Front bearings

[Louis]

Looking at buying some front bearings as a precautionary measure as I am getting the clio on some ramps this weekend. Is genuine the way to go from RPD, or is there a cheaper equivalent of same quality? I know to avoid the cheapest stuff from euro, but if there's a bearing that is identical but much cheaper just because it's not 'renault' it makes sense to go that route.

I think the genuine ones are SNR

Euros do the SNR bearings, can be had for a good price using some of their discount codes.

If your 182 is cup packed, you'll need the bigger of the two SNR bearings.

Thanks for the replies, is it this one?

I can get them to 108 through carparts4less which seems decent! Gonna fire the part code into google and have a gander for any other places selling them.

 

[Louis]

Which are better? SKF or SNR?

I've seen mixed views on both, then other people saying they're the same. Has anyone used 'mister-auto' before for parts too? They can do SNR bearings, for 83.80 posted. Seems good value!

 

[Daz...]

I thought they were pretty much the same.

I've used mister-auto, had no problems.

Depends how you look at it.
ECP are more than the genuine bagged ones from RPD.
Mark ups in the supply chain are incredible, everyone adds 100%.
As long as you pay by credit card, you are safe.
If it`s being delivered by My Herpes, it could be a long time coming, or in your next door neighbours recycling bin.
