jb9999 0 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Front or rear? I've just done both the rears on the wife's golf and they were about £13 each. Link to post Share on other sites
spanky 0 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I Bought two rear sets about two months ago for £23 (for both) Then found out I only needed to tighten the old ones ~ never mind always handy to have spares. Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Front Bearings are about £30+VAT each from VW IIRC...and don't use anything else, it's a false economy. You'll just be changing them again 2 years down the line. Same with the rear ones. Stick to VAG.It's an involved job doing the fronts. Hubs and bearing housings have to come off and once you do that, the geometry needs resetting, so more cost. Link to post Share on other sites

DeathBoB 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I am not sure about the rears as I had them done with the new brakes. The fronts I am paying £26 each. My car is in at this very monent getting them replaced. I am paying £78 a side in total to have a new front bearing fitted, then another £25 for tracking/camber adjustment.Deathbob Link to post Share on other sites
