99 Sentra SE and 01 SE part number help

Canx2k · 10-24-2008, 07:32 PM

Are the driver's side spindle/hub assembilies the same on both vehicles?

reason I ask is my wife's spindle/bearing was coming out of the hub and aparantly the 'snapring' is gone, so it could just...come out at any given time.

if it's not interchangable, is ANY hub assembily from a 2000-2006 sentra able to be swapped in?

any help would be appreciated.

if im not mistaken those arent held in that way theyre pressed or a bolt-on hub but to the topic they changed from B14 to B15 in 00 also i think they changed the suspension to compensate the body change of that year. i believe any hub assy from 00-06 should work ***. body didnt change exept small stuff i think the chassis stayed the same 00-06

...really? there's no snap ring? how the F did the bearing come out of the hub 1/8th of an inch!?! I had it pressed back in but I'm worried now that the tire will come right off when i'm driving unless it has the snap ring (if that exists)

ok so apparantly there is a snap ring and no they are not interchangable.

NEW QUESTION
if the spindle/bearing seperate a bit from the hub, the snap ring is presumably gone. I assume it's safe to say that if i get a new snap ring and seal, that would fix it, but I'm not sure 100% if I can get away with not replacing the hub because it might have come out because the hub is worn out where the snap ring goes into.

does anyone know anything about courtesynissan? reason i ask is this:

show the same parts, however, when you click on them, the sku changes b14/b15 (different chassis of course).
are they indeed the same or no?

IIRC they are different, so get the one for the car you have.

You can try putting a new snap ring and seal in, but at the same time look for anything that may have caused the ring to fall out in the first place (just in case it was not improper installation).
