Swivel Bearings - is this beyond reuse?

Discussion in 'Megane Discussion' started by essIII, May 10, 2017.

  1. I bought a pair of swivel hubs off eBay to refurb and fit to my car. One was particularly rusty, to the point where I had to cut the swivel bearing off the inner race/turret.

    Having got the turret out would you avoid reusing this?

  2. Someone makes new ones of those, and they aren't that much - Mark something at Diamond Motors I think - it's what I would suggest (and should've done).
     
  3. I didn't re-use mine and mine were no where near as bad as that. I stuck some of Mick from Diamond motors ones in mine.
     
  4. Do you have a contact number for mick or do you call Diamond motors ands ask for mick?

    I am after some and been quoted £165 each from an engineering firm local to me. i need to refurb my swivel bearing as they are shot and noisy at low speed, steering is imprecise and sticky/notchy
     
  5. Yeah, don't use those :smirk:
     
  6. Thanks for this will give a call, i have the bearing already, just need the inserts really.

    Sorry to hijake the thread also.
     
  7. Cheers fellas, as I suspected really. I'll get in touch with Mick, thanks for the useful info!
