MG MGF Technical - Front wheel bearing.

What is the commonality of the front wheel bearing on the F? The front nearside is making noises and I'm sure a non-franchised garage could do it for much less than a franchised one.

JFK,

Wheel bearing wear is fairly common, so I'm told. I gather that when the first MGF Cup Cars were tested, the wheel bearings lasted just a few laps and so the Cup cars had to be modified for racing.

You're not a million miles away from TechSpeed Motorsport, (Eathorpe, near Leamington Spa) who will replace your bearing much cheaper than a franchise dealer - talk to Marvin or Roy on 01926 632066.

The hub and bearing is stock Metro I believe... comes complete with drive splines, in case you ever decide to drop in another engine ;o) ;o)

Rob, I couldn't remember if it was Metro or 200. I've thought about TechSpeed but, I'd probably spend far too much on their Bilstein monotube gas dampers, polyurethane bush kit etc, etc. Mmmmmm :o)

Yep, standard Metro hubs, this is why the F has an unusual PCD size.

More info can be found on the SOS site (i recently removed one from Scarlet).
