MOOG515065 Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly for Nissan Frontier

From the moment you open the packaging you can see these bearings are a step above generic and likely as good as or better than OEM - clean machining, visible heat treating at stress points, and quality electrical connector.I installed these bearings on both sides of my 2011 Frontier - only one bearing was making noise but decided with 175K miles it would be wise to just do both. I installed the bearings and the very next week towed my 19ft travel trailer nearly 4000 miles over the course of three weeks over the rural Southwest. No problems with these bearings at allThings I would suggest to install:1) soak the old bearing at the knuckle in penetrating fluid the night before you begin - if your old bearing is rusted into the knuckle this will help get it started. also soak the electrical connector for the speed sensor with QD electrical cleaner spray - use air compressor to blow out any dirt/gunk from the connector and then spray QD cleaner into the seam of the two connectors. this will help you separate the two when needed.2) the old bearing can be successfully removed without a puller by using a long drift punch. Work around the dust shield placing the punch against the outer flange of the bearing, tapping the old bearing out slowly. As the bearing begins to move, tap from alternating angles as the bearing works loose so as to not seize the bearing at an angle inside the knuckle. I tried the FSM method of installing a puller against the CV axle but felt that this would put a lot of stress against the CV joints, especially if removing a factory bearing from a rusty knuckle.. After a few good initial whacks it was easy to slowly tap the bearing out of the knuckle3) contrary to what many say all four bolts can be removed without pulling out the CV axle but you may need a couple different sized socket drivers, some fit better than others, and you may need to press against the CV boot a little to get the socket on - be careful no to puncture the boot.3) clean the knuckle very well and make sure there is no surface rust on the flat face where the bearing bolts up, and clean any rust out of the ring where the bearing seats. then put a thin coat of anti seize on the bearing before installing. my bearing tapped into the knuckle with minimal fuss

Fits perfectly on Xterra. Hope it lasts.

Took me a good half of my Saturday to replace two of these on my 2007 Nissan Frontier, but it was worth it. I saved several hundred dollars doing it myself. The parts seem very well built and were well packaged. Not an easy job for a novice like me. The old parts were rusted pretty good to the truck and took a while to remove. Once that part was done it was pretty simple.

Last one lasted 85k. Thought I'd get longer but this is the heaviest car I've had and the original timkens made it to about 100k each and failed months apart. 2nd set were both moog and replaced at 88 and 90k. Abs sensor fits and sets off no codes, can't complain and got the last one for 130 here after the first 3 cost me over 200 each. I won't comment on the install if you buy this you should know but shops charge 500+ on these trucks per side. I will comment on the install; last one I pulled without disconnecting ball joints or removing the cv, so that's an option.

Okay this was my 1st nissan 4wd hub replacement (2008 Frontier for son), so I watched many videos. its kind of and I do mean kind of interesting when you have to use a sledge hammer to remove a part maybe a little cathartic?? It went on like a champ and I reused the speed sensor bcs some body (a dummy) clipped the wires in the past. I greased the collar where the hub seats just to make it easier to install no way that thing is coming off with 5 positive attachments. Now I have to do the other one...yea!All in all I would consider it a medium hard job. Installing a back up camera and radio is a worse job...

Easy to install

The old timken bearing was just starting to make noise at 280,000 miles, hope this one is as good. Looks and feels like a good one. The truck rolls down the road smoothly and quietly with this new one.

Easy replacement on my 2011 Nissan Frontier SV. Fit perfectly, sensors operating, and reduced road noise.
