£150 for one bearing?. Is it made of gold?

Imo remove them if you can yourself and then take the complete bearing to somewhere like eriks and get them to match it. I bet it will cost a hell of a lot less for the same thing!

No you numpty bearing is under a£100 then you have the seal kit aswell which is £40 plus a tenner fitting it togther for an oe bearing thats decent money not a pattern part that will last 5 mins

remove them yourself - hmmm not quite as easy as that my man! - search rear lateral arm bolt removal first then if you think its for you give yourself plenty of time and heat ,youl need new bolts and bushes , nasty ****** of a job - in fact the worst

the sound is like a constant wirring plus i asked my brother in law who is a mechanic to take it for a drive and listen and he came back and said your rear wheel bearing are on there way out

Ok i admit i have never done a scoob one! Or really looked under mine to see what the crack is.

But, you would be surprised at who supplies the bearings for main dealers etc. euro csr parts have a bearing kit for £65, but of course may not be the exact one for the op's car.

For instance bmw charge £1400 for a valeo flywheel and clutch assembly for a 5 series bmw, the exact same valeo kitmcan be had from euro for a shade under £500....
