Front Hub and Bearing combo PNM35 AWD

[PNM35]

Hi folks, I recently replaced my rear bearings with OEM, and for hubs I went with GSP. I can't find the front hubs (OEM 40202-24U00) anywhere as an aftermarket option, and as the OEM are pretty expensive ($490ea) I am still looking.

Does anyone know if something like the Infinity G35x front hubs or the hub and bearing pre-pressed are a match? From what I have seen with parts like this on Rock Auto the parts may be compatible. Just hoping someone has fitted these or any other replacement hub and bearing combination? Or are the rear hubs the same spec?

G35x should be a match.
Not sure if the 2008+ items will be a direct fit as they might need the front axles also - much like when upgrading to 370z rear bearings, but the 2004+ should since they are the same chassis as our PNM35 Stagea.

For what it's worth, I used replacement bearings from JustJap last year which need to be pressed onto the hub.

OK well I might narrow my search a bit then based on that. So your bearings from JustJap, did you use the existing hubs and press the old bearings out? Front ones I assume.

I have my own bearing press, a small 12t one and I pressed my own new bearings and hubs for the rear, pretty easy but as they were new parts they weren't rusty like the ones I removed.

I saw a Z1 370 rear upgrade kit, on my list for future upgrade.

I didn't personally do my front ones as I don't have a press, so I can't tell you.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if they disintegrated on the hub when removed but this might help

 

Regarding the rears, Rockauto will deliver from the US warehouse to AUS in about a week.
370z Timken hub assemblies and Trakmotive axles come highly recommended and will set you back around AUD900 delivered which I thought was better than $700 for a set of used (100,000kms) OEM options.
