Morning

Been quoted £60 + vat for a bearing and £160 + vat for the bearing flange. Plus fitting on top. Does that sound about right?

£350 odd quid to change a bearing sounds a lot.

Is there somewhere online where these can be ordered and does anyone have the part numbers please? Can't get on the wiki page at the mo.

Much appreciated.

Rear wheel.
Managed to get on the wiki page to get these part numbers.
Hub: Febi/Bilatein 19090
Bearing: SKF VKBA3575
Both about £25 + vat from Andrew Page.
Asked garage who quoted which parts they use and they replied, 'Ones supplied by Noble??'.
Are they different?
Thanks
Sam

late 2012 I paid Andrew Page £153 for pair of hubs and bearings (numbers as per your post) and 3.25 hours labour for fitting (local Porsche specialists) so £400 for both sides.

Save yourself some potential heartache and buy genuine ford ones .. Much better fit and quality bearing in my experience ...

might be worth putting that , including the Ford number if you have it, on the wiki?
