Which rear wheel bearings from euros

[S.Diesel]

Hi all

I need to order rear wheel bearings, slightly confused which to buy. Can someone confirm for me, which Ones I should order from euros car parts please?

If it was me I would be buying a set of rear disks which already have the bearings pressed in. You are looking at £99 for genuine renault disks with the bearings pressed in. That way you have nice new disks at the same time too.

Ge the rear brakes guide in the guide section and do it all yourself, takes an hour or 2.5 if you havent done it before.

the non-sport one is the same fitment.
I bought discs and had the bearings pressed in. Saved a huge amount of money.

Thanks for the feedback, the disks and pads look like they are at a good standard, previous had not down many miles on them. This is why was considering the bearings being completed.

Then isn't the usual reason for premature bearing wear that the last person who swapped the discs out lost or forgot to replace the shim/washer behind the disc/bearing??
George@RTR should have a bunch of them in stock.

Yep or not torqued properly / non-genuine discs.

I had non genuine discs from euros for £10 a side with non genuine bearings in (£7 a side) and J&R abs rings. Lasted for absolutely yonks with no problems at all. The rear brakes are used so little you really needn't have anything special. Defo do need to have that 175nm torque setting though and the washer fitted the right way round!

I know Fred@BTM preferred to fit genuine, saying that it was pot luck whether they lasted or not.

From the trouble I had on a Mk3 Mondeo from a non genuine bearing (it was missing an ABS ring, a pretty big problem when they are internal on those) I have gone genuine after that.

If you're fitting it it's not like you are throwing cash away either...
