Ok my 2003 350z is starting to make a rumbling noise on the front passenger wheel. I took it to a mechanic and he said it wasn't the brakes or rotar. I replaced the brake pads. And the noise still continues. The mechanic said it might be bad tire wear. What do you guyz think?

Can you describe the noise better. Perhaps also include when it occurs?

low power steering fluid will make an interesting grinding/rumbling noise.

Well I hope it is just bad tire wear. Anybody have any advice on what I should do next if its not the tire.

going to get my shocks looked at and my car is still under warranty at the Nissan Dealership, so I will take it to see if there is any problems on the suspension.

In an automobile, ball joints are spherical bearings that connect the control arms to the steering knuckles. More specifically, a ball joint is a steel bearing stud and socket enclosed in a steel casing. Ball joints are the pivot between the wheels and the suspension of an automobile. Ball joints play a critical role in the safe operation of an automobile's steering and suspension...i actually looked this up just for you...yes tires have "bearings."
