Charged VR 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Replaced both front hubs on my VR and bought them from G/S/F, Just remenber that you need a wheel bearing as you have to press these apart to replace the hub. If you do decide to replace the hub make sure you check the new one has the abs pickup fitted or transfer your old one!!! I would say replace with new as the parts are only cost me £40 from G/S/F and if you buy second hand you might end up replacing the bearing anyway. Hope this helps Link to post Share on other sites
