Hi - first post here! :) I think my front left wheel bearing needs replacing - there is an audible humming noise from that area when driving over 40mph. I've looked on GSF car parts and found two types of bearing kit, one Ԛ£19.50 (part no: B40020A) the other Ԛ£39.75 (part no: B40020). Does anyone know the difference between these kits? Also is the hub nut included in these kits?

Cheers,

Andy

the ABS cars use a bearing with a trigger wheel machined into them, they are more Ԛ£Ã”šÃ‚£ so maybe thats the answer dude ?

normally come with a hub nut, dont forget you'll need a 36mm socket for these bad boys 8O

Aren't the 'A' Suffix items, usually just alternative / cheaper versions of the same part?
