Front Wheel Bearings

Postby Howard_B » 12 Feb 2023 10:21

I have to replace the front near side wheel bearings shortly & wanted some thought on the best source. The usual main UK suppliers sell complete sets, but am concerned about the quality as my car covers a lot of mileage each year. Any recommendations / comments?

Cheers

Yeah go for proper known brand bearings like Timken, SKF, NSK etc, avoid the cheap and particularly nasty Chinese rubbish on eBay, that shit doesn’t last.
