Good work, are you trying to source some better aftermarket ones. If so I'd be very interested to see how you get on and if you can find a better long term option than the standard bearings.

I bought SKF aftermarket bearings. The Kit comes with the Hub bolt. But I havent changedthe bearings yet, as they have been quiet since the car was standing 2 months. :-)
