06 M45 Rear wheel bearing woes - Timken part numbers off

06 M45 sport
04/05 production date

For M45 owners who have replaced their bearings, what part numbers were the parts you used?

The recommendation according to the forum and also prior experience says that Timken would be the way to go aside from OEM when looking for bearings.
Maybe I shouldn't have gone by their website, but the part number I got from their site (then I bought from ebay) turned out to not fit.

The Infiniti parts websites, Rockauto and even Moog have me spinning my head on what the right one should be... even plugging in the VIN doesn't give me the confidence in buying an OEM one online.

I wanted to go to the 08 parts, but I don't want to end up with the wrong parts again.

OEM part numbers first









Then the Timken numbers

Why not just buy the Timken off of Rockauto.com?

I honestly saw for my 07 a part number of #43202-JK00A, that didn't work? hmm

That's what I'm trying to figure out. By online search, my car should take the EH00A, but the subsequent cars should take JK00A.
If someone with an 06 has used your part number successfully, it saves me time and restocking fees.

I got them cheap on ebay, they usually send me discount offers.

I'll soon be able to figure out if the new part number will work for my car.

I got some new-new part # OEM ones for a reasonable price and will try them on the 06 axles. IF for some reason they don't work, no sweat. I'll save them to install on the 08 when doing the Akebono BBK swap.

In case the pictures ever disappear,
I ordered 43202-4GA0B from eBay. These superseded 43202-JK00A although by VIN my 06 is supposed to take 43202-EH00A.

It's a done deal. I got and installed the bearings last night.

The 43202-4GA0B bearings work on my car despite being wrong per the online catalogs.
I got them even cheaper than Timken ones would be, so it was a simple decision for me. I'll be buying them again.
