hi think ive got symptoms of the front wheelbearing starting to fail
whirling/whinning getting worse with increase in speed
but looking on prices. i see that at TCB they are £80 and generic £39
would there be any difference? (quality wise) as its quite a difference in price
also out of interest, how long (labour wise) would it take for a garage to change

It took a full day for an experienced GT-Four mechanic to do a front and a rear bearing on my ST205 but that was because the rear put up a bit of a fight. Personally I would fit either a genuine Toyota or a generic Blueprint bearing. Anything else I would suspect is made of finest Chinese chocolate :mrgreen:

Go for the Blueprint wheel bearing kit - you'll also need the seals as well as the bearing...

I've got a couple of spare Blueprint bearings for my ST205 so I'll dig out the part number. Not sure about the seals Kris mentions? I don't recall buying them, only the CV rubber gaiter.

Amen to that Don the rear lower most bolt for the north/south torsion bar is nearly always seized unless its been apart with someone that actually uses grease to lubricate on rebuild and the little 10mm bolts are always fun :lol:

You won`t go wrong with the blueprint kits as other people have said but just be sure its installed via a press and not a hammer or it wont last long at all whatever the brand :wink:
