Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / April 2005To Fix, or Not to Fix, That is The Question! stanza Whl. Bearing
My 92 Stanza has finally developed noisy wheel bearings after 170K. My mechanic says to turn up the volume on my stereo to drown out the noise as the bearings for this car will cost me about $200.00 per side,installed. What I need to know is how long can these bearings go in this condition and what can happen as time goes on? The car runs great and the body is in good condition. Also can these be salvaged from another similar car in the junkyard? Hope to hear from you and thanks. Tony C. if your able to do the work yourself, i would think you would save about $140.00, its not a very dificult job to do. > My 92 Stanza has finally developed noisy wheel bearings after 170K.

If it were me I'd fix it, Stanza's are one of Nissan's better creations. > My 92 Stanza has finally developed noisy wheel bearings after 170K.

Don't have a stanza, (but I'm working on one right now) but isn't that a cartridge bearing? If so, you will have to get it pressed in at machine shop, not to mention pressing out the CV axle. Don't get used bearings, they can leave you in the lurch again anytime they want. The bearings are probably only $40-50 each new. Most of the cost is labor. Scott B. '89 240sx '84 720 KK 4x4 |
