Wheel bearing help......

[kam-325i]

I am looking to get a new front wheel bearing/hub from either Euro car parts of GSF, but i cant tell which one i need from thier part lists, both have one for nearly Ԛ£40 and one for nearly Ԛ£18, which one do i need ?

I can see what you mean on ECP's web site - not sure what the cheaper one actually is but I have bought about half a dozen over the last 18 months for various E30's and they have always been the Ԛ£41 item.

Hope this helps!

abs or non abs the only differents is the abs ring

So the extra Ԛ£30+ is for the ABS ring on the back of the hub ?????

Mind you, Ԛ£40 is better than Ԛ£60 from the dealers !!!!

ECP's listing is a bit odd though as both are listed as ABS?

Might be worth giving them a call to check.

I did one from GSF recently and the non ABS one was Ԛ£40, which I took back, and the one with an ABS ring was Ԛ£22!
They do both at both prices but they are made by different manufacturers.
I should think a BMW one would last 100,000 miles and a cheap GSF one maybe 40-50,000, but it's done 170,000 so I think it will suffice.

my bearing is F - ing me off
had it done Xmas and same night it was making a terrible skeeetching sound. does it every morning, faster u go, higher the pitch until it disapears. then when u slow down it comes back until u stop.
also the colder it is the louder the noise is until u drive it for a bit then it eventually goes (must warm up by friction and sort itself out)

i hve ABS legs (very sexy ones too ) can i fit a non abs bearing in there??? i dont have the abs electronics system as my car is a bitzer car. lol

The only differnece between an ABS and Non-ABS bearing is the toothed ring on the back of the hub/bearing.....

[tonyppe]

so they are interchangeable?

Yes
