Question

Hi there,
can anyone recommend a good place to get a rear wheel bearing changed on my MY99 in the Hampshire area? I'm new to Scoobies and I don't really want to go and give loads of money to a main dealer. Any help would be appreciated.....Thanks

At least the main dealer may fit the upgraded parts ie roller bearing instead of standard ball unit, plus they will fit a shaft conversion to help keep the water out of the inner seals, as that is what has probably failed once removed.
Think again ? or it will need replacing again in around 18mths

Thanks Scoobyslut,

good call, hadn't really thought about mods for common problems etc. I'll call the local dealer to see if this included. Cheers, Neal.
