Phase 1 Front wheel bearings

[SmokeyTheBandit]

One of my wheel bearings died this morning.
Now i normally would go to the dealer but the price difference in bearings is EXTREMELY high.

I want to buy some decent bearings so am thinking of going for some SNR (OEM renault afaik) and SKF.
But i need to know the right type/size for the fase 1 because is know its different then the ph2/3/cup.

Can you guys confirm that this is the correct size part ?

SKF : Part nr. VKBA 3596

SNR : Part nr. r155.16

Both have these dimensions.

Width : 37
Inner diameter : 37
Outer diameter : 72

The only difference is the trophy/182 cup ones.
All 172 ph1/ph2/cup are the same.(and non cup 182)

 

[bozothenutter]

and for the 182 cup the number is VKBA3615

 

[SmokeyTheBandit]

Ok so these are the correct part numbers ?

two different numbers....
VKBA 3615
VKBA 3596

i'd go with the 3596

Thanks ! Im realy carefull with those sites as 99% of the stuff doesn't actually fit on the car.
Its fine if you have a regular Clio though.
But to be fair they had it right this time

Ordered some SKF VKBA 3596's.
Was able to get them for a VERY good price (€26 each -> 20 pounds) from germany.

Good thing i'm dutch then....

 

[SmokeyTheBandit]

Didn't notice it all
Als ze de mijne maar eerder uitleveren ... :rasp:

Noticed the 182 cup ones are allot les interesting to buy then the "normal" ones.

 

[bozothenutter]

yeah...normal prices

SNR kit R155.72 for the cup pack. VKBA 3615 for the dirty SKF kit.

 

[Mr R.]

I bought SKF bearings from euro car parts.

 

[treemanx]

I'd have gone with the brand that invented the active sensor bearing technology personally. No bias of course.

But which is the better bearing?

 

[treemanx]

Both are good quality, so whichever you find cheaper. Renault did own SNR, so most of the ranges they were the OEM.
