I had seen a few different bearings for sale at shows and i wasn't sure which one i need to buy.
So, i need to know what is the correct bearing i need to buy to replace the old one. The car is a 1990 racing green.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

That said it's probably worth getting one from a reputed trader if buying from a show. I got one from Minimine.
You can buy Timken type bearings which are of better load bearing design and will last longer, however on a road car I'm not sure if it is worth paying the extra for these.

Is everyone listening carefully?
Good.
Timken wheel bearings are standard on all disk braked Mini's except the original Mini Cooper.
Ball bearings were used before that.
You must use Timken type taper roller wheel bearings.
If the noise is continuous it's most likely the wheel bearing. CV joints only knock when turning corners in most cases.

Does this sound about right for it being a bearing?
Thanks

As for the noise. the only suggestion I can give is get the car up on axle stands (front wheels off the groud), run the engine in first and listen.. first with wheels full left lock, and right lock then straight ahead..
