Z's Just failed its MOT on back bearing n/s forked ,o/s side not that bad but getting there ,the bloke at the MOT place said the bearings are about £130 each and £40 to fit them each.Does that sound fair or is there somewhere cheaper ?

Wez I got a back bearing for 80 quid last year from a motor factor, made by HSK i think, cant say about price for fitting as i fitted it myself.

OOPS forgot to say its not just a bearing that is supplied, the bearing carrier comes with the kit also, all thats needed is the hub removed, the old bearing track chiseled off the hub, then the hub pressed into the new bearing/carrier, probably thats why the bearing is so expensive.

 

Cheers John Crisp

John was it big job to fit them.not started on the phone calls yet will to the local shop tomorrow

Wez

 

It wasnt too bad to fit, just getting the old track off and i was lucky i had access to a press to fit the hub into the bearing and also my rear discs were not too worn so i got the disc off without too much grief.

 

Get yourself a manual on CD form for torque's etc...well worth it...i got mine from Luke at the Z Centre.

Mine failed too. Blody highbeam indicator light on dash didnt come on and the car decided it was a great time to play smoke machine. So now have to **** about in the cold and rain with teh PCV valves

also try Mike Feeney for genuine wheel bearings

PCV valves in this weather no thanks , it was shit job in the summer :smash:

Still not made any calls yet last minute shopping mot only runs out mid jan

The bearing in not just the bearing it comes with a large back plate too.
