I need to find the dust caps for a 90 Maxima SE or at least what the size of it is so I might be able to cross reference it.

In case you don't know what I am looking for, it is the thing this guy is trying to pry off:

 

good luck, might have to fashion one out of a red bull can.

 

I have one....

 

Do you really need these. I bought some new rims recently and noticed that i was missing one.. Do i need to get one or is it not a real big deal

 

The cap prevents dirt from getting into the rear wheel bearings...I wouldn't go without them....

 

I need two. I was thinking of just going to the Nissan Dealership to find some.

Pepboys had some but I was not sure if any of them were the right ones...so does anyone have any idea what size we need?

 

thanks for mentioning, I better start looking for them since I dont have a single one lol

I was also wondering cuz I took my g/f wheel off yesterday and noticed she has that cap and mine doesnt so I was gonna ask about it but someone beat me.

im guessing its a good idea to grease them because at my work we grease the bearings on our vehicles and trailers A LOT... and just wondering if its in one of the
###,### mile check-up / tune-up or something i havent looked into it or anything just askin

 

bla I'm going to JY tomorrow (half off ) so screw that I can prob get it for like 50 cents. Thanks though very helpful!

 

Just found out only the rear tires need them! The front axels have seals in the bearings so caps are not needed and never came with the Maxima.

 

thanks I also noticed last night that my rear wheels have em too and so do my g/fs rear only, how accurate is your theory if its a theory?

 

Aren't the dust caps the same size for each year?

 

there are different shaped dust caps on different years/generations. some of them are shorter than others and will clear more wheels on the inside.

you should have at least some grease in them, which helps keep any moisture out of the wheel bearing. water won't touch the metal if its covered in grease..

and no, you do not have dust caps on the front. only the rear.

 

you mean put put some grease in the dust cap?? on the 30mm nut too??
