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.

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????

      Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
