seattlejester Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Howdy folks. Managed to find some 280z stub axles so I plan on cleaning them up and putting them on my spare suspension set to put in the car at a later date. Question is the supplier for the wheel bearings. MSA has the 2 inner and outer wheel bearings for 200$. I don't mind paying to get the right part, but if it is going to be the same stuff I can get from my autoparts store ~100$ I would rather take the savings and go. I've been burned by MSA and Summit before going with the "right part" and finding out it is exactly the same as the budget version. Just trying to find out what people have used to find their bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 The bearing numbers have been posted here before. Shop those numbers on the Internet and Amazon. I used to buy boxes of 10 inners and 10 liters and got them for 75% less the what MSA charged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I use this for the numbers - http://www.showmetheparts.com/timken/ Amazon has them. (2 x 32) + (2 x 17) + (2 x 6) = 110. Autozone too for a little more. Nissan probably has them also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Thanks guys, I was just unsure if there was anything particularly special about the MSA ones, but I'll just search on here for the part number. I found the ones from my local O'reiley, I'll try amazon I always forget I have prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 www.rockauto.com is always good on prices. If you look online you'll find 5% coupons really easy too. Looks like Timken runs about $80 per wheel through RA, they have cheaper too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeZ Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Bought 2 inners on a close out for $5.50 each plus $5.00 shipping from Rock Auto. Delivered from Sugarland, Tx in two days. O'reilly's couldn't get any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 What I've found and plan on ordering, unless the Timken ones give better peace of mind or some such. Precision is the manufacturer Part number I have found: RW116, RW117, 224720 First two being the part numbers and the last being the seal. Total 95 with free shipping through prime. Estimated delivery is unfortunately 2-4 weeks. Hopefully that is not the actual case. Will look for a source for the zx lock nut part number: 43262-S130 I think I'll just call my local nissan dealer and see if they have the nuts, and how much they charge for the wheel bearings. Thanks for the info guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) I was able to get the ZX lock nut from my local Nissan dealer. Totally surprised that Nissan had them. Edited July 11, 2015 by Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tblracing Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Thought I'd add another possible source for rear wheel bearings. I ordered two "rear wheel bearing kits" from Black Dragon ( ) at $70 per side plus shipping. Haven't opend the box yet, which arrived quickly, 'cause there is oh so much to do before getting to the rear of the car. Will do so tomorrow and add pix.

tblracing Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 GIGO on the url for Black Dragon in my last post, sorry. Anyway, here's the pic of the kit they sell for the S30. Cost was around $170 for both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
