just walk into your local repco and get a kit. i know they keep them at the wearhouses and can get them over night if not in stock at the store.

Pretty sure my mate (who's a mechanic) Got terrain tamer kit for me, the best kit I've seen, have used the repco kit and it didn't have all the parts for the swivel hub. Worth a look! Oh and were cheaper than repco!

I have bought 5-6 over the last few years. From memory the GQ ones cost a bit more than the MQ/MK ones.

Last one i got cost $180 from Bursons (and then they had a sale the following week for $140).

Not too sure about the eBay ones - KOYO bearings are great, but just check and make sure the eBay kit has ALL of the seals etc.

Can't go wrong with Terrain Tamer. Comes as a complete kit, and no doubt they have warranty to boot. I'll go Terrain Tamer for my next set, as my drivers side rotor-wiper seal chewed out within two months of installation on my last swivel kit (eBay).

I used a Terrain Tamer kit from Don Kyatt, which came with all the bits and pieces you need, apart from shims. Price was pretty reasonable, but was quite a few years ago now. The only issue I had was that the wiper seals started to fall apart after a few years, so installed some genuine Nissan ones and it has been fine ever since.

I'm doing mine now with a croc country kit, along with the front wheel bearings.

kit comes with every but preload shims. and because i bought wheel bearing kits i've got a few seals and gaskets as spare.

The kits use both Koyo and NTN bearings and seals.

apparently my kit was packed by Ron. :armsup:

I recently got a kit for my Nissan and my 60 series which where the same brand. The one for my 60 series came with heaps more bits (including shim) then my Nissan did.

I'm pretty sure they where both Terran Tamers and they both had Koyo bearings.

Cheers Mick.

this is what i have just done, got it from that ebay company, swivel hub and wheel bearing kit for $301 delivered express, i ordered and paid in the morning, was left inside the front screen door when i got home the next day, great service from them, only thing it didnt come with was new seal/plate things that seal off the top and bottem swivel hub bearings, so care was needed removing the old ones.

also didnt have shims.
