It simply floats on the hub. Unless someone switched hubs. Either way, the correct seal should be 550230, which are available at your local NAPA parts house! Spokane warehouse has 2 in stock, but I didn't look at your location. Make sure you verify you have the rear trailing arm/hub assembly from a 510 and that someone hasn't swapped in something else.

datsundan Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I just stopped my napa to check out the seals from them and they are the same size as the ones I already bought. What options does a 510 have as far as rear trailing arm/hub assemblies from other cars? Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Sorry for the late reply. They may be 280zx arms, possibly S13, pretty much anything Nissan that's older can be retrofitted onto a 510. If your control arms don't look like this, they're off something else: Quote Link to comment
