If your doing them every 40 thou i don't think it will really matter mate. that is a Short cycle imo. Id be happy with double that interval or more and just check the tension. Assuming your doing the front wheel bearing then your doing a Full CV Hub Rebuild too? Seems silly to strip out bearing races etc and not put a seal kit through it too.

Who does your servicing? I bet that is check tension only. Maybe decrease or repack. I'd be surprise if they where replacing at 40k intervals.

arggg dont tell me that..i like my nissan service centre...they have looked after me warrrenty wise on every occasion...

Yeah sorry mate. It will be check tension only and that will literally be check front wheel for wobble as they walk passed it on the hoist. Tick a box for sure.

Hmmm I would ask them to clarify what they are doing to be honest mate. It's reasonable. Changing wheel bearings every 40thou seems like over servicing to me. Plenty of people driving around on 250,000km old bearings.

Also replacing wheel bearings alone would add at least $300 to any service! Probably $400.

You can use generic bearings from NTN, Koyo... all Japan brands.
Front:
King Pin Bearings #30304
Wheel Bearing: Internal # 33110 / External # LM501349 / Retainers: NJ879 and NJ763.

I got mines for less than $150.

[mudski]

NSK, Timken, NTN and Koyo are my choice of bearing brands.

yep patrolapart has NSK for $70 a side....my mate at nissan said OME are roughly 328+gst but he said he'd put NSK in if it was his car...

After we bought the GU 3Ltr td auto i was looking through all the service receipts the original owner had kept and ill be buggered if they weren't slugging him for clutch fluid replace and test on virtually every service , also many other dodgy items at times including hi tension plug leads .
Guy I bought it off had no idea of anything mechanical .

to be honest again...i bought one of them dreaded aftermarket when i bought it.....heard heaps of bad shit about them and all the rest.....my servicer centre has bent over backwrds to point out a few things and replaced them.....fan belt and aircon pulley...and a new exhaust manifold and gaskets of course...they have helped me get my money back and a little more......i do know mechanics but while i have this i have to service it at a qualified machanic....my mate worked here for years and i always used them.......as of march next year we will do our own...have worksghops as i service john deers fendt and kubotas at work as per full workshop manuals...at the moment my hands are teid...but not for to much longer......yeajh i know must be mad...likes he's service centre....but they have never stuffed me around....
