixed with a thin sheet or
    strips of rubber between it and then sunroof. But it sounds like the
    PO glued things shut to stop the rattle instead of fixing it properly.
    See if you can slip a blunt old knife or similar round the edge of the
    sunshade to loosen it up until it can slide.

    can of expanding foam..and fill the whole cavity..guaranteed there

  • Subject : over heating when towing
    The first thing to check is the fan clutch..does the fan turn and
    "roar" i.e. move air when it is first started in the morning? It
    should do this for the first 1 km or so, then the sound will die away
    and it will idle until the temperature of the air flowing over it,
    heated by the radiator, causes the fan to re-engage and "roar' once
    more. if it does not do this when the temperature guage goes over
    half way (steep hills,towing, hot day) then you have to replace the
    fan and clutch as one unit. Easy, remove radiator, take out old fan,
    install new.
    Does it take forever to warm up, yet gets very hot
    when the towing etc..then you have a partially open
    thermostat..replace with Nissanone..not the replacement generic from
    the nearest parts shop..that won't have the length to do a good job
    when starting from cold.
    Does your guage immediately go to high
    temperature from start..then you have a stuck shut
    thermostat..replace.
    Are you loosing a lot of coolant out of the
    neck of the radiator from cold when you take the rad cap off,
    accompanied by thrashing bubbles..then you have a combustion leak into
    the coolant usually the head gasket needs replacing, head planed, plus
    new thermostat, hoses and probably a rodding-out of the radiator etc
    etc.
    But I am only using my crystal ball, which has a crack in

    Any symptoms I haven't covered that are a problem with your

    Replacing fan clutch actually entails removing and replacing water
    pump..you can swap over the fan from the old pump..unless you can see
    cracks at the join of the blades and the hub..in which case a new fan
    should be bought as well..unless you want fan blades flying including

    When was the last time you replaced the fuel filter and the air
    filter? If it has been over a year or 12,000 miles, do them. Open up
    the old fuel filter with a hacksaw just under the top rim, check to
    see if it is blocked by algae/crud etc. If so, trace fuel line from
    filter to fuel pump and check fine gauze filter under banjo bolt where
    fuel line enters fuel injection pump.
    When you first turn on the
    ignition key, does any orange light flash on the dash? It will be
    something like flick, flick, pause, flick flick etc.? That may be a
    trouble code thrown by the ECU.
    There may also be a code thrown to
    show 'limp home' mode where the trans basically stays in 3rd gear..but
    it doesn't sound like that problem. Check the air supply tubes running
    from the filter to the turbo, then to the inter cooler, then to the
    intake manifold, for tears, especially underneath where tears are hard
    to find. If you are going to do this with the engine running, watch
    out for the V belts etc.

    When was the last time you changed the filter in the air supply? Do
    you use the aircon at the same time you use the heater for demisting
    the windows? By so doing you cool the incoming air, the moisture in
    which condenses on the cooling core, which leaves cool dry air to go
    through the heating core, which then delivers hot, dry air to your
    demisters. So, the two problems are : volume of air (replace your
    filter) and the moisture content (use your aircon).

    The only way to be sure you have the right amount of oil in the sump
    is to drain it and then pour the correct amount back into the
    engine..and you may as well do this with nice clean oil anyway. The
    sump empty should take at least 5.5 litres, plus another .5 litre if
    you replace the oil filter at the same time. Then find out where the
    oil levels come to on your stick, and mark the stick with a file and
    maintain the oil level topped up to that point..
    If your dipstick
    is too short, try to find another one...who knows what a previous
    owner has bodged up,,perhaps when some service station forecourt
    attendant left the dipstick lying in the engine compartment instead of
    putting it back in the tube after a check? The important points to a
    dipstick are: that it indicates the correct level of oil, and that the
    top properly seals against the dipstick tube so no oil can sprays out,
    or dirty air be drawn in, which means you can adapt one from another
    vehicle. try a wrecker..they may be able to help, but some
    dipsticks/tubes are longer than others....

