Ok, have a question I'll put up here because so far the Nissan forum has been totally useless for tech info lol, and I'm completely baffled on it now.
My wife's 2000 Maxima SE has been making a grinding sound from the front right. Only happens every once in a while, can't really reproduce it on demand. Thought it was a dragging caliper from the sound, but it's fine. Checked the wheel bearing, there's no play, doesn't make different noise as the car turns or anything. Now I'm thinking more along the lines of a CV joint, but the boot looks fine other than seeping a little bit of grease out the clamped-closed end. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT

If you think it is the axle turn your vehicle as hard as you can in one direction and go forward, then keep the wheel locked and go backwards. If you hear a clicking sound it is your axle. Do it for both left and right. It is possible theat the boot is fine but the internals are shot.
