Hi All,

Has anyone used this company for wheel bearings? I'm currently looking for fronts and came across them doing a search, they seem to be selling top branded bearings at keen prices.

Thanks for the reply Covert, have sent them a message asking which manufacturers bearings they are supplying in the kits I'm after. £23.40 + vat, if the quality is good I will go with them.

I've used Simply Bearings quite a few times as well, faultless service and as Covert says, lots of odd sizes and materials too.

Did you find out the manufacturers of the bearings being supplied?

Thanks

Timken bearings are good quality but are fairly pricey at £47 per wheel

I have lots of info on bearings :D just trying to understand what make the ones from the supplier quoted are.....
I have used Timken and Minispares own on my cars up to now. Never had a problem, but some of this is down to installation (clean, tight, lubricated)

Hi All, sorry for the late reply.

 

Flying Scot yes did get in touch with them and their kits have unbranded bearings in them which to be honest put me off they could not tell me who the bearing manufacturer was. Have since managed to find a Timken front kit on EBay for £15 and a Timken rear kit for a tenner so a result there I feel, just looking for another one of each now.

The timkin bearing kits can be purchased for around £35 from your local bearing supplier that sells timkin
