Title: Wheel Bearing Recommendations
Post by: Dave Angel on July 2, 2024, 19:20
Hi all,

As per title any recommendations for brands to use? I see Toyota ones are quite expensive but have had issues with cheaper non-oem ones in the past (1 trackday!) so looking for some good makes to compare?

Cheers in advance for any recommendations...

I would ring TCB parts to see what options they sell. They dont stock things that they dont trust or recommend.

I've had a TCB wheel bearing fail prematurely, actually.

I recommend OEM or Koyo.

SKF are OEM suppliers for most manufacturers. I have one here if interested, PM me.

I've just last week fitted 2 x SKF on my Abarth 500, they're the ones recommended by their owners group for similar reasons to JB21.

FAG bearings are very good
