Freelander 2 Wheel bearing

I need a wheel bearing replaced, front drivers side. Does anyone have a recommendation of a good quality brand, other than genuine LR?
Thank you 🙂

Hello All, thank you to everyone who replied to my query.
I’ve gone with Borg and Beck from Parts in Motion. Just hope it’s the right one 🤞🏻

I just put in a front ds Timken and it was silky smooth and genuine. OEM was Moog but they have gone down hill, IMO. SKF is also a really good make. I'd have no issue getting another Timken but they are counterfeits out there.

I sourced one off E-bay earlier this year for front offside, lasted 3 months then the dreaded whirr whirr returned. Got two bearings from LR Spares Speke, Liverpool, Britpart labelled and did both fronts, with new hub bolts. Needed my 10 tonne press to remove the old bearings and refit the new ones. 3 months on and both good.

Britpart and Borg and beck do not make bearings they are simply sourced from a bearing manufacturer unless you checked the bearing face for the manufacturer you could have put a SKF bearing back in but the reality is if it works it works.

The bearing manufacturers you can trust are SKF Timken and GKN all the information you need is on the original bearing, the outside diameter is on the outer ring and the inner ring gives the inside diameter.
With those two figures you can look up any bearing on line. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

hi
How to diagnose a wheel bearing and tell it apart from the IRD ? in my case, I hear a sort of whining noise that seems to come from the front. It’s not proportional to acceleration, and it fades away when there’s no load means when I release the accelerator pedal. Thx

Does it change in sound volume if you steer slightly left or right while on the accelerator?

No.The volume stays constant and doesn’t change when steering when on accelerator. Barely noticeable actually and sounds like the noise made by worn tires (but my tires are Ok)

Thumbs Up
