Nissan Parts It Pays To Shop Around

[monstr]

After finding a pool of oil on one of the front wheels it was time to replace axle seals ,Thought i might replace with genuine so rang local Nissan dealer Bloody near fell of the chair when he quoted me $54 plus gst Each So rang a firm i had used before, Bearing Supplies NZ Ltd and without even asking got a 40% discount price was $5.04 cent each plus gst and its exactly the same seal,..Steve

Sounds like your Nissan dealer got the decimal point in the wrong place

[monstr]

I thought the same thing so got him to double check but he assures me that was the right price..

same things from toyota are really good but
$7500 for a front hilux double cardon drive shaft was not

the local drive shaft shop had the rebuild parts for $200 all up

Im paid to say that lol, try $4500 for a new 1996 hilux steering wheel

But it still pays to ask anyway often we get custys who try 2-3 non genuine and end up having to get genuine so you do the math..

Steve, Do you remember the size of the axle seals for the front of your nissan. I have noticed mine are leaking and I cant find where I wrote down the seal size last time I changed them. I like to have the seals before I start the job so I only have to get grubby once. From memory they are 44x33x8 or something similar. Cheers, Jase.
