Wheel Bearings And Ball Joints

[SargeRX8]

After having my brakes fixed I went to get my car checked out. Following past symptoms, the mechanic told me my left ball joints and bearings are f**ked. Ive got my old R33 series 2 still sitting here. I was gonna buy the parts new but I really cant find anywhere that sells them and I'm sure Nissan do charge a fair bit. Everything I find is for a GTR or the 4wd cars.

Could I remove the old wheel hub and ball joint off my old car? Note that I have no idea what any of these parts look like or where they are located, let alone removing the wheel hub. The shop said they could fix it but it would be hard to source the parts..

Cheers.

Probably best to get the shop to do it if you dont have much of an idea.

Most auto parts stores will be able to get the parts, if they say its too hard, they're to lazy

Can I use an ABS hub assembly on my non ABS car? How f**king tight is the bolt holding the LCA. I snapped my breaker pole.

At a guess i'd say so, only difference should be the abs sensor. maybe someone else can confirm.

Got rattle gun? or bigger breaker bar

Woop, all done. Used a 1 meter bar to break the bolts. Swapped over the whole thing from my old car, works perfect. No more jumping wheel and clunking sounds. I'm gonna invest in a rattle gun. Will always come in handy.
