I am trying to calculate a budget within my tax refund. I aksed a question a few minutes ago regarding replacing brakes and the worst case scenario. This repair came up under worst case scenario for steering wheel shimmy and vibration. Just trying to figure how expensive this brake job will be if it unearths something unpleasant. (want to know how much of my refund to set aside for the not-so-fun spending!)
About $200-$250, max. That includes front end alignment from having to replace the tie rod ends.
But the steering wheel shimmy/vibe is probably tires out-of-balance, tires out-of-round or unevenly worn, or warped brake rotors.
ok if you have a shimmy then your problem will either in your tires or rack or in tie rod ends.it is rare to have a shimmy out oof a hub assy without having more noise than you can imagine.i would take it to nissan and let them tell you what is going on with it.they can tell you the problem and what to do about it.
7 year old car replaceinf brakes ineer and outer rod wheel brgs i say 650. including alignment where the hell is your b/f
The tie rods will cost you about $70-$100 each, and figure about 1 hr labout to install (each). You will Require a wheel allignment after this is done ($60). The wheel bearings is different. If you have ABS brakes and / or traction control, they can cost over $300 each. if not, they should be less than half that. Again, about 1 – 1 1/2 hours to install (each)
Total cost (worst case , about $1000)
best case maybe $600
WHEEL BEARINGS can range from 10.00- 25-00 a piece on old Chev’s and fords Nissan has front wheel drive trans axles are a lot higher. two to four hundred more likely depends on how many you change. thank god that there only two . i think that the tie rods are in part of the hydraulic . there one piece item . 300.00 for the piece ABS system makes wheels feel different when braking , like it shakes a little
