Which brand wheel bearing?

[landy]

Any suggestions on best wheel bearing brand to go for?

See euros etc do starline but all FAG etc. Interested to know people's experience with different brands or much the same same.

Cheers

Interested to see if anyone has an opinion. I would normally just go for the best quality, possibly a name I am aware of.

Yep, used them for top mounts, drop links and filters in the past. No issues.

Also did you get a fitting kit too with the pull and push rods etc?

Yeah but price goes up and down as it's amazon. It was 51 when I purchased them then a week later went down to 33. I purchased another set at 33 and returned them on the 51 quid order so got refunded.

Nice one cheers, I'm assuming same bearing for front or read too?!

 

[jayc001]

Yeah they are all the same. If doing yourself you'll be well placed to buy the tool for removal and reinsertion.

Why these listed as front? Is it not same method of removal and refit front vs rear?!

Bit miffed as oem looks to be different part number front to rear, looks to be flange diameter, 143 (rr) vs 149 (fr).

Did you get anywhere with this? I've just gone on euro car parts and there listing different rears to fronts and different brands as if to say my fronts and rear bearings are different. My van is a t32 so unsure if that's why and maybe the t28 t30 use the same front and rear but the t32 use different

No mate didn't get any feedback on it, t30 show different front to rear too, but lot of comments saying same fr to rear

Yeh weird and the only different I can see is the flange diameter, only by 6mm which is naff all.

I'll download the OEM drawings and get my axle guru to take a look, that should identify if there is anything in delta for axle and thrust loadings.
