so im pretty sure the bearing in my ichiba hub is bad (wheel still moves when bolted down)... i was wondering if you guys know of any places that will sell just one hub. i called phase 2 and 240sxmotoring and they can only sell pairs.

also, if i cant get one, i can just buy an oem bearing and press it in right?

thanks guys

Make sure you remove the washer inside your original 4 lug hub and use in the 5 lug hub

Sometimes if you forget to do this, there is play (and its very unsafe to drive obviously)

buy an OEM bearing from nissan and press it in.

it costs like $200 or something though, but i suspect that is the reason for the aftermarket 5 lug for going bad.. using a $12 bearing in the same way that all china-link uses $0.25 rod ends.

i've had to warranty a few of the china-hubs... kinda crazy how everyone stopped buying the $500 hub sets that were out a few years ago in favour of the cheapo ones now..

my Attains from 2005 are still working well. I've had clients who race semi-professionally burn out the china-hubs in a single session.

just go to autozone and buy a oem replacement bearing from there. just get the timken brand and your straight.
