Hey guys, im in need of some help. i am in the process of replacing my passenger side front wheel bearing on my 97 q45. Im in search of the correct wheel bearing and info as of why my wheel bearing is different than everything I've been finding on the interweb. O'rileys, autozone, rockauto, etc. are all showing me the bearing below.(SCROLL DOWN)

But the bearing that i removed looks like this.

So does anybody know why it is different and where i can find i absolute correct bearing i need?

This is my first post on this forum i apologize if anything is hard to understand. I will reply to every question and or answer.

Thank you, Shaine. :)

:welcome: to NICO! I honestly have no idea... Is the image just the two parts together? Did the bearing you removed have a part number stamped on it?

This is from the parts book, is it possible that you removed a different bearing? I didn't think any semi-modern Nissans used tapered wheel bearings like that (only seen them on old vehicles and trailers, most the time those are greasable versus new ones that are sealed).

Are you the original owner of the car? If not maybe the original owner put those in as replacements....

What symptoms were you having that pointed you in the direction of the wheel bearing?
