renegade Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 been asked many times before, been picked up on MOT play in the rear wheel bearings as about £100 per bearing . as I think the hubs will need changing,is Toyota the only ones that do replacement?

Iky Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Import car parts seems to be the cheapest for these. http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts?cat=89&sub=1354&sec=1562&var=39&dc=y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATT RR Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hi mate, I bought one from import car parts the other day and one from automotive bearings limited, see pic below, they are both identical in every way, same markings, numbers, writing etc....I literally cant tell them apart! ICP is the cheapest place to get them from, £49 if I remember rightly! I have attached a picture of both! I don't know but they must obviously buy from the same source, just arrived in different box's! I have not fitted them yet, but they are described on a reputable traders website (who also sell them) as, and I quote "a huge saving over the Toyota item and top quality" so that's good enough for me to give them a try. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcar Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I have automotive rear bearings on mine and all good so far! Been on there for a good two years or more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glanza_Mike Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 This is a very helpful thread! Mine were also picked up in the last MOT, are they easy enough to change on the rear? I haven't done rears before only fronts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't done rears before only fronts. Only caveat is the ABS Sensor, if it is rusted in the hub , you need to be careful not to damage it as they are $$$ Mine are ok but I did not want to disturb it so I disconnected the ABS loom via the boot and pulled the cable through Once you have the usual tooling it is the same as any other wheel bearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugen_power Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Thought I'd bump this instead of starting another one. I'm doing all 4 bearings at the moment and contacted brt, those have jumped in price! £85 each now. Has anyone had any experience with the febest bearings? Can get all 4 for £110 but I don't know much about them. When I spoke to them they claim to be OEM quality and made in Germany but then after doing a bit of searching people seem to think they import Chinese stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) I had a pattern wheel bearing which I replaced, it was better but still making a noise. I found out that the hub needed replacing too so I had to buy another wheel bearing and new hub. When we were pushing the wheel bearing in, half way through I bloody forgot to put the backing plate back in:banghead: .. So I pushed the bearing back out and placed the backing plate back on and still not right I must of damaged it getting the bearing back out I need ANOTHER bearing lol but not sure weather to get another hub lol Edited April 5, 2016 by mplavery (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugen_power Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 When you're saying hub do you mean the the steering knuckle or the other bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Hub in the pic bud, I have been told ideally your best to replace it when doing a wheel bearing Edited April 5, 2016 by mplavery (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Just got a discounted quote from Toyota for a rear wheel bearing, not the kit just the bearing, £265. That did include postage and VAT. Decided to buy one, as a bearing kit, off eBay for £59. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugen_power Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I know it's madness tbh, tempted by the febest ones still. Just can't find anyone with much experience, few people seem to be using their crank pulleys though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATT RR Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 following my post earlier in this thread I had mine fitted last week, got them from import car parts for £49 each, qualitywise they appear to be very good! Also they were an incredible improvment on the stock ones I've just had removed ! Felling fine on the road, time will tell but anything to report and I'll post up here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
