    Hi everyone, I have an 06 Xterra I was having spongy pedal and NO CODES,NO LEAKS, brakes rotors and hub assembly done a year ago, so I decided to put a new master in because that was the most likely problem since the vacuum is good and the booster stays hard when bleeding,I also replaced a bad...

    Hi yes I got up under the steering column and saw (felt) where the plastic part broke and fell out that the brake light sensor would hit, and replaced with a slot-head screw (slot domed head toward solenoid) and nut.

    Recently got myself an 01 Xterra se. Has the 3.3l v6 with 4wd. Bought it with tons of new parts including brake booster master cylinder and only pads. When I hit the brakes they make a hissing noise. Only at a medium pressure. If I hit it lightly it doesn't do it and if I push them down hard it...

    Hello all! First post here, thank you for having me. I am a noob mechanic, and was working on replacing my front shocks on my '04 Xterra. The top nut was rusted and stripped from the previous owner trying to do it himself I am guessing. I ended up cutting it out, and cut my ABS line in the...

    Just had to replace a few of the metal brake lines on my 08. I bleed the air out, or so I thought. Brake pedal is still soft but now the clutch pedal loses pressure and goes to floor when I pump the brakes. Have to pull it back up. Does good for a few pumps then loses pressure again and have to...

    So I needed brakes all around on my 2012 Nissan Xterra. The day before I go to do the brakes the right rear caliper explodes. Apparently the left side wasn't really doing any of the breaking and the right side was doing everything. Replaced the brakes all the way around replaced the two rear...

    Starting this past weekend when I apply the brakes firmly I'm getting a pulsation and vibration in the truck especially as I come to a complete stop. After coming to a complete stop the truck will vibrate briefly on acceleration. I changed out of the rotors, calipers and pads around...

    Like the title says my brakes are pooched. I was at a remote location with the '02 SC and my brakes died within a couple days. It started with the park brake light staying on one morning. Didn't think too much of it since it was wet and froze hard within a few hours. It appears it was minor...

    Hello everyone, I got my dream Xterra in January and it's been great. 2000, SE, 137k miles. Everything has been perfect. There have just been a couple things I've been getting used to. Even before I drove it off the lot, the ABS light popped on but turned back off. About 40% of the time it will...

  17. FAQ/Common Questions
    Twice in the past 2 weeks when I have hit my brakes, there was no braking. The brake pedal just went down (I didn't push it all the way to the floor but pretty close), and my 2009 Xterra kept going on its happy way - fortunately no one was in front of me. When I hit the brake pedal a second...

    Just did a full front brake replacement on my 2004 X. Replaced the pads, rotors, caliper pins, repacked the bearings, etc. Even swapped out the shocks while I was in there. Everything went just fine until I drove it. I'm now getting a knock when I apply the brakes. it's really hard to tell...

    About to open a can of worms here, I suppose.... 2000 SE 4-speed auto 4x4 ~140k mi, sat for awhile so the brakes are so-so, gonna be changed. It's time for a tune-up, and I suspect I need to change my timing belt; a new radiator was put in just before I bought the vehicle (at ~115k mi) and it...

    I have a 2002 4WD Xterra with about 130k on it. First, the ABS light has been on for about 8 years - faulty sensor - but never really had any brake problems. On occasion - probably about 10% of the time - I'll start up the X, and start driving slowly like in a parking lot or in my...
