That's a rear, thought you needed fronts?

Wheel bearings are a little more important than just tyre scrubbing... if they're shagged they need to be replaced asap. A wheel bearing failure can be very dangerous.

Stick with original Koyo bearings, don't go China sh*t on important safety parts...

Nope fronts were replaced 5000km ago. I need the rears.

Any link for the Koyo ones for the rears?

Hmm, think the rears are only available as a complete hub assembly...

Try camskill or get onto Ben ;)

Ill send him an email and see how it goes.

Camskill is too expensive...

EDIT: after some snooping I found the company that makes these (JT bearings). This company might be different to "J&T" as stated on the ebay page. But google returned only one company in China by that name variation.

heres the link

EDIT again: I have also emailed JT bearings to further suss these out

I would not be putting chinese bearings in my car FULL STOP.

We have done trials here at the factory with the chinese bearings and none have lasted any longer than a few months. We will never use them again.

mitsu where? i paid 210 for a rear!
Rears are different. They are integrated into the hub & you can't just replace the bearing, you need to replace the whole hub.
Ah, come to think of it, it may have been a rear...

Yep, was a facelift rear from Camskill. Different from 97 on apparently.
