Few questions. WHo makes the OEM Nissan bearing? All i find are Timkin, and OEM nissan. Makes me think Timkin might make the OEM bearings for Nissan. Does anyone have an OEM bearing around? Any manufacturer stamp on it? There is a big price difference, so i don't want to spend $50-80 more for OEM to find it's a Timkin in a Nissan box.

Secondly...bearings are not side specific right? But they are Front and rear specific on an AWD right?

WHat about hubs? Can a front AWD hub work on the rear?

I was thinking of changing all 4 since the bearings are ~$60 each, but my press is 25 miles away at work. So after removing each bearing, id have to drive 50 miles to press in/out the hubs. Was thinking of buying a front hub/bearing assembly, installing that, and then buying just bearings only and pressing the hub out from the first bearing and using it on the other side and then continuing on to the rWould save me time. But if the front hubs can't be used on the rear, then my plan wont work.

Good question, pretty sure they are different (at least on the RWD) because an axle goes directly through the bearing.
