Anybody know a good source for front wheel bearings ?
Only place I found was RockAuto but they want 138.00 per for the Timpkins.
didn't find them at everything Infiniti either.
All the local places only carry the rears. Weird.

Junkyard has been serving me well, they rarely fail thus there is a great supply.

Yoda there is one on Ebay higher $ then rock auto, once you have the hub out any machine shop can press the bearings out and in for around $20.00, my local Napa will do it free if you buy the bearings from them. I have a front hub in the garage from a junk yard car I took the whole strut tower for the springs. Pay the shipping I will send you the hub you can use it on your car while you are having the new bearings pressed or it may work forever. Pictures in the next post

Thanks guys.
I have a car to drive while I refurb the front suspension.
Also have a shop at the ready to press the old out and the new in.
Just looking for the cheapest "New" Bearings.
I'm breaking 300K with original motor/transmission come H&LL or high water !!! :gapteeth:

Gerardjg..
Is the bearing in that hub still good ?
As no sound/vibration when turning ?
If so I only have one that's howling right now.

As it sits on the table it turns smoothly i do not have the axle to bolt it to any more to check it with the correct torque.

I had mine re-packed some years ago.

Mine went prematurely, because the city of Toronto loves putting speed bumps on city streets.