Subject : Front diff oil
After having owned a 1993 2.7 turbo wide body auto transmission
terrano for 12 trouble free years of general motoring and towing both
a 5 metre caravan and similar sized boat (not at same time) I sold the
vehicle still performing like new and purchased a low kms 1996
diesel/turbo/intercooled/auto QD32 model for the extra power
easpecially when towing. I have not been disappointed; it is a
different beast but I still get a little nostalgic for my old Terrano.
Enough talk; I had a faint rear diff whine in the QD32 and could
hear chattering when cornering (it has a limited slip diff). I have
drained and refilled the diff with LSD oil grade 85W 140 which is
recommented on both CASTROL and NULON Oils home pages despite the
local NISSAN dealer workshop advsing me to use 90 grade gear oil. The
whine and Chatter has gone and I have towed the caravan aroundthe
South Island trouble free. I would like to change the oil in the
front diff. Can I use the same grade of oil as the rear diff and
while I am at it can you confirm that the transfer box uses DEXRON 3?
Thanks.

    Yes you can..LSD oil is necessary in LSD rear axles, and will work in

    use in both diffs, using a $10 Warehouse 4 litre sprayer with the
    spray tip removed. Quick injection of the oil, no mess, no fuss.
    Always make sure you can undo the filler bung BEFORE taking out the
    drain bung...and check that the vents work while you are under
    there...
    Dexron3 confirmed. Do not use Dex6. I have also put a
    magnefine in line filter in the circuit, plus an extra auto trans
    cooler and can tow without worries of overheating..yours may already

      The only way to be sure is with a spline count..the number of splines
      on the axle must match the number of slots in the new locking
      mechanism..and of course there are different spline counts on
      different models and years. Let's face it, if you can replace the
      factory locking mechanism by using Nissan parts and get another 15
      years of life by lubricating them and exercising them properly..why
      spend extra on manual hubs (unless you are hard-core offroader..in
      which case why are you using a Terrano with it's limited aftermarket
      parts availability?)

  • Subject : Terrano overheating
    Taking out the thermostat doesn't help with a modern vehicle as the
    water the cannot be forced by the pump the circulate through the
    passages in the head and block, and will "short circuit" by the
    easiest and shortest way causing steam pockets and worse
    problems.
    the most likely problem is your radiator. take it out,
    ahve a radiator shop take off the top and bottom tanks and rod the
    radiator through the tubes.
    Then put the radiator back in, put in
    the correct Nissan thermostat (not some cheap knock off from the
    corner garage) and fill everything with good anti freeze/anti boil and
    you should be good to go.The only other remotely possible cause for
    ;poor or no circulation is the water pump impeller being loose on it's
    shaft, or broken fins on the rotor, but that is very unlikely and can
    be checked with the engine cold but full of water, take off one of the
    heater hoses at the thermostat, start the engine and see if the water
    squirts out of the hole under pressure..you will need the thermostat
    in for that...

    Oops, one other thing, check that the fan is working properly..it is a
    heat sensitive and should engage immediately the engine is started,
    remain on for a short time until it reaches a certain temperature,
    then 'idle' still rotating a little until it gets hot enough to "kick
    in" (when climbing hills/towing) and the roar is quite distinctive. If
    there is no change in the sound of the fan when it engages, then you
    will need to replace the fan clutch, or replace it and the water pump
    as one unit.

Subject : Heater cuts out Intermitently Navara
I have a 2004 Nissan Navara. Sometimes the heater works fine, other
times it switches on ok, but then cuts out, sometimes within minutes
other times it may be after 20 mins. There is no pattern to it, just
randomly stopping working. Any ideas?
Jaki

  • Subject : Heater cuts out Intermitently Navara
    Are we talking about the fan motor cutting out, or is it the actual
    heat coming out of the heater?
    If the fan motor is cutting out,
    does this happen at all fan speeds, or just one in particular?
    If
    all fan speeds are affected, then the fan motor itself may have worn
    brushes or a bad ground from the motor to the chassis.
    If1,2,3
    speeds are affected, but 4 still works, then we are looking at a
    problem with the resistor on the fan housing, either corroded contacts
    or heating up and losing contact internally.
    If the level of heat
    is the problem, then the regulation of the heat has a problem which
    IIRC that is an all electronic unit which may require replacement,
    possibly second hand would be the most economical?

