I had to replace the passenger side for safety in October, so not really surprised this one is gone now. $56 all in with lifetime warranty from http://www.primechoiceautoparts.ca/ Wow. My Nissan Rogue Nissan wheel bearings are crap, I've been through two sets, and so I've paid for SKF for the most recent set. Think 6x what you are paying! But the forums say they worth it. Should never have to replace them again. And remember, I currently still only have 140k on the vehicle, and it's on its third set of front bearings!

derekmac Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I paid $80 for the one I needed for safety, and that was the cheapest I could find. Also only had a 90 day warranty. If if the Prime Choice one lasts 2 years, and I get a free replacement that lasts 2 more years, I'll be quite happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SQRLPWR Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 More collecting of parts. The energy suspension lower shock bushings came in and they're identical to the original bushings. Not a huge deal a they were $8 each and the old ones are rotted out, just a bigger bolt is now required Also, got a big-bag-o-nuts&bolts from Transworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Jay, are the bushings meant to have a sleeve in them? all my Skyjacker shock bushings are meant to have either a sleeve or the barpin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 these are from an XJ, so have the squished bar. I've pressed the bar out, so I'll either need to sleeve it or just use a bigger bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 I know I have at least one sleeve you can have. I'll look for the other one(s) that should be in one of the tool boxes too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks James. I gotta go to CT to get brake lines, so I'll take my bushing and bolt with me....see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 ok, so CT didn't have anything resembling a sleeve, but they did have some 3/4 inch galvanized steel nipples (really). Now I know the steel is probably poor quality or not very strong, but for $3 I'll give it a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 As the years go by in a house or garage you'll end up with lots of scrap metal and fasteners without buying stuff. Even just go for a walk on a country road! Or a city street! Or the neighbour on garbage day! Lots of anti-seize to allow it all to rotate! For a few weeks anyway!

SQRLPWR Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Yeah, I'm getting a little scrap box going already ....and, the fasteners and small parts like that are killing my already dead budget LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawritch Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 So this is happening.. 3/8" plate stubby bumper and hidden winch. My buddy is busy arc welding it at school for a "project" haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jawritch Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Definitely! I've never tried stick welding and don't have access to one if I wanted anyway. I've done my fair share of favors for him too though haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82Yota Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 When I get 220 wired up in my garage anyone that wants a quick lesson on stick welding can just let me know. So much better than mig if you know how to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
