vw_golf_vr6 0 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 gsf normally sell good quality parts, i have used them quite a few times over the years for bmw parts, i also need a wheel bearing soon and they were my first thought for ordering one from Link to post Share on other sites
Samson 0 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I do use GSF quite a bit but my brother bought bearings from them recently for his Corrado and had to replace them after 6 months as they were breaking up. I would recommend going for original parts to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites

shail 0 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I used GSF bearings once, and they didn't last more than a year. Got some VW ones and they have been fine ever since. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I always use genuine bearings as they last so much longer......get part number for em from vw mate Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 have to agree, only ever used OE bearings on any of my cars after some pattern ones died after 200miles on a Nova I had years agoThe only other place I might try is WYKO BEARINGS as they might have them but cheaper and their stuff is bomb proof as they do alot of motorsport stuff Link to post Share on other sites
NicDale 0 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Sounds like OEM is worth the extar £10 a side then! Link to post Share on other sites
