Reanult 19 16v Wheel Hubs/Bearings

Level 6 User Joined: 31 Aug 2005 Posts: 141

I have a reanult 19 16v hatch that I have spent around 5k in repairs alone! Including new engine, gearbox, ABS, cooling etc... Now the bloody front bearings have gone and I am desperately after a set of decent front hubs as I believe the housing on mine are knackered. Also after a decent rear axle with hubs if possible

Greatful for any info.

Thanks

Cheers mate! Very Happy

I just got qouted Â£155 for a set! just laughed at em. Did you scrap it long ago? Should have scrapped mine long ago! Trouble is I have spent so much on repairs I'l never get any of the money back. Nice motors though

i scrapped it about 2 weeks ago, i basicly scrapped it as a rolling shell, engine came out of it for my other one, i removed anything i could whilst leaving it mobile to be able to tow it down there lol.

Cheers mate your a legend. Drove my car into work today, think my wheel is gonna come off. The bearings are to the point now where the dash is vibrating when I turn left! Think I should probably stop driving it.

Cheers

Yes you should, you don't want to be in a car when a bearing collapses.....

Are you the guy with the blue 19 I saw in Benfleet the other day, and chatted to at Vic House roundabout?

Yeah thats me! Cheers for the tip mate. I was getting qouted silly money for new hubs. All I need now is MOT and tax.
