does 209 dollars sound like the right price for auto front hub???

i told you they were expensive....
go with the manual hubs... you can get 2 for $99 from milemarker

with a manual hub dont i have to get outside of your car and do something everytime u wanna put it in 4x4...???

Only to engage the hubs. Once the hubs are engaged then you can shift between 2WD and 4WD. Granted not at normal driving speeds. But if you are off road and know you will be needing 4WD at some point, you can engage them then.

its also goo for if you are driving in snow you can run in 2wd but if it gets slick or somthing you can switch with no problem.... i am swaping to manual hubs on the pathy when i get a chance....

hmmmm just dont like the thought of getting out of my car to engage my hubs everytime i wanna put it in 4x4 :(

what will happen if i just keep driving with an interally cracked hub??? kinda makes clunking noises when i drive.....

it will fail......

would my bearings be at any risk...??????

think im going to have to go with the automatic hub its 209 dollars before shipping for 1 hub lol :(

ok well if that's the route you wanna go.... just out of curiosity where did you find the hub???? just so if anyone else has the same problem i could point them in that direction....

well i couldnt find any auto hubs online but got a phone number off nissanusa.com and someone got me the phone number of nissan at woodmen in colorado springs was talking to somone eles who told me they can get the part from denver colorado 1 day delviery and the 1 hub will be 209 before the shipping costs and taxes LOL!!!

would my bearings be at any risk...??????
Yes. If metal pieces start breaking off of the hub, they can start falling into the bearing and getting ground up. That's not good.

Ever heard of car-part.com? I would think you could get it a lot cheaper there...

Yep, just checked. Looks like you ought to be able to get one for about $50. If you're lucky, you can find one near you and won't have to pay shipping.

Any chance you can get some good pics of the failed part?

ty for the info yeh theres like 10 hubs for 2002 X for sale from 125 to150 dollar but there in maine and texas and stuff after shipping and all the time it takes in the mail i dont know if it would even be worth it to save an extra 20 buck or so.... thanx alot though was very helpful

50 where u see that????

my dad as a digital camra but i havent ever post pics before i would defintaly wanna post pics of my hub its cracked on the inside like a whole piece inside broke off... but dont really know who to post pic tomarrow i can try though.......

Just to name a few. I don't think they would charge more than $20 to ship, should be less. Call around to a few of them, till you find someone you like that sounds like they'll help you out. Be explicit on what the part includes, and what it comes with. I don't know what these look like when they come apart, but a lot of manual hubs kinda come in two pieces, and some places will sell just the end cap. That's probably not the case with these though. Call around tomorrow, good luck.

Oh yeah, and a lot of places will give like a 30 day or so warranty. It ain't a lot, but it's enough time for you to get it installed and make sure it works. Just something to remember to ask about.

i gotz aisin manual hubs on the 4runner,
wouldnt swap to auto for nothing

Personally I'd go with the manual hubs and NOT unlock them for 2wd if it's between snow storms.

well i kinda wanted auto hubs and a brand new one dont want to buy a used piece get it and have damage done to it

Derek, Derek, Derek.......

This is the point where you say, I am gonna call James. Maybe he knows someone who is selling their auto hubs? Oh and they do not go out easy either. By the way, I have the specific tool to do this at my place. We will service both of your wheel bearings at the same time. Sound like a deal?

If you want to stick with auto, you can find them easy.

Do some searching first dude, you will save soooooo much money.

SLOW DOWN!!!!!

Call a brother up and we will see if you even need one first.

Hey, while we're on the subject, where's the best place to get one of those spindle nut sockets? I don't know what the nut looks like yet, so don't know which tool I'll need. I wouldn't mind cleaning out those flooded wheel bearings though...
