martinh 2 Posted February 14, 2017 Can anyone confirm that this is the correct rear wheel bearing for a 1.9 gti? Unsure of brand so don't know if it will be any good?! Alternatively does anyone have a link to some? Need a pair but want to order online as they need to be delivered elsewhere! http://m.gsfcarparts.com/413pc0460 Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted February 14, 2017 I would be wary of ordering GSF bearings online, their Vetech brand are crap, you are better going to the store and specifically asking for a branded bearing. All the recent bearings I have fitted have been either Firstline or Premier packaging containing typically oem manufacturer bearings like SNR Timken and Koyo, no problems so far and reasonable on price.

toolie72 67 1 Cars Posted February 14, 2017 Worth ringing dealers to see how much they'd be Gives a rough idea of "quality" price-I was cheaper years ago buying skf from Peugeot rather than the bearing wholesalers?!?!? Only the price of a phone call (once you've told the young oik what a 205 is) Always amazes me how some bearings/driveshafts can be rubbish when you consider the massive tool up costs involved (you'd make it right wouldn't you?)

hoodygoodwood 70 3 Cars Posted February 14, 2017 There are plenty on Ebay , just had a look and they start around £30 but tend to be unbranded , there are SKF bearings at around £55 inc p+p which are boxed as various aftermarket brands .Its worth paying the extra providing the seller sends you what is pictured in the ad - zoom in on the picture and look for SKF or 'made in France' marked on the race .There is a special turned spacer that goes between bearing and trailing arm , these rarely come in the kit so make sure yours are not damaged during removal . ABS rear bearing/hubs look identical apart from the serrations but I am not sure if they will fit a non ABS car . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
