Good source for front spindle B14 new/used?
Coles notes: Need a spindle that is good for a decent price.
Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but I get the feeling these cars are weak in terms of design when it comes to the front hub/bearing/spindle assemblies. This is my only complaint (other than the noisy Hitachi starter that I replaced a few years back).
I replaced the front bearing with the aid of a press with a new Nissan one, and sure enough, it seems the front spindle bearing seat is worn and the outer race dances in there (you can shake the wheel as if it's loose) - the tie rod, ball joint, and strut mounts are good, and the bearing was tightened to the right torque.
I am a bit afraid of buying a used one and it not being good, etc., i.e. don't know if they test them (used parts places), but I guess some places warranty them? I called a local dealer and got a price of around $350-450 CAN (which is the same as US now) and nearly sh*t my pants. I'd like to buy new for peace of mind, ut would need a good source where shipping would be justified. BTW, would the dealer price include the hub and bearing? Sorry for the long post...
