$600 wheel bearing bill is a lot better than the $1k one I had lol. Mine was the front bearing though.

 

Its like this setup. The aluminum spacers are for a s-chassis s-13, s-14, z32, j30. The anti sway bar is from a full active-suspension model.

 

Aluminum sub-frame bushings.

Fuck, why are all your wheel bearing jobs costing so much?

Makes me want to replace the wheel bearings in my extra spindles before I put them in for my 4x4 swap.

 

Just don't use a hydraulic press and it's easy. Get an OTC bearing tamer or hub tamer

 

Grrr, pulled keys outta my pocket, they felt light. Cruiser fob is missing, must've finally snapped. Fuck that's gonna be hard to find a new one of

 

Mine was out of necessity cause it failed on my way up to Santa Cruz for our wedding last year. Had to take it to the first shop I could find. Was a good shop but expensive esp being in Santa Cruz.
Also mine included new brake rotor and axle, that was the place that put the FEQ axle in

 

Way to go

 

Yeah that kinda actually blows to be honest, the one button remotes are impossible to find. Might just rip out the alarm since it auto arms and I can't disarm it now

 

Never pressed out a wheel bearing; now to find a shop that'll do it correctly

 

Tesla must've had an issue with their assembly jigs
Looks like garbage, prolly the assembly line Elon had put together in that tent
Before anyone gets butt hurt, it's a joke I promise I like Elon

 

Found one...

 

make some new cases if your buying another.

 

Ouch, even at a discounted price.

 

I ended up buying one of these tools for the big stake nut.

Once I had the tool, it was easy to find a shop to do the press work. Are yours like this?

 

i have the toyota tool.. makes those soo much easier

 

No, I think their quality control might actually be shit, I saw a Model x with doors and windows completely unparallel and not even flat with the body line

I think they've got high demand and low staff count and morale. It's basically a massive company that makes no profit and pays low.

 

ive seen many teslas with panel fitment issues. theyre built like total shit... impressive performance. crappy car.

 

Yeah, actually, I'll draw it up and see if I can get work to mill one out of alum for me on the little CNC.
