WTB: Rear wheel bearings

My rear wheel bearing has been making a whole lot of humming noise for the past couple of months. Didn't find time to get it fixed until I recently got the part from the local "trusty" Nissan parts specialist. Stashed the part in my storeroom for a month before I finally haul myself and the ER34 to my regular mechanic.

And guess what I discovered at the workshop? It doesn't bloody fit! The new wheel bearing looks the same except that the one on my car has an additional "bracket". The part I got was verified via Nissan FAST and it's supposed to be the part for the ER34.

Well I learned a hard lesson. Never trust part numbers 100%. Oh damn it!! Now got to be on the lookout for replacements.

If you're in the market for ER34 rear wheel bearing, the Nissan part number 43210-AA100 may consist of the sequence numbers for the ER34 but hell it doesn't fit at all.

Anyone know where I can source for one??

  2. bro lufiasism, yea man. The part number is for both R34 and S15. But somehow mine is different.

    Perhaps for the Super Hicas it's different?

  6. Hi satigue. I just tried on 43281-AA100 LH, 43280-AA100 RH. It doesn't fit 100% too due to the size of the centre "hole". Will post up a picture for clarity.
