I have a question I have a 1999 Nissan Maxima gle and I need a driver's side steering knuckle this item is discontinued so will a 2004 Nissan Maxima steering knuckle fit mine because they look the same can someone help with this please!

 

If you’ve researched adequately to establish that the ‘99 part is NLA, then researching part number interchangeability should be a breeze.

 

A 99 GLE most likely has ABS. That's all one needs to know on a 99 part that's discontinued. You and I know where to source one. But since this post didn't bother to even populate their location I'll apply the same effort.

 

No it does not have ABS

 

It doesn’t appear the part is discontinued anyway …

Nissan Parts Deal says this:

 

Sir could you please send me that link because one of those Nissan part stores that I have been looking up says that it is

 

Unfortunately, I've ordered parts there that they say are available when nobody else has them and then got an email the next day saying they are discontinued. And even still are listed as AVAILABLE. OUCH!

Only one way to find out...

But that's stupid money. And don't forget to order the new ABS sensor and bolt too, cause they ain't coming out of the old one in one piece after 24 years. And the Bearings, snap retainer rings, seals and hopefully the Hub can be reused... Oh and a 20 ton press too. Then we get into the Ball Joint and outer Tie Rod end.....

Need I go on? LOL

 

Still no location? What? Are you in witness protection or something?

 

I have all that exept for the pusher see that's the problem lol Nissan smh

 

Not worried bout the tie rod I put that on brand new and the lower control arm I just want the spindle knuckle

 

What state are you in?

 

Illinois and I love my car this is my second one my first one was a 92 but this one I love it's very quiet but this I've never had this much problem with just a bearing sheesh I've had plenty of cars and worked on all of them but this smh

 

Used is your only choice really. As long as they are sound, no problem.

 

Yea I will have to go to the junk yard and pull it but the problem with that is the hub and the bearing will most likely be still in the knuckle

 

Just buy the whole shebang from a wrecking yard.
I mean the entire assembly.

I would search for one from a Southern or Western state. A place where road salt isn't used.
Shipping costs should be reasonable.

Replacing the entire unit with a used one will be the quickest and least expensive option.

 

Yea I know I been looking for the whole thing because it would be easier it's so hard to find and some just don't have the thing because it's a 99

 

Junkyards can be found through a national parts search. I recall that LKQ has one.

I would Google USA automobile wrecking yard national parts search.

you should find listings and phone numbers.
call them to make sure the part is from a 99 with your features or options.

Thank you

 

The spindle/ knuckle is solid steel. A junk yard one should be fine. They wouldn’t sell it if it got hit there. Hub and bearing will definitely be on there. You can get lucky sometimes and the bearing may be tight and smooth with no play. If it is toast you can replace it before you throw them on (it is best practice to do this anyway just depends if you want to be cheap and roll the dice). You can even drop it off at a shop and have them press it in if you don’t want to do it. eBay junkyards you can find a spindle/ knuckle under $100 shipped.

 

Thank you
