Realistically the costs involved to manufacture a custom bearing would be eye wateringly expensive.
And tbh, I don’t want to be the only person that can rebuild this box.
Hello folks.
Unfortunately I have to inform you that the large diff bearing has become NLA from Renault. The manufacturer of the bearing is SNR and they have discontinued the bearing also.
There’s still some available to buy and I have purchased a few, but it’s getting closer now more than...
Well I’d say it’s worth rebuilding, but I would say that as i rebuild them! Lol!
