I tried to save money by buying cheep ones, I got 20k before I had to replace one again, next time Timkin.

Thanks everyone, i have changed these on a couple of other cars , so am not worried about the labour to do it. I recall reading somewhere that the L/R ones are a timkin one anyway just with a green oval on them, and mine have lasted 12 years altho only 170,000ks but i am guessing that using a proven bearing i wont be doing the next replacement job ( hopefully )..

Thanks again
