My car is maxima 08 and rolled 160k so far. Changed front wheel bearing with hub last year and drove around 10k or so since. However recently i suspect they are going bad ( purchased from amazon Durgo brand, no wonder they are grinding now ) as the noise it makes at high way speed and wear down my tire unevenly forced me to get new tires, severe shaking at speed over 60 mph. Changing tire helped with the pulsation but noise and howling is getting worse at high way speed. Now i dont want to make same mistake hence buying quality parts and found my best bet is either Timken , national , bca ( i believe they are NTN and nissan original replacement is same bearing ), Also SKF or NSK won't fail prematurely . As i going through the info in rock auto, it always shows these following bearings don't have abs signaling.
TIMKEN, BCA, SKF, NSK . Only national which has same model name as Timken state in the info that they might have abs when applicable. So now im really puzzled as i wanted to buy timken or bca i cant be sure if i will end up with abs malfunction or complete absence of ABS assist in braking which is of course a dire safety issue. But then again why they would say it is compatible with my vehicle 2008 maxima if they never have abs signaling in bearing ?
Please can someone help me to choose the right bearing and confirm no issue with abs would arise. Thank you in advance.

says no abs

same says no abs

 

Timken has a good reputation.

I slapped these in last winter and have no issues - https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...zodBX5Eg%3D%3D

 

Aww thanks. ordering right away....

 

I have Timken Part# 510060 front wheel bearings in my 2007 Maxima. They are excellent. The front wheel bearings on 2000-2008 Maximas (Press in) do not have ABS sensors built into the bearing assembly . Nissan used a separate sensor rotor that is mounted to the axle directly behind the knuckle assembly. The good news with no internal sensor you cant install them backwards.

 

Thanks a million to clarify . I have the timken pair delivered 2 days ago. Ordered Dorman hub assembly. Waiting for bearing snap rings ( I believe need 4 of them ) and new axle nuts. Will put them on once all parts arrived

 

Great bearings. Timken has a new manufacturing facility in Mexico. If your bearings say made in Mexico you have the newest bearings from Timken made in the newest state of the art facility. Having the right tools are key. A shop press (I have a 12 ton press on wheels ) a Bearing Race and Seal Bushing Driver Install Set,
You need a damn good set of strong steel picks and some strong thin pry tools and locking pliers to yank them out in order to remove the old snap rings from the knuckle, they will surely be frozen in place from corrosion.
You wont be snapping them out, you will be wrestling them out if you have winter salted roads in your area.
A time consuming job done by yourself while acquiring the tools to do so all for cheaper then it costs to have someone do them for you just one time.

 

Thanks a lot for the details guideline. I happen to have this guy did it for me, although surely i could do it myself, but the weather turned bad here and i dont own a garage hence felt too lazy to do it myself. lol. But yeah, they are great bearing, quite as a mouse
