2007 NC Front Wheel Bearings

Postby Agro67 » Mon Jan 13, 2014 6:54 pm

Hi All,
Hoping to get some advice from the forum.
My mechanic has advised me that front wheel bearings need replacing.
Are these seperate bearings on in a Hub kit?.
Any recommendations on where to buy these from in or around Brisbane would be a great help.
Cheers - Agro

they are a hub kit

if you can source some RX8 hubs, they bolt straight up and are much stronger

As Regie said, get the RX-8 hub but it must be the later model RX-8 after 2009 for the ABS sensor connection to match.

The hub is a full sealed unit so you can't change the bearings and from personal experience, DON'T get an after market hub. I had ABS and fitment problems with the two I tried.
