Hey guys ihave a nasty wheel hum in the rear passenger side, the tires all visually check out, and have been rotated nothing solves my problem my last culprit i can think of is the bearing & hub. Anyone know of a good brand of bearing and hub if i can get them together possibly so i dont have to get them pressed in and out, and how i would go about changing these bearings. Thanks

AFAIK, you can't buy the bearing separate anyway. CHeck around online, but be sure to check rockauto too.

I might have a couple brand new hubs I bought and didn't need if your interested.

Is it as much of a ***** to replace them like the fronts are? Im looking to do the labor, i dont have 4-5 hundred to spend on labor

ACee

Not sure if its the right part no. For 4th gen. If you can check the part number, then they might work.

Part number I got. Again, not sure if right part no. As I bought these thinking they would fit 5th gen, but I needed the ones with the abs sprocket and these do not have the abs sprocket.

Is it hard to do them?

ACee

Nope. Very easy. Just check to make sure you don't need to replace that spindle nut too. If you do, then you need one of those too.

So how would i replace them ive never done bearings

ACee

You replace the entire hub. Car on jackstands. Remove wheel. Remove brake. Remove spindle nut. Remove rotor. Remove wheel hub with bearing. Reverse to put back together.

I am pretty sure there is info on you tube if you want to see it done. If you were in tn I would help you out.

Agreed ... Not a bad job at all.

If you totally take your time and move at a fairly leisurely pace you can get them both done in a half a Saturday.

I need to do this too. So, the rear hubs come with bearings in them? Unlike the fronts which must be pressed in?

ACee

Yup. I bought mine that way.

am i better off aftermarket or oem i want the cheapest way, and i dont want to go through nissan parts. I am doing the labor myself just need the parts... any sugestions

Might want to inspect the splash shields too, if they are rotted through then replace them at the same time.... I had rotted shields which eventually allowed salt/water to damage the bearings, ended up replacing both...

ACee

I went aftermarket.

In all honesty, I think if you spend some time doing some research your gonna find that the parts you pay a premium for at the dealer parts counter are manufactured by the same entities that manufacture the parts store items. There may be some specification differences, but not much.

I typically have no issue purchasing an aftermarket item but paying attention to the warranty included ... LLT is a good thing.
