Hub

[Rory]

Is by any chance the hub and wheel bearing on the clio 1.8 16v the same as the 5gt tubo? bit of a long shot i know but im to tight to buy a wheel bearing and ive got a spare hub for the 5

[Justin..]

a wheel bearing is like less than £20 :roll:

[Rory]

i know but i dont get paid till the 25th and the noise is driving me mad

[Rich]

no its nowhere near the same

[Rory]

worth a try, thanks

[u33db]

no its nowhere near the same

Eh?!

They look identical!

[Rory]

will the hub off a clio RT be the same? the breakers near me have one for £12

[BRUN]

your seriously going to spend £12 on something second hand when a new version wont cost much more... ?

[kenny]

Rory, send me your mail address, I'll paypal you a tenner, you will have made £2 profit. :lol:

[AndyFielder]

bloody hell, people get tighter by the second!

[BristolSam16v]

Much easier just banging another hub on for £12 than faffing about with pressing the old bearing out etc plus a new bearing will cost around that plus the cost of having to get it pressed in/out. Half the time the hub will be shafted from the old bearing anyway.

no... bearings fail.. if you put on a 2nd hand one it will fail in much less time than a new one would.

Failed bearings dont damage hubs, thats a load of bollox

This is serious fools economy.

My garage will do a pair of bearings for £10 cash for for a tank of fuel you can change them both and know you wont ever need to do it again!

Whys bearings damaging hubs aload of old bollox?

[MAXIBOY]

they can damage hubs if they spin due to failing or poor workmanship due to incorrect fitting.
