Worm Gear Bearing

[matwood]

Alright guys, I've got a plan...

 

I stole this picture from HRH, It is the bearing that every 510 steering box needs 2 of.

 

 

 

 

In my troublesome search, I have come up with a source for these bearings, in Ukraine. They have given me a quote...

I was wondering if any of you guys would be willing to pitch in on a couple pieces to get all of our costs down, the shipping and everything is the killer but they are willing to ship a bunch at this price.

 

If I were to charge just enough to give each of us an equal share of the shipping and "administrative costs" then we would all make it out on top.

 

This is your chance to get this elusive bearing in 4-5 days rather than waiting the 8 weeks that HRH had to.

 

LET ME KNOW QUICKLY GUYS, I PLAN ON ORDERING WITHIN A WEEK!!!

Do you know if this is the same bearing that the 210 uses? I've been thinking about doing some work on the steering box.

You've got an ID number written down off the bearing shell, right?

Try MSC industrial supply or Fleet Industries - they're both very

user friendly for non-business customers and have vast selections

of bearings. Google either of them and then use their catalog search

engines. Searching things like bearing #s directly on Google tends

to lead to places like Ukraine or China or the Thomas's Register or

the bearing manufacturers themselves (who don't sell to the GP).

 

If the bearing came from the box in the photo, it's NSK, a Japanese

company. It's an oddball type of bearing, but not so odd that you

have nowhere else to get it but the Ukraine.

 

The message you recieved from them has the distinct ring of

the ubiquitous Nigerian scam with it's overly formal and flattering

tone. I have a hunch the site you found is a Nigerian fabrication.

I do NOT know if it is the same. The steering box looks much different but that doesn't necessarily mean that they don't have the same bearings.

 

See what you can do about getting an exploded view of the 210 box and we can compare..

I appreciate the input. I am going to a local shop today to see what they can do about sourcing something.

 

Also, I cannot seem to find 'Angular contact bearings' on the sites you mentioned that are anywhere near similar to the one in question.

 

Any more input, guys?

That is an odd looking bearing, but I can't see it clearly through the bag it's in.

 

I would really advise you to to take your box apart and look at the bearing ID number

that's actually in there. Nissan changed some things repeatedly, used multiple suppliers

and used different specs in different markets that got re-exported everywhere. The

Haynes manual calls it a needle bearing, which is not an angular contact bearing at all.

For those reasons, shop manual info alone isn't a reliable way to get the right parts.

 

Getting a spare box to rebuild would be really handy.

 

The term 'angular contact' usually refers to a few different types of ball bearing

with an assymetrical cross section designed to take heavy thrust loads in one

direction combined with heavy radial loads. Some of them look like common

symmetrical section BB's and others can be more unusual looking.

That bearing should be available through a good supplier, like Applied Technologies or McGuire Bearing. They might not have it in stock, but they can get it, and won't roger you on the shipping.

I live 5 min away from TacomaScrew they carry everything in fasteners and bearings, PM me the important #'s and I will check for you.

[zerow]

Here is a link I found for the bearing dimensions. Possible cross reference based on dimensions??

510 and 610 and B-210 use the same bearing number 48190 21000

That's what he needs...you've rebuilt them all before. I just don't have time to take a spare

one apart to follow my own advice and have never rebuilt one myself.

[matwood]

For the important numbers, taken from the site that zerow lists....

 

Fw = 19.2mm (~diameter of sector shaft)

 

Height = 9.5mm (thickness??)

 

D = 41mm (outer diameter)

 

D1 = 27mm (??smaller diameter)

As for datsport, I'm not sure... will check today!

Elmer, I would really appreciate a check at the local supply, thanks man!

NSK part number is VTAA19Z-3.

Can't see these bearings being that worn out. The big wear is on the main gears and there's no fix for that. To a point you can adjust them closer together to remove some slop but the wear isn't even, being more worn in the middle straight ahead position. If you adjust closer here it may be too tight at full turn and be way too tight! Not good at all.
