Nissan Elgrand E51 2002-2010 Rear Hub Wheel Bearing Kit

The rear hub wheel bearing kit for the Nissan Elgrand E51 (2002–2010) is a critical component of the vehicle’s suspension and drivetrain system.

A wheel bearing can wear out over time due to constant use, harsh driving conditions or inadequate lubrication. Here’s how to identify a faulty wheel bearing:

1. Unusual Noises:
   • A loud humming, growling, or rumbling noise that intensifies as the vehicle speeds up.
   • Clicking or snapping sounds, especially during turns.
2. Wheel Play:
   • Excessive play or looseness in the wheel when manually rocked while the vehicle is lifted.
3. Vibration:
   • Feeling vibrations through the steering wheel or the vehicle body, particularly at higher speeds.
4. Uneven Tyre Wear:
   • Irregular patterns of wear on the tyres can indicate a misaligned or failing bearing.
5. ABS Warning Light:
   • Modern vehicles may trigger the ABS warning light if the wheel bearing’s integrated sensor malfunctions.
6. Heat:
   • After driving, a failing wheel bearing may cause the wheel hub to feel unusually hot to the touch.

Driving with a faulty wheel bearing is unsafe and can lead to further damage to the hub, suspension, or even axle components.

Replacing your Nissan Elgrand rear bearing promptly ensures continued safety, smoother operation and prolonged vehicle life.

A rear hub wheel bearing kit is a convenient option as it provides all the necessary components for a straightforward replacement.
