🛠️ Fitment Details
Press-fit steel plugs with integrated rubber sealing rings, installed in the end of the spindle housing to seal the swivel hub grease cavity. Prevents grease loss, dust ingress, and moisture contamination during operation.

✅ Direct OEM replacement, no modification required
✅ Maintains proper lubrication inside the swivel hub
✅ Prevents dirt and water entering kingpin bearings
✅ Factory fit and finish – same as original Nissan part

🔧 Tech Notes

• Sold as a pair (2 caps) – four required per vehicle (two per side)

• To Access the kingpin bearing race for removal, you will need to hammer out the existing grease caps that sit on the underside of the race. Doing that will cause damage to the existing cap and will then require new ones to be fitted.

❓PLEASE READ!!!

• NOTE THE DIRECTION OF THE PREVIOUS GREASE CAP FOR CORRECT FITTING.

🧰 Why Replace These?
Many Patrol swivel hub kits omit these caps, yet they are essential for sealing the hub cavity. Reusing old caps can lead to oil leaks and premature bearing failure. These quality units ensure:

• Correct press-fit tolerance

• Long-term sealing integrity

• Reliable protection from contamination
