I'm about to do the rest of mine so I don't get any more suprises

Howdy Treads , Rang up the guys at all 4x4 and they have sent off a front stub axle for me . Should be here friday at the latest . Best thing was it was only $88. My bearings should be here tomorrow for both front wheels . And then once i have fixed the bearings up i'll be doing the the timing belt as well ..... Then all i have to do is that bloody gearbox ...... may have to rob a bank soon .

Geez that's alright! I'm sure mine was a bit over $100

If you don't mind telling, how much did you get a pair of bearing kits for? And who from? All the local mobs up here want $80-85 PER WHEEL!

These guys seem reasonable to: Land Rover parts - HUB SEALS & BEARINGS - DISC 1 but still have to pay for shipping

Hi Mate . I got the bearings and seal from Four Wheel Drives - Land Rovers New and Used Spare Parts - Home . It was just over $60 per set plus about $10 postage . I got bearings to do both front wheels .

Hey Fusion,

Did you get any warning before the bearings blew? noise, vibration, etc?

My ABS light came on not long before mine went bang. I'm guessing because the bearing was already coming apart and allowing some movement in the rotor Hence the need for a new stub axle

I got the Timken bearings to do mine for $40/wheel from my local bearing shop (only changed rears as they were muddy rusty, front were fine). Plus the cost of RTC3511 seals of which the front seals came from FWD and the rear ones from Paddocks.
