I've replaced a couple having worked for a NHPC and like you said it is just a 'noise' and don't effect how it drives at all. There not a nice job to do at all. We had a couple come in with big power from litchfield and what a difference the Y Pipe mod makes!
To be honest I was expecting it to take a lot longer. The casting on the right in the pic which mounts the lower bearing wasn't required as the issue was the upper ball joint which had shocking amounts of play, I just changed both for good practice. Tbh I couldn't believe how easy everything...
Basically you change the ABS ring seperately by heating it up to remove. The job can be done in place, any good garage should be able to take on this job with no problems. No need to take it to a main dealer i wouldn't pay more than £80 all incl.
Afternoon all, just replaced the N/S/F Upper ball joint And bearing flange carrier also known as a Swivel Hub assembly on a friends 197 this morning, the whole job took about 2hrs start to finish, never changed one before and it was no stress. No special tools required so who ever is familiar...
Also have the added advantage of being a High Performance Center which means i get to play with the GTR :cool:
To be honest mate i would leave her how she is...she has subtle mods and that is all it needs. A Meggy Turbo engine would ace tho!
I did my apprenticeship with Nissan and we were a Renault dealership also so was conveniant for parts etc. Renault have since moved on but still working for Nissan, they seem to be more of a Renault at the moment tho lol.
Your 200 looks much more "****" with black wheels :cool:
