Hi guys
I have a problem that I thought I had solved yesterday but came to another dead end. I have a 1992 300ZX TT.
I first noticed a new sound in the cabin several weeks ago while on my way back from the airport. It always sounded like tyre rubbing in the wheel arch but there was no uneven wear when I checked. I put the car in for a service and asked the garage (Not Nissan) to check for any humming sounds from the wheels but they could find nothing wrong which I thought was odd as they have dealt with these cars before. Anyone who has driven any car for a while knows what it sounds like so I knew something was up and I wasn't going crazy. So I got a second opinion from a garage in town and they determined the fault to be with the near side rear bearing.
To cut a long story short after becoming a full member of Z club I was put in contact with a guy that breaks Z32's and he sold me the entire near side rear wheel hub which is great. Problem is I can't find anyone that will fit the thing. Garages will only fit new parts because of insurance purrposes??!! I guess I should have seen this coming!
I live way down in Hertfordshire. Does anyone know of a 300ZX specialist nearby. If not I will travel as I have to get this done. Can anyone help?
