Thread: Wheel bearings bad AGAIN!

So today I found out that now my passenger side bearing is really bad. This 2 weeks after the drivers side went out. WTF is going on..... I know they are both original... mind you the car has 150K on it... but all of a sudden. Not only is it $80ea for the bearing but another $50 to have it pressed in... and god forbid if the spindle is bad... Shit. I can't seem to save ANY money with this 11 year old car. And why in the HELLLL are the whole knuckle's like 300 buck?

I paid $55 from Napa for bearings and grease. Hopefully the hub is ok and can be re-used.

I had to replace my hub when I did the bearing.

should be able to go to a junkyard and find knuckles cheaper than that. also, harbor freight sells presses. buy one and u can press your own bearings in forever.

I don't know if I want to go aftermarket for wheel bearings tho...I mean I havn't heard any bad stories... that's just me.

Did you go used hub's?



I didn't know that... I might have to look into that actually. Does it come with the dye's to press?

I bought a new OEM Nissan hub and used a new Napa wheel bearing. My old hub was scored to all hell and my bearing was broke in four pieces.

Remember the cost?

I paid $69.92 for the Napa bearing, inner oil seal and grease.

I paid $55 for a New OEM Nissan hub.

a car with so much miles I always tell my customers best to go wit a new hub. The knuckle rearly goes bad but to check it try to put the hub in a new bearing before installing it. If it goes in with the force of you pushing it in then you know the hub is bad. Try stay away from bca bearings. spend the extra 40 and go to the dealer. Ive tried both and the dealer one is still in the napa one and to be changed after 10k miles

Advanced Auto! Got my bearings for $28 a piece!

yeah u gotta cut the dust shield off and use a big socket but takes no time to press em in
