It's 95 quid so the MOT code only gets it to 75.ish
If it is why do they list the timken bearing for it.
just had a little google and looks like maybe the one euros list is for and s13 think the best thing is to pull the disk off and have a look

So true, and it's not just cars, I have a little 5'x4' Daxara trailer, and due to a poor factory weld on the axle it lets in water/crud to the back of the hub bearing. So Every 2-3 years or so (the trailer gets a lot of use) the bearing needs replaced. But they don't supply a bearing, or even a bearing kit, for this model, only a new hub at £115.00 + postage.
I got fed up with this so the last time I heard the dreaded rumble I took one of the 2 old hubs I had kept from previous changes, and using John/Doubleboost's tip of running a bead of weld around the inside of the old bearing shell to shrink it to remove (the old bearing had disintegrated and the inner race fell out with a bunch of pyramid shaped ball bearings
). Worked a treat, and I was able to measure the outer diameter of the bearing, the inner diameter from the axle, and the width of the bearing from the outer shell. Then a quick web search got me a new bearing, seal and circlip for a grand total of £55 delivered.I thought fitting would be a bit hard without a press (on the to-make list), but by freezing the new bearing and heating the hub on a gas ring, the bearing just dropped straight into place with just gravity.

Interesting. I think my problem will be worse as the forums are claiming it can't be done but John (doubleboost) checked for an aftermarket one and he can't even get one.So true, and it's not just cars, I have a little 5'x4' Daxara trailer, and due to a poor factory weld on the axle it lets in water/crud to the back of the hub bearing.

what I would like is to get an old one I can play with now as it seems it could actually be a sticking pot in a dual pot caliper that was causing the humming/noise.

There seem to be loads in the States - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Wheel...m2eb76cdaca:m:mDlPk4_V7FnaxPF7YREoPWg&vxp=mtr
Of course, the trouble is the postage.

We don't believe those at Euros car parts will fit the S14.......we think they are for the S13.
But thanks for the heads up.
Hi there,
This won't fit your S14. Here in the USA the 200SX is a Front Wheel Drive car, which is what these bearings are for. We don't have the bearings for an S14, sorry.
Best Regards,

you cant get bearings for s14 front hubs, they come as a complete unit with the drive flange. you cant just swap in new bearings to your old hubs either trust me.
slide motorsport/garage D were selling them for about £120 each a while back.

Both Euro Parts & Andrew Page
List nothing for that car (as far as hubs / bearings) go
Some of the Ford / Volvo Bearings are complete hubs
The Inner Hub / Drive Flange is "swaged" in to the bearings
No way you can just replace the bearings
