Patrolapart use only genuine in ours pretty sure mate.
Cheers MB,...yeah none in stock on website,nissan here quoted 328..patrolapart is 120 or NSK's for 70 ea.....mate at nissan reckon the NSK are quality,might not worry about oem'sQuote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

yeah nah....small town...i believe them...not shit i can ring up and ask anything,will be told to go eslsewhere n shit if they cant do it at a reasonable price..Quote:

King Pin Bearings #30304

I got mines for less than $150.
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...Quote:
