Wheel bearing replacement advice

[blinx]

Hi everyone,

Made a long journey over Christmas and I think one of the wheel bearings on my new S15 Spec-S is faulty. Whining/Droning noise whilst driving. I haven't located which wheel it is affected as from inside the car its not clear.

Anyone had experience of sourcing one and installing the replacement?

Thanks, Blinx :wave:

bearing part no for spec-r rear bearing 4310-AA100, not sure whether it is same part no for spec-s.

You need to cross-reference the PN for the Spec S bearing to see if its the same as the Spec R and S14 If its the same, get it from Nissan. If you can wait a week or two, get it half price from Perfectrun :thumbs:

Hello fellow S15 owners!

After checking the wheels on the front of the vehicle there is play on the nearside wheel assembly (left or right hand side?). This indicates a wheel bearing problem and needs to be replaced.

Before I go ahead and order one can you check the attached diagram below and confirm the part number that I need.

Those who have access and can use FAST can you do a double check for me and if it matches an S14(a) one?

Many thanks in advance,

Blinx :thumbs:

There are three different part numbers for the S14/a. Luckily, the latest one is the same (09/1998 onwards)

40200-5L310
HUB ASSY-ROAD WHEEL FRONT RH

Don't worry about the RH bit. It lists two per vehicle, so they've got to be the same both sides

Thanks Nicely,

So if I need to get Nissan to do it here in the UK I need to quote the following?

40200-5L310
HUB ASSY-ROAD WHEEL FRONT RH

When I looked at FAST I thought it was the HUB Assembly 40202. So is then bearing part of the diagram 40015(LH)?

Not quite clear and would welcome clarification before I contact Perfectrun or go via Nissan UK. The noise is increasing.

Thanks,

Blinx

Doh, that is the Part Code and not the Part No

Can I use this Part No for Nissan UK?

:nod: Its the same.

An update on the wheel bearing scenario:

Had the Front N/S part fitted today supplied by Nissan GB. ?141 for the part and it only took a really good local auto engineer firm 45 minutes from start to finish.

They noted that the Front O/S wheel bearing is going as well. That's typical! However, for a car that's only done 50K it is surprising. They also noted that the grease/dust caps of both front hub assemblies were missing which would suggest previous work has been done. The grease/dust caps are on order.

The great thing is I have a spare front wheel assembly that I ordered from Perfectrun. Same part from them only ?100 including shipping from Japan.

So the car is booked in to have the other one done.

Will take a picture of the wheel bearing hub assembly and post it up for you guys to see. Its quite a piece of hardware.
