Wheel Bearings

[rossi 0]

Can anyone tell by looking at the pic of the bearing on this auction, if the wheel bearing is suited for a 1.6 GTI (drums) or a 1.9 (discs). I'm needing one for a 1.9

 

There is a typo in the description somewhere as it says 'Peugeot 205 1.9 litre GTi (With Rear Drum Brakes without ABS)'

looks like its for drums but you could e-mail and check

1.9 GTi rear wheel bearings are integral to the rear hub, and hence you buy a complete hub and bearing assembly.

Thanks, never knew they were integrated (Y)

Yep definatly looks like for drums from the description.

As Anthony said. The 1.9 ones come as a hub, and are a lot more exspensive.

 

Last set i got were about £30 each from GSF. Genuine are a fortune last i heard.

Really? I had a rear wheel bearing go on my 1.9 and I got a new bearing from Neat and had a garage press it in.

 

Although they then failed the same bearing on the MOT a year later, which made me dubious.

Well, maybe I should expand that slightly - all the 1.9 wheel bearings I've seen have always been supplied as a complete hub/bearing assembly, and that is also how they are supplied from Peugeot. I guess someone may do the bearing alone, as obviously it must be a seperately available item that's pressed into the hub at some point in the manufacturing stage, but I'm not aware of any suppliers that do supply the bearing individually (except Neat one assumes from what you've mentioned)

Id have to look to be sure. But i dont remember them being a conventional bearing ?

They have a front and back, inner and outer races. But theres no outer case to them is there ? Like you would normally see.

 

In my mind, theres not a case to be pressed in or out. Just the races and the front and back retainers. Where the stub axle sits.

[GLPoomobile 958]

Well I'm really confused then.

 

I remember that at the time (about 2 years ago), I tried to remove the 'bearing' myself, following the Haynes discription. I've just looked in Haynes and what I had read was referring to removing the hub/drum What a twat. No wonder I made a mess of it.

 

But I definately got what I believe was a replacement bearing from Neat. Was about £30 IIRC. Came in a little box. How big is a complete hub and bearing on a 1.9?

 

It makes me wonder if I was sold something else, and that the garage I took it to never bothered to fit it

if it was about £30 that sounds like a 1.9 hub, the bearings are far cheaper at about £10-12 pounds.

 

from a quick look at a 1.9 bearing removed there's no separate race, its machined into the hub, if it was pressed in I would imagine there to be a securing clip, but there isn't.

That's the fella aint it?

Yeah thats a 1.9 bearing / hub assembly.

[welshpug 1,678]

nearly, the description is correct but the picture is of an early 306/zx ABS hub, apart from that identical

[supersub14 1]

i wondered why there was an extra teethed bit round the edge of that hub. Now i know
