Gq front wheel bearings

[Bloodyaussie]

I got my discs machined today by a mobile service and the bloke said my right bearing need nipping up so I started to pull it apart to adjust and could not figure it out... I was in a rush by this stage so could not look into it properly and it differs from my old Hilux.

I need a rebuild kit and bearings soon so am interested myself in kits??

I ordered the swivel hub kit from roadrunner offroad and will swap it out next weekend. My hubs get very hot so good timing to do everything at the same time.

I would have never thought to use marine grease but it makes sence but will marine grease hold upto the same miles as its for trailers mostly(right?)

Has anybody fitted a road runner kit? How has it stood up to wear and tear? The kit from auto parts online is a hell of a lot cheaper than what my local auto shop quoted. It's getting harder to find genuinely good quality. I've even had a pair of rear bearings on a smaller car last only 1500-2000 kilometres. Got my money back, but still...

I have used a cheaper ebay kit and found it inferior and seals leaked after a short period , may be ok if not 4wding and only driving on the road???

I've been recommended to get genuine inner axle seals as they are usually the first things to go. Around $20 ea so will get some before next weekend's job.

$20 is not to bad considering if you cheap out it can cost you a heap more

Bit of a thread dig, I'm in the market for some front wheel bearings for my GQ and after a bit of digging found these

As a few posts above, has anyone any feedback or recommendations as and alternative. Seller says made in Japan so that's a good start I would have thought...

I bought mine from online.....they are the real deal. You won't have problems with this kit.
