SNR Bearing Vs. Genuine

[Jimbob 2705]

Need a new front wheel bearing for my cup packed 182, so the larger one (84mm OD)

Am I best off getting a Genuine one, or is SNR an OE Equivalent?

Only reason I ask I'd normally go Genuine but I can get the SNR from Euro Car Parts a day sooner which would be a big help, even if it'd cost me a fiver more

I've had SNR bearings and didn't notice any difference to the Renault ones. Buy the SNR ones as they are a lot cheaper and work just as well.

Paint the hubs while you are at it. If you have the time buy some bilt hamber deox-c crystals and leave them in a bucket of it a day or two to get rid of all the rust first before painting.

Perfect, thanks for that @optical

I'd love to tidy it and paint it up but unfortunately I'm a bit stuck as I need the car done ASAP (daily driver)

Also interestingly, I can get a genuine one cheaper than I can find a SNR one anywhere, so will probably just hold out the extra day and wait for the Genuine one

Are genuine in a Renault box.

That's what I noticed way back when I did them, compared them side by side with ones from ecp.

I read that as well.

I have genuine ones and haven't had an issue, but if you can get SNR ones cheaper, go for that. But seems not going by your post.

Went SNR as it worked out the same price and could get it a day cheaper, all sorted now!

Thanks all!
