My passenger rear wheel bearing has taken a dump and i need to know every part needed to do a replacement with. I found this http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sh...ssan/350z.html third one down. "rear wheel module" it seems like it would have everything needed. But i just wanted to make sure there wasn't a little seal or something that has to be replaced too.

any thoughts

Thank You

Dust Shield, Wheel bearing and cotter pin. I think thats all thats needed.

 

Wow!! You must auto cross or something!! I think this is the first i've heard of a wheel bearing going. I've had cars with over 200,000 miles and never had a sealed wheel bearing go!

I hope this isn't gonna be an '03 thing!!

 

i order the bearing today. Do i need a press?

 

the front bearings are bolt on, the rear bearings will need to be pressed.

 

damn i had a feeling. I can't believe they don't sell full hubs for the rear. they only sell full front hubs. I'd rather spend the extra 100bucks to get new everything but i guess i'll have to settle for just a fresh bearing.

 

Damnit, that figures.


My passenger rear bearing crapped out on me yesterday.

 

Replace the hub with the bearing. Future problems to come if you don't.

 

clarification?

 

sorry this is off-topic. but, how do you diagnose if a wheel bearing has worn out or failed?

 

It'll make a sound that won't disappear when applying the brakes and/or you can jiggle the wheel when you lift the vehicle.


In my case, it made a sound that disappeared overnight, but when I lifted the rear, I could jiggle the passenger rear wheel, but my driver's rear was solid.

I also inspected my rotors, calipers, pads, and bushings. All of which were sound.

 

You can buy bolt in rear wheel bearing assemblies. I can get you one for $85 shipped thru my supplier worldpac. I was trying to copy and paste the pic but i cant. It bolts in for sure though.

 

One of my wheel bearings failed at c. 104,000 miles. Made a bad noise on the freeway.
