Hi there from N Georgia, just joined this forum.

Hello,

We have had our 2003 FX35 since 2004 when we bought it new on sale as a previous years model. It is white and as the gray suede look seats which I prefer to the leather.

I am a Brit now living in Rocky Face N Georgia and I was wondering if there are any other members on here who are close by.

Our other car is a 2003 Retro bird in Black. I drive the bird most of the time whilst my wife prefers the FX because she is sat higher up and can see a lot more from the windows.

We are having our first major problem with the FX right now which I will go into more detail later on in the right thread but it is an awful whining noise coming from the front wheels. I think it might be bearings but it's going into the dealers this evening so hopefully, they will find the cause of the noise.

Well, hello to everyone and I'm looking forward to being a part of this Infiniti forum.

All the best, Gordon.:tup:
 
Welcome to the Scene! Sounds like the hub bearing alright but other members here should give you more insight and the dealer will give you the diagnosis.
 
Welcome to the forum! Haven't had issue with the front suspension so I'll defer to someone else to weigh in. Good luck with the issue, I bet another member will have some helpful input. So is Georgia pretty much the same as Great Britain?
 
Thanks for the welcomes ya'll.

Well, they both begin with the letter G but apart from that, quite different. Although Britain is small in area there is a wide variety of landscape and also climate. I moved here from the west coast of Scotland so yes, it is a lot different.

Apart from family and friends, I mainly miss the ocean, pubs and old buildings, probably in that order.

I do like the climate here and although we are about 350 miles from the ocean, it is warm enough to have a pool which makes up for it partly, ha,ha...

welcome to the scene . n yea its sounds like your hub bearings ive gone bad . havent had the issue yet but its pretty common . the dealer should get it fixed in no time . :iS:
 
Not being a mechanic I'm guessing it is the bearings going. I'm up to 54,00 miles so it could be. About 6 months back I replaced the original tires with Yokohama Avids and A guy at the local Nissan dealer blamed the noise on these tires. Apparently, these tires are supposed to be less noisy than the original ones.

If it is the hub bearings I'm wondering if that would be covered under the extended warranty I bought?

Gordon.
 
I have the Yokohama Avids currently, definitely NOT the tires. You have to love some of the dealership diagnosis.....Sooo, how is the Haggis in Georgia?

Well, apparently the Haggis is native only to certain mountainous areas in Scotland. They have possums here which are similar but not as Scottish.

Gordon.:ever:

p.s. When I first moved from England to Scotland, our new neighbour told me the story of how to catch the local Haggis. Apparently, the Haggis has four legs but the two right ones are slightly longer than the two left. This is because they are stupid and spend a lot of time running around the slopes of the hills in an anti-clockwise direction. The trick is to jump out from behind a tree or rock and surprise them into turning around and running the opposite way. Of course at this point, the shorter legs are on the wrong side so they fall over and that's when they can be captured to be hung in the local butcher's shop. I didn't really believe this story to be honest. Nowadays, most of the Haggis go straight to the supermarkets after being caught....

The Haggis story just made my morning. I've also heard that their legs are shorter on one side because where they live, the hills are on the left and the cliffs are on the right. Hence, there are two variations of Haggis; The ones with short left legs and the ones who can swim really well. The former being much easier to catch for the reason you mentioned.

Wait a minute TC.....are you combining the great North American "hill cow" with the off shoot genetic variation of haggis?
 
Haggis is pretty tasty though if you are lucky enough to capture one. Don't know why there are no Haggis Farms where they could be bred and pumped full of hormones like most of the livestock nowadays...

Not keen on the 'neeps' that traditionally are the accompanying side dish.
