V35 Coupe Front Bearing Replacement/suspension To Chassis Bush

[ka86]

Hey guys,

Car has been making a noise at the front left for awhile. Suspected wheel bearing.

Don't have the time to change it myself so I went to a place in Slacks Creek.

They had ordered a bearing from Fulcrum (I know its cheaper overseas but needed it resolved asap) but when they got it, it was too large.

I wanted to check, is the wheel bearing assembly machine pressed to the hub? When I was looking up replacements, found that alot of G35 and 350Z owners replaced the front hub/wheel bearing assembly as one piece eg;

After much searching, I rang Just Jap in Sydney. They said they have the front wheel bearing assembly for a V35. It is just the assembly, not the hub as well. It is something like this:

Apparently they are similar to the M35.

The guy will look at it tomorrow when they get in the warehouse but does it have to be machine pressed to the hub? I know the assembly is mounted at the rear of the front bracket. Does that mean hub can sit on the end of it (unpressed)? I would think it would have to be pressed in (will see if the shop has a press).

It was the only place that had the bearing assembly for the V35... are the 350z the same?

Worse case if not, can the hub/wheel assembly from a G35 fit a V35 (Brembo)?

EG;

Checked out OEM, Nissan want over $400 for the hub/wheel bearing assembly as a one piece. This was for the 350z though...

Do you think it be best to replace the hub anyways? Don't think its bad though haven't looked at the condition of the inner circle of the hub.

Worse case if its just easier to buy as one.. would the following fit? If it did (can't see why not) that would make things easier.

I'm pretty sure I have bought from them before. Not sure if this is genuine Nissan (alot of their parts are) but than again, doesn't necessarily mean non OEM is worse.

Another link of a pre-pressed hub:

Don't know how the Fulcrum bearing was too big.

Also anyone got a part listing for the bush located from the suspension to chassis (Not Lower Control Arm)?

Cheers guys

Edit:

I just re-read what I posted and realised that was correct in assuming the hub and bearing are pressed together (has been for me with my other cars) but SAU wouldn't let me edit that part.

I'm just going to buy the hub/bearing as one piece. Though current hub isn't bad thought would change it.

I don't see why the G35 hub I listed would be different to the V but can anyone confirm? Only asking as the Fulcrum listed bearing for the G35 was apperently different (though think it may have been an incorrect listing)
