1997 Nissan Maxima w/330,000 miles, excellent condition. Had bobbing when turning but no popping like most axles do, pulled into Nissan place and bearings blew out of axle. They replaced and said may cause transmission problems later since blew apart. This is the second replaced axle. Now, while turning hard right and accelerating I feel a slipping feeling I believe may be the transmission, however, shop guy thinks it is the motor mounts as the engine raises more than usual and may cause the slipping feeling. I hate to spend big bucks replacing motor mounts if it is the transmission ...car is only worth about 2000. Thanks for any input.

Most shops will check the mounts for you for free, and replacing the axles will be a normal thing for the amount of miles you have on your car,, ( 2 times) they don't always pop or click when they go bad,, they just GOOOO ,, motor mounts are around 100 bucks,, search prices as they vary a bunch ,, I would suggest you take your car to a transmission shop, and ask them for a normal service,, that way you get the trans serviced, and mention to them about the motor mounts, they will check them for you ,, again shop prices,, I got my trans fluids and filter changed for 39 dollars just last week , and they told me I had a bad muffler mount I was unaware of,, when its up on the rack its so much easier to detect problems,, and this was a cheap way for me to go, and I still got the tarans serviced
