Polar Bearings Ltd offer wheel bearings 32011 for £9.90, 32010 for £7.69.  In a plastic bag, no box, clearly from China.  Worth the risk or not????

Re: wheel bearings

I've heard of "cheap bearings" from OEM suppliers, but never that cheap! Is it really worth putting something that cheap in after doing 4 hours labour to get to the bearings themselves and put everything back together again...

Re: wheel bearings

Hi
we fitted Chinese bearings to the rollers in the mast of a ten ton fork lift ....they lasted fifty hours...false economy...for a few more pounds you will probably only have to do the replacement ONCE
