Stagea Wheel Bearing

[ydawak]

Hello All,

Some of you may have read my topic about suspension woes here --> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Su...da-t309179.html

In it i was mentioning about the rear passenger wheel bearing being knackered... I took it to Tas Driveline and they were able to fix it for me, however there was something interesting that i found out in the process...

The Manual and Automatic Stagea have 2 Different rear wheel bearings...

Sorry but i dont have a pic, All i can say is that the manual one has a form of spacer on top of the bearing with a 17mm bolt hole through it that acts as part of the mount. It is a hub assembly (like the auto) but without that spacer on top the auto bearing wont fit in the Manual Stagea rear end...

So There you have it.... if you didnt know...

That excersice cost $370 for the bearing + labour....

That's right, the manual and 206RS and some factory optioned LSD auto's (my auto did) have stronger drive shafts which means the larger hub bearings that you mentioned. They should be the same as R33 GTR.

Standard auto's should be the same as R33 GTST.

You can tell by looking at the half shafts out of the diff centre

The heavier ones (GTR) have 6x1 bolt pattern

The lighter (GTST size) has 3x2 bolt pattern

6x1 or 5x1?

6x1 or 5x1?

Just checked, 6x1 is correct

Also pretty sure the auto (ie 50mm wider cradle) will have longer driveshafts or maybe longer half shafts

Will measure them tomorrow to confirm

that sucks....but yuo can probably sell the wrong bearings on here

Its all good Duncan.. I dont have that 2nd bearing... She'll be right... Now i got to address the rest of the issues... It did take out the wobble in the steering now though..

Great info... i will have a look into the part number for the bearing for my rear bearing aswell....

I did want to just say this.... I took the car to Ron's Automotive, Ronnie had a look at it for me (For a carton of our local finest) and found something quite interesting....

The front tyres were ROOOOOOTED... Out of round/out of everything, they may aswell have been made out of clag glue and paddlepop sticks... he checked all the links and mounts and found that they were "2nd hand" but definately not in bad condition. He said that with new front tyres and a wheel allignment that the thing would be fixed... So, Off to Jaxx i went... 2 new Pirellis and Bob's your uncle.... Fixedaroony... Top Bloke Ron...

So there you have it... Pedders Suspension test was going to cost me $3k to fix everything. And what it actually cost was,

Wheelbearing and new tyres and wheel allignment..

*note to self - that was a carton well spent...

hi all

you guys are a wealth of information

has anyone found a generic supplier for the RS Four S (factory manual) rear wheel bearings?

from my searches, looks like i need the one with the little tab and bolt hole (same as R33 GTR?)

Just Jap have them for $350 ( http://justjap.com/s...&cat=375&page=1 )

how much labour should i expect to replace?

can i just get the bearing pressed out (and get new hub seals), or do i need that whole assembly?

thanks all

EDIT - anyone used allied bearings? http://www.alliedbearings.com.au/datasheets/nissan/wheel-bearing-kits#vehicle_make_1372

Anyone know if the old bearings can be pressed out and replaced with new? Or do you have to buy the whole assembly?
