I went to the motorfactors to get new bearings for my uprights, but they only had complete hubs listed. Seems this is fairly common.

has onyone who has used this donor vehicle managed to source just the bearings alone?

Cheers

moss europe will also sell them to you - but shop around as they can be very expensive

ok,that proves they are available seperately!

Unfortunately its the same money as the complete rear hub

Still too much money with the hub? Seems a lot to me!

yeah,wheel bearings are normally sub £20 a side lol, but this is a silly japanese car and willprobably cost me an arm and a leg!

I still have the nut and circlip, so even if I could just get a bearing the right size....
