Sierra front and rear wheel bearings??
I know this may sound stupid but I can get front wheel bearing kits for £6 and rears are £20!
The race and bearing seems to be the same front to rear... Are they interchangeable?
This is probably a stupid question... 
Chris.

are they the same part number on the bearings? (as in the numbers etched onto the bearing and cup)
If so then they "ought" to be interchangeable, which is not something that I knew!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

They may well be the same - if it was a non abs car and not an estate teh part numbers are the same front and rear (JL68145/111Z), but if you are
talking about a kit you may find the seal is different.

The nut on the rear has a smaller thread than the one on the front if you are buying them in a kit. The ones I bought for my nephew's car had a
left and right hand nut in each so you could get away with buying one rear and 3 fronts if they are the same.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Thanks for that guys!
I still might get the rear bearing kit because I won't get the correct seals and maybe not the correct nut... Don't think it's worth
the risk if the difference is only about 25 quid.
Thanks again,
Chris.
