    Ok so my wheel bearings are on there way out, rear left mainly but i thought i would do both at the same time to keep it even.
    so i ordered some new bearings from Timken, part# 8037.
    Today i get them home and open them up and they dont look the same, as whats on the car.
    here are a couple of pictures of what i got.

    Now will these still fit or will i have to find a different supplier to order from?
    also my car is a Import, 1991, NA, 2 seater.
    when i called the guy at timken he said it was for the australia delivered 300zx, now correct me if im wrong i thought the rear of both the 2 seater and 2+2 ( NA's of course) had the same hubs, lower A arms etc?

    I thought i did enough research before i ordered them....but obviosly not enough

    So any information on part numbers and where to buy would be helpful.....thanx

    P.s i did search but couldn't find any information set in concrete:D

    They look the same to me.

    I will have a look at the spare hub I have at the factory and let you know positively.

    That part supports the hand brake pivot pin. BUT the whole hub is in two parts front and back.

    Let me check tomorrow

    You have pre-March 1990 rear wheel bearings that

    don't have the out-rigger on them. After March 1990 they came with the out-rigger like the TT's but they are slightly smaller. Actually I have the bearings that have the out-rigger which I was going to cut off to fit my car but if you want I will do a swap with you. PM me if you are interested. Cheerz.
