I thought I heard Kevin M. say that Kspeed stocks the Nissan bearing last weekend. Regardless, do not drive on it if you suspect it's the wheel bearing. I destroyed the CV joint, rotor, ABS sensor, hub, and the bearing when mine let loose all by driving on it after it started failing.

Search up Dean's thread discussing the Nissan bearing. The first post indicates the two part numbers you can use to pick one up from Kragen. NAPA tried to sell me a cross referenced one that isn't as good but I believe Kragen had one that showed the correct part number on the box.

I also picked up Mobil-1 synthetic red grease and had Cory flush out the preexisting grease and replace it with that.
