Wheel Hubs & bearings for Nissan Frontier

Wheel Hubs and Bearings for Nissan Frontier

Nissan has made the Frontier since 1997, and the pickup has gone through three generations. Depending upon the model year, cab design, wheel size, and trim style of the pickup, owners may select different grades and sizes of wheel assembly units. Nissan Frontier drivers who use their trucks for hauling or off-road driving will select heavy-duty bearings and hubs for their wheels while lighter duty drivers may choose standard or Original Equipment Manufacturer components.

Should Frontier hubs and bearings be replaced in pairs?

Owners should consider purchasing and installing pairs of wheel hubs and bearings for Nissan Frontier at the same time. Unlike brakes, which are intended to be consumable equipment for wheels that will be replaced during normal vehicle service intervals, hub kits and wheel bearings are sealed, self-contained units that can last 75,000, 100,000 or 150,000 miles. If one side of the assembly on the front or rear axle goes bad, Nissan mechanics advise replacing both left and right wheel assemblies, including the bearings, because the other wheel assembly has a high chance of failure within a short time.

Are there performance wheel hubs and bearings for Frontier?

What is the difference between original Frontier and OEM parts?
