NV 4WD hub

[broncobowsher]

I'm trying to pencil together a 4WD conversion for a Nissan NV van. One of my stumbling blocks is the front wheel bearing. From what I can tell it is an off the shelf part, but I don't know what shelf. My attempts at searching parts catalogs for bearings isn't panning out. If all I wanted was a normal bearing, great I got those figured out. But the unit bearing front hubs I can't find all the diminsional specs or a good reference. Anyone got a good resource they can share?

Timken makes most of them, but I don't know about Nissan. Could be Aisin as well?

Yep, I have spent hours on that Timken website. I can't find the unit bearings on it. If you could show me where to find the unit bearing specs that would be great.
And I tried emailing them asking for help, never heard back from them either.

Is it a Titan 4x4 part?

 

[broncobowsher]

Nope, Titan is 6-lug. NV is 8-lug. I see that Quigly and Advanced are doing it and keeping the 8-lug wheels.
Titan also uses a 3-bolt triangular bolt pattern holding the hub to the knuckle, NV is 4-bolt.

Have you checked other 8 bolt 3/4ton applications?
Something like a GM 2500 pickup maybe?

Isn't the NV bolt pattern 8 on 6.5? Check Dodge and Chevy 8 lug applications

Older Fords use that pattern also.

And all that brings me back to where I started. Needing a resource that has some specs on all these bearings that I should be looking at. Could be a Dodge, could be GM, Could be older Ford. Timken has a monster website that this stuff doesn't show up on the search feature. I'm not about to go buy one of each just to see if they will work or not. Someone has to have a parts list from a conversion.

Does this help? It has a table with dimensions of unit bearings. Maybe you can search by a few key dimensions and find what you need???

I have a 2014 NV3500 Quigley 4x4. Is there something on my van that I can look up or take a picture of to assist?

I personally would love to see a few undercarriage pictures. Im a big NV fan.

 

[broncobowsher]

Picture of the back of the steering knuckle would be great. And if you happen to see a part number on the wheel bearing or it is in the paperwork somewhere would be great. The link above for Timken is a huge resource, LOTS of info in it. I'm sure I could cross reverence some numbers, but it would be better if someone already has a conversion done.

I've just about called Quigley and asked for the part number. But I would feel like such a ************ doing so, since I'm bugging them for info to avoid buying stuff from them. I can't bring myself to do so.

Attached are two images of what I think you wanted. I didn't see any numbers. Need any more or different images?
