Parts for your 1995 Nissan Primera-Wheel hubs

1995 Nissan Primera wheel hubs — purpose, care and when to replace

Based on Nissan’s factory service manual for the P10 Primera (Front Axle FAX and Rear Axle RAX sections) and the Nissan FAST electronic parts catalogue, the 1995 Nissan Primera is fitted with wheel hubs front and rear. The fronts use a hub with a double-row bearing pressed into the steering knuckle, and the rears use a hub and bearing assembly that varies slightly by trim (drum or disc, ABS or non-ABS). In short, wheel hubs are absolutely relevant to this model.

On this Primera, the wheel hub is the bit that your wheel bolts to via the studs. It supports the vehicle’s weight through the bearing, lets the wheel spin smoothly, and, on ABS models, carries the tone ring the sensor reads. A straight, clean hub face means the wheel sits true, so the car tracks nicely and the brakes behave.

Day to day, there isn’t much to “service” on a Primera wheel hub because the bearings are sealed. What does matter is regular checks. During a service, it’s smart to spin each wheel and listen for a growl, feel for roughness, and check for free play at 12 and 6 o’clock. Any rumbling, looseness, or heat after a short drive points to a worn bearing or damaged hub.

When it’s time to replace, quality counts. Pressing the front bearing into the knuckle needs the right tools
