BlueBob, I was checking out the VQ Power.com page you have listed. There is a wealth of info in there.

BlueBOB · Nov 7th, 2003, 08:29 AM

yes there is... the site owner is a guy in houston... he's now apart of our Houston chapter HNE. their forum is below ours (DNE). there are a few others... i've rarely ventured to any of the other sections much on the ORG, but the 4th gen FAQ's have a few links that have an incredible amount of info... crazy

I haven`t experienced any shaking problem. The Goodyear Eagles are smooth; much smoother than the Bridgestone Tourenzas` that came on the Altima that I had previously.

I only have about 5,500 miles on her so far.

Since you work at the plant I thought you may have a inside insight. I have a shimmy around 55mph - 65mph. Have had a Road Force Var. Balance on the car which helped but still there. Have a Driver's front rotor that is out of round vertical more than the pass. side. Could that cause my problem? I live in Bowling Green, KY not to far from the plant. I would be more than happy to bring this car to the plant for a look. Took it to the dealer twice and still have same problem so I raised it up and took a look for my self. This is my third Maxima. Had 01ae and 99se before my 04se. Any help would be great.

HELP!!!! My 04 Max has less than 2500 miles on it and has been in the shop twice. It has pulled left and had a shimmy from 45mph and up since day one. First trip produced zero results. 2nd trip didn't fix the shimmy and now the car pulls right. They've balanced the tires, rotated the tires and supposedly alligned the car. They are telling me it has to do with the tires. Sounds like a load of bs to me. Any ideas? My 01 Max never had these issues.

I have to say if I was in the market for a car there would be no question what it would be.If you haven't driven one give yourself a treat and go now.

I am doing some research, can you help me? I would like to know the pay difference between a production associate and a production teamleader at the Smyrna, TN plant? Thanks for your help. Brad
