Wheel Bearing $$$$$

[LSX-438]

Recently i had my R35 in with Nissan for a warranty issue - they treated me quite well, considering i never serviced the car there. Anyway I asked how much for a single wheel bearing. Answer = $1000 (part price, no labour).

Now off to courtesy parts, and they have quoted me $165 (for both left and right)!!

Unfortunately i have to pay $230US shipping, but who cares given these price differences.

Maybe the local Nissan guy has given me the wrong price, tempted to check because $1000 vs $82.50 ($165/2) would be bordering on criminal.

Carbon tax?

They have a nasty habit of not supplying just the bearing, but making you buy an assembly as well. Just like some of the suspension arms.

AFAIK, you cannot buy just the bearing. These prices are for the entire hub assembly.

I would be going to cbc bearings before you go and pay $230us for shipping.. They usually stock that sort of gear or can get it next day for you.

too late, courtesy part have sent a pair of hubs. i've swapped out the hubs a couple of times (fitting longer wheel studs) so i can do it myself (quickly and when it suits me) a least.

Yes it's the whole hub assembly. I got mine from the US and they were that price. Nissan Aus is a joke.

Quick question: did your assembly come with wheel studs?

[g35me]

Yes
