Toon Chris Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Yes again I find myself having to replace front wheel bearings. I can't tell if the spacers on the car have made this more frequent than normal but even if they have it is worth it for the improved look Cheapest OEM are near £200 so I wondered if anyone has tried two other common brands? SNR @ £80 which is silly cheap - but if they fit and last 50K its enough. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SNR-Wheel-Bearing-Kit-Nissan-350-Z-3-5-2002-On-/360929984326?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3A350+Z&hash=item54091a7f46 Febest @ £150 more expensive but any better? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/0282-V35MF-FRONT-WHEEL-HUB-INFINITY-G35-V35-NISSAN-SKYLINE-OEM-40202-AL500-/121392833999?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3A350+Z&hash=item1c4393a5cf Quote
Toon Chris Posted July 28, 2014 Author Posted July 28, 2014 And this one looks to be genuine OEM? http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts_info.asp?id=7775&cat=87⊂=120&sec=0&var=0&dc=&gen=&searchKey= If anyone can confirm the part number 40202-AL510 40202-AL56C is correct it looks like a bargain.

ZMANALEX Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Chris, Your link to the SNR is not showing as £80.00. If you buy an SNR boxed item, you will more than likely find that it is an NTN item in a SNR box which is OEM equipment. Alex. Quote
Jez @ H-Dev Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 SNR and NTN are part of the same group anyway: http://www.ntn-snr.com/portal/fr/en-en/index.cfm Quote

Ah, I got the prices the wrong way around, its the Fabest that's the cheap one. So SNR looks good, thanks Alex Quote
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Chris we keep genuine bearings in stock and I can match that price for the SNR one The Febest one is Chinese made and not the same quality. 1 Quote

4RE Leather Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Think I'm going to remove my spacers Why??????? Quote
nissanman312 Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Just thinking of the poor wheel bearings Quote
The Seasider Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 It used to be conventional wisdom to replace bearings in pairs - is this still the same? I've got a noisy bearing at the moment but can't work out where the noise is coming from! It doesn't worsen when turning either way but does get louder at speed - does that point to the rear? Quote

I did one 2 yes ago and no probs with the other side. Quote
