tomedwards Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Had a p2 at a dealer in Leicester recently and asked them to investigate the knocking noise coming from the front of my car. They recon its a wheel bearing about to go, and quoted me £400. I took it to a mechanic friend of mine who seconded that diagnosis, and said that he could do it for cheaper. He said he would get hold of the parts, but called to say that his supplier would only sell them direct to a dealer!? Is this unusual? Should I get it done at the dealer for £400? Or can I get hold of the stuff myself? Anyone know a good supplier? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontPanic Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Recently changed one of mine. Paid about £200 for the wheel hub assembly from JDM Performance. Took a few week to get the part though. Did the work myself, took about 3 hours to get the old one off (lower bolt was well rusty. Lots of patience involved and a can of WD40). Only took about 1 hour to put it all back together. *EDIT* Here is the link http://www.jdmperformance.co.uk/item_de ... odID=59533 Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thats a great price for a hub assembly, especially if it comes with the bearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
