What a bad wheel hub looks like
I took some pictures a couple weeks ago when I was redoing my passenger side wheel knuckle. I knew the bearing had gone bad, but I didn't know how bad... when I went to take off the wheel, the wheel hub ended up coming off with it.

Here's what happens when you let a bad wheel bearing go bad for too long:


As you can see half of the wheel hub race is pitted/worn down, this is the bad bearing spinning around on the hub race.




Brand new wheel hub.

Yeah, thank god for axle nuts :P

Also I should mention (more like needless to say) that if your wheel hub ends up looking like that, you're going to have to replace it with a new one.

And also I believe that part is dealer only. I have had no luck with parts places.

Copped mine on a seller on ebay. Other than that I think you're right... as time goes by, finding these Sentra/200sx front hubs in the future is going to get harder and harder.

I have been told 1.6L models have the same hub. Junk yard raiding time!

That hub is for my DD, a 1.6 200sx


Tricked, not sure on the mileage as it was a junkyard wheel knuckle. I will blame my f'd up alignment for that one.

hi i dont go on the forum often but my tire yesterday was bent inward like if it was collapsed and well made hell noise and when i got home the rotor was smoking cuz of the angle of the tire that it rubbed against the caliper brace and destroyed it. So i took of the tire and noticed that the hub was like loose or something and well now im going to pick n pull today.......so the hubs from the 200sx 1.6 are the same as the ones for the 91 se-r? thats my question.
