Looking For R34 Wheel Bearings

[ewhs]

Hi everyone,

Car started making a whirring and clicking noise at low speed. Brought vehicle to a mechanic and he reckons its the wheel bearings but he didnt mention front or rear. I would like to do some homework before getting a quote from him. My car is a 34 25GT sedan (non turbo), are there any differences in the wheel bearings between a GT and GTT? I was told by a mate the model the front bearings are :NTN-4237 or NSK 4574 but hes not sure about the ones in the rear.

Can anyone confirm the correct model number for the wheel bearings? Also where can i buy them and how much will they cost?

Thank you

I too have an N/A R34 sedan. I'm looking for new wheel bearings all round and I'm getting some slight hum while driving. (I'm just a fussy owner).

Hi my r34 is white as well =) At what speed do you hear this noise? The sound is loudest when the car is rolling in 1st gear but disappears when i accelerate ( prbably due to road noise) but its quite irritaiting especially when im stuck in traffic. I am trying to identify if the noise is coming from the front or rear. Was told the rear bearings are very expensive but no luck finding the part code so far. Do you have any luck finding bearings so far? Lets exchange info =)

Generally wheel bearing noise gets worse as speed increases, if it goes away when you accelerate I doubt it would be your wheel bearings. Also try driving the car from side to side to try and pin point which side it is coming from.

Most noticable when cruising/coasting anything over 60km/h+ most noisy from 80km/h to 100km/h

I might need to change my bushes too.

On my way home, i drove at 80km/h and the whirring noise is still there although its drowned out by road/ tire noise etc. As mentioned earlier,it is most noticable when i engage in D let the car roll and noise seem to be coming from the rear wheels. It shouldnt be from tires since the car is going like 5km/h. Dont think its HICAS related since my car doesnt come equipped with it

Tried driving side to side but couldnt find notice anything extraordinary but weeks prior the car made groaning noises when i turned left into my drive way. Wondering if its related
