where to buy wheel bearings?

[daveyboy20]

I have had quotes and the are all 50 quid plus for one front nearside wheel bearing none abs! Someone on here said they'd be £25, just wondering if anyone can recomend where to buy one? Theres some on ebay but they are 40 quid not including postage, seems expensive..

Front wheel bearings aren't cheap, i would go with GSF or Eurocar parts, i have fitted the rears supplied by GSF and they seem fine.

ECP do a cheap front wheel bearing for £27 not including VAT.
I think i paid £65 for my last one.

You cant get non ABS hubs anymore, but it's just a simple castellated ring which can be removed if you wish.

i could not get a wheel bearing from ECP i had to get the wheel hub. cant remember price but the ECP wesite will do it for you......or let you know

front wheel bearings are part of the hub aswell.

I'd stay well clear of the £25 tat ones as they won't last. GSF sell FAG bearings for about £50 and are the OE bearing for the car. I've used them with no problems.

as above stay clear of the cheap ones but i paid around the £40 mark at gsf the price was no different whether you had the abs one or not and it is the complete hub on the front not just a bearing like the rears

I bought mine form the main dealer. They weren't cheap (188 euro each front hubs) but at least I knew I was getting the best quality.

ecp for me like simon says.. they are FAG so I'm happy with that

im in agreement with simon on that. i bought a pair of the cheap £25 bearings from ECP ,complete with hub and abs ring and fitted them 2 weeks before the mot. both were noted as advisorys on the mot with a little play in each. i tried the QH brand from a motor factors @ £60 each and have had no problem since.easy job to do yourself as well.
