Has anyone had any good/bad experiences with aftermarket stubs?
The genuine ones are up near $500 and the apparent 'Japanese' made aftermarket ones are less than $200!!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Knuckle Spindle is the one in referring to.

Mudski bought a aftermarket one.
I changed one with a s/h one when I seized the bearing.

Yeah theres a mob on eBay selling Japanese made aftermarket ones. I wanted to buy direct and sell them but was told i had to buy from the aussie distributor so i left it at that.
But im running both sides aftermarket with no issues.
In my opinion, second hand will just be worn out where the inner bearing sits against the seal runner and then you are forever tightening the bearings up.
Smities outback gear i think they are called.

Hi, I installed one last year, bought it on ebay, did 15k, and just today pulled it apart to have a look, well it as good as new, not a mark on them!! I can highly recommend them.

Yeah they are not really a wearing part. I have stripped down a 350,000km front diff and not given the stub axles a second thought! Hence I'd fit a second hand on in a blink.
The Comp guys smash them.

I think getting a good s/h one is the issue. I stripped a diff at a wreckers to find it the same as mine so kinda lost interest in the idea.
Might give the aftermarket ones a try.
Cheers for the input