  • Subject : torsion bar
    I presume you are using a second hand bar, so this may already be
    "sagging".
    Logically, if the bar is still intact, then the fixings
    (splines) at either end must have slipped, or the tension initially
    set on the bar on installation was too low.
    Take the bar out
    again, check for any sign of spline damage from a "slip".
    If the
    drop occurred instantaneously, the splines must have
    slipped.

    If it happened over a period of time, then perhaps
    the tension needs to be increased, i.e. a couple of splines more
    tension initially, then slip it into the splines, then reset the
    adjuster to the correct ride height or even slightly more and see if
    it "sags" to the right height under load and time pressures.
    If it
    slowly sags again, try another couple of splines more tension etc etc.

    What state is the battery in? Do you have your foot on the brake and
    the ignition key on when you attempt to move the selector from park?
    The brake circuit activates a relay that allows the selector to move;
    no foot on brake with key"on" means the selector can't be
    moved.
    When you say there is a loud shrilling, is that immediately
    when you turn the ignition to "on" or is it when you turn the key
    further to try to start? Does the starter motor trying to engage the
    ring gear make this shrilling, and the engine refuses to turn
    over?
    I suspect a weak battery and/or dirty grounds on the earth
    straps to the engine and chassis.

        The cheapest,easiest part to replace is the battery. Perhaps the key
        fob activates when it is in your pocket, draining the battery very
        quickly. If YOU put a new battery in now, you will be able to check
        the results straight away. As I said, you knew you had put a new
        battery in before it went away. The company SAID they replaced the
        battery, but do you know for sure that the replacement battery was
        100%?
        Just do it.....then you can eliminate that niggle

    When you use the air con at the same time as the heater on full, with
    the air controls set to demist, what effect does that have on the
    demisting process in your case?
    Theoretically, the incoming cold
    air is cooled, the moisture drops out and condenses on the freezing
    cold air con matrix, and the dry cold air then goes over the heater
    matrix, providing hot dry air which will demist the car
    properly.
    Can you confirm this happens?
    Also, has your vehicle
    got a pollen filter in the air conduit in behind the glove box? This
    can also trap leaves etc which can block the air supply? If no pollen
    filter, then leaves can go through and jam the various flaps and
    levers controlling the distribution of air.

        try it while you are coasting very slowly in neutral on the main
        gearbox; the slight motion may relieve any pressure on the gears and
        allow easier engagement. If the vehicle is new to you, you probably
        don't know how often the previous owner engaged 4wd low (possibly

          Hi John, Tried that a few times today but still it wont go into
          neutral or low ratio, probably next thing is to get it on a ramp and
          have a look and maybe have the tranfer box out, more money, thanks
          again for your help and if you do come up with any more idea's let me

          Hi John, Was already to go and buy a second hand box becuase i was
          starting to think after you said that it may be rusted solid, anyhow i
          let a mechanic look at it you were right it was rusted tight and as
          you said probably with the lack of use, He had the car away for 2
          hours and brought it back and everything working fine, without your
          help i just might have gone and spent a small fortune but at the end
          of the day he only charged me £20, I know this is a bit early but
          have a very happy Xmas and New Year, and thanks again, Regards, Ray.

            It was a pleasure to be of service. Here in NZ we don't have the
            severe winters which require salt on the roads which kills all things
            mechanical.
            Just find a small gravel or mud lane somewhere nearby
            and use that selector once a month at least and drive in 4wd to keep
            everything working as it should.
            Same with the air conditioning,
            at least once a month, summer or winter to keep the system functioning
            properly.
            Enjoy the Silly Season which is fast approaching!

    If your terrano is an auto make sure its in park or neutral before
    moving to low range . You also have to push the transfer lever down
    and back as you shift from high 4 to low 4 .

    Did you leave your keys in the ignition as well? Spray the keyhole
    with a good water repellent like wd40 or crc5.56 or 6.66 to drive out
    moisture. With the key in the ignition and turned to "on", can you
    raise and lower the windows etc which shows that the immobiliser could
    well be the problem?

      and had been doing it for awhile just needed to have someone to help
      me do them.. The new noise started on thursday of last week, i just
      took it to a mechanic and they have removed the spring from the right
      side hub as they said it was broken and that is what was causing the
      noise. i can no longer use 4wd but im happy as long as i can still use
      the car. the noise was happening as i was driving down the road.

