This is a high-quality outer wheel bearing, designed specifically for the rear axle of Nissan Patrol GU (Y61) Utes fitted with leaf spring suspension. Located within the rear wheel hub assembly, this bearing is a crucial component for ensuring smooth and safe wheel rotation.

As a critical wear item, wheel bearings can fail due to high mileage, carrying heavy loads, or when the grease is contaminated by water and dirt from off-road use. The most common signs of a faulty bearing are a grinding or humming noise coming from the rear of the vehicle, or excessive play and looseness when you check the wheel. Replacing a worn bearing is essential for vehicle safety and reliability.

Product Features

• Manufactured from high-grade steel to meet or exceed OEM specifications for performance and durability under Australian conditions.
• Engineered with precise tolerances to handle heavy loads and reduce friction, ensuring a long service life.
• Direct replacement for the original part, restoring correct wheel rotation and eliminating dangerous wheel play.
• Critical Safety Note: Inferior bearings often use lower-grade steel and poor manufacturing tolerances, leading to premature failure. A failed wheel bearing can cause a wheel to seize or detach, resulting in a loss of vehicle control.

Replacing a rear wheel bearing is considered a moderate workshop job. It requires specialised tools like bearing pullers and a hydraulic press to correctly remove the old bearing and seat the new one without causing damage. It is highly recommended to replace the inner wheel bearing and the axle or hub seals at the same time. High-temperature wheel bearing grease is also required to properly pack the new bearing before installation.
