Wheel bearing price at garage?

[Jay_G]

Hi guys

Does anyone know how much garages charge for a wheel bearing? It's for a 172.

Cheers

Phone round garages and ask?

It's £11 for a new rear one for my car on ebay. I'm just going to order one and have a bash myself.

I'm waiting for two to get back to me, another said £185! Just wondered if people had experience..

I was quoted £170. That was just for new bearings pressed into the old discs.
I just bought discs and bearings for £69 and done it my self.

Front or rear?

 

[hipwell]

if its rear then just buy some new genuine disks as they come with new bearings pressed in and are only about 80 quid.

if its front then the bearing can be had for a tenner give or take a few quid then maybe an hour or so labour to get somebody to press the old ones out and the new ones in.

Good luck going for a front bearing that only costs £10.

Huh? It's a tenner for a rear bearing kit. I drive a 1.4, it's on rear drums.

sorry i mentioned a tenner aswel mate, seems i was a tad out but you can get quality front bearings for the 182/172 for around 30 quid a bearing.

See above mate.

Fronts from me are £80 per side fitted using 'F.A.G' bearing kits. Rears... Replace the discs with genuine parts as above as they're pressed in as an assembly.

Never use cheap bearings as its a false economy. I've never seen them as cheap as £10 though... I wouldn't trust that running a bike wheel.