        So it was the auto locking hub spring which gave up the ghost? you
        should be able to get that part from Nissan. If you very rarely use
        4wd, just replace the spring and you should be good to go for another
        14 years. Otherwise you may have to shell out for manual locking
        hubs, they rarely break, but they can be expensive to buy. good luck.

    If you bought this part through a retailer, go back with it and
    exchange it for the correct one. It does not matter what the part
    number is, you need one which is the correct length, so use the
    original and have it matched, then get a full wheel alignment done.

    unless you haven't been changing the engine oil and filter regularly,

AK, NZ - Fri 20th July 2012 10:39pm (GMT)
  • Subject : Vacuum pump
    Take the rubber vacuum hose off the connection to the diaphragm of the
    brake booster, start the engine and place your finger over the end of
    the hose and see how much vacuum there is being created. The vacuum
    should be noticeable and increase as the revs rise.
    I presume that
    your brakes are becoming ineffective?
    It may not be the problem
    with the production of vacuum, but the retention of it in the
    booster...that could be leaking.
    are you losing brake fluid as
    well? Check for brake fluid in the end of the hose you take off the
    booster.
    Any brake fluid there indicates a problem in the
    booster.
    GET IT FIXED QUICKLY.

    Check the integrity of the hoses leading from the turbo to the

    You've left your research a bit late. if you know nothing about these
    vehicles, get a mechanic you trust to look over the vehicle. He may be
    able to spot obvious serious problems quickly, or otherwise advise
    problems that can be brought to the seller's attention to bargain down
    the price.
    Remember the old adage, "Buying second hand is buying
    someone else's problems"
    That being said most of these vehicles
    are reliable if they are maintained properly; try and ascertain the
    owner's attitude to maintenance as it is a good indicator as to how
    the vehicle has been treated. Look at the stickers re oil and filter
    changes, cleanliness under bonnet, oil on the dipstick, water in the
    reservoirs etc.
    If buying from a dealer believe nothing, and be
    wary of "as far as I know" answers...
    Good luck

    Don't just sit there listening to it, do something about it!
    Top
    suspect would be CV joint,look for a ripped boot; then auto hubs
    especially if you have not lubricated them, (and the noise goes away
    when the 4wd system is engaged i.e. when pressure goes on the
    components and locks them up),then brake discs/pads/sliding caliper
    pins etc.
    Time for you to get dirty and greasy....

      • Subject : clicking noise from front wheel
        Before you drain the oil out, MAKE SURE you unscrew the fill
        plug...they can be a beyatch to remove...
        Capacity is about 2.8
        litres.
        I've used Repco LSD oil which comes in a 4 litre pack and
        had good results.
        Buy one of those $10 4 litre pressure sprayers
        from the warehouse, leave the spray head off, and there is no fuss
        pumping the heavy lubricant into the diff, plus you have some left
        over for top ups if necessary.Do the front diff at the same time, you
        can use lsd oil in a non lsd diff, but not the other way
        round.
        Unscrew and check that the vent on top of the diff isn't
        gunged up; it is supposed to allow air in and out. Helps stop leaks
        caused by a build up of pressure. It also allows water in if you dip
        into a river with a hot diff, which is why you should replace diff
        fluid every time you go seriously 4wd through rivers. Cheaper than
        replacing the diff....

            There is nothing wrong with lubricating and restoring an auto hub. If
            you need to replace them, They are cheap and appear regularly on
            trademe. They certainly don't cost as much as the manual hubs. The
            secret is to use 4wd once a month, summer or winter, to keep the
            systems operational.Just like the airCon system, regular use
            throughout the year..
            Front diff has slightly less capacity, but
            have another 4 litre pack ready just in case...
            As previously
            stated, to check if the locking hubs still function properly, get
            under the vehicle with the 4wd selector in 2 H, engine off, twist the
            front drive shaft one way then the other. You will hear a click from
            both hubs engaging/disengaging if they are both working.
            While you
            are in the front hubs, check and lubricate the wheel bearings. Don't
            just throw more grease at them, take them apart, wash out and
            lubricate them.
            It looks complicated, but it is not rocket
            science..your local mechanic is not normally a rocket scientist, is
            he???
