Wheel bearings

[Imola_Sid]

Having read the sticky re clicking wheel bearings, I think mine will need doing soon.

They started clicking a few weeks back and were fine again afterwards.

Seeing as I've ordered the coilovers and the mechanic will be working on the car, I'm thinking of doing the wheel bearings just in case.

AutoDoc have like a million different manufacturers for the same part. Does anyone have any good feedback on aftermarket ones they've used as I'm unsure which ones to go for.

Thanks

SKF sound like the ones to go for (also mentioned in the other thread)..

Anyone know which of these I should be going for?

The bottom one is plug'n'play, the top one will require the hub transferring from the old one, which may need a press.

Plug and play it is!

Thanks Jim, as always super helpful

I typed "may need a press" because I don't have access to ElsaWin at the moment. Going from older Audis, the hubs in them are a tight interference fit in the bearing and require a fairly hefty hydraulic press to push them out and to fit them to new bearings. If you do it wrong you wreck the bearing before you get the hub fully home.
