If you want to do the job again in 6 months then buy it. To get the same parts from Peugeot will cost around £50. What does that tell you about the quality.
#5: Re: will this bearing kit do Author: rick-gti, Location: welshpool, mid walesPosted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 5:07 am ---- so not really worth purchasing that then.
is that just for one side or both?
#6: Re: will this bearing kit do Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 5:14 am ---- Just one side.
For things like that, it's always better going to the dealer. Might cost a bit more, but at least you know that it's made from real metal and not just been machined out of any old scrap.

#8: Re: will this bearing kit do Author: D4NTP, Location: Not Leeds or its surrounding areas!Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 5:41 am ---- The dealer parts for that job are a fair bit dearer. I wouldn't buy cheap bearings for anything. They aren't a component that you can get away with a cheap version of!
If i remember correctly you need two different sized bearings to do both sides of the axle.
#9: Re: will this bearing kit do Author: rick-gti, Location: welshpool, mid walesPosted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 5:45 am ---- i will get my mechanic to get them for me, had an advisory on mot in july about small amount of play on o/s arm.
plan to lower the rear, via removing the arms as my torsion bars wont come out. so thought as im taking them off i might as well replace the bearings.
#10: Re: will this bearing kit do Author: HDI90, Location: sunny stokePosted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 6:41 am ---- Ive used that kit on my xsi did the trick , just do both sides
#11: Re: will this bearing kit do Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 7:57 am ---- Try carparts4less.co.uk ... cheaper than EuroCarParts. I've got one for an Alfa 156 on order. Someone who bought the Orbis hub kit for same car found the bearings were SKF .. and they are one of the largest manufacturers.
#12: Re: will this bearing kit do Author: smithy206, Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 9:09 am ---- Im in the bearing business, and wouldnt sell them in my shop
Get branded ones, like SKF. A bit more money, but will last longer..

They are part of ECP

My 156 bearing arrived .. Lucas part, even though it said Orbis on the web site and order! Still it was a lot cheaper than most!
