I have a 2005 nissan altima se v6 and my right front wheel is making a grinding noise in the mornings, but as the car warms up it goes away. also when driving at 40-50 mph and i apply the brake my steering wheel shakes a little. could this be my rotor or my bearings ? also does the spindle nut need to be tight or just snug on the front axles of these cars? thanks alot for your help!

Hi there,

i would be checking the brakes & bearing on that side, the axle nut should be done up very tight.
