A beam bearing kit is around £100. Yes

As for fitting, it is quite a long job depending on how knackered the internal of the beam tube is and also the state of the pins which the bearings ride on. At a guess, you will probably need new pins as well, which bumps the price up somewhat.

3 degrees of rear camber is a little too much, so the bearings are probably on their way out. Yes

no, a beam bearing kit is around £35!

std camber is just under 1.5 degrees, at 3 I;d say they were well past it, need new arm shafts, and if you dont catch it soon the crossmember shot.

Really? The last time we bought some from Pug they were about £65 and that was a while ago now, I naturally expected the price to have shot up like it seems to have done with all other dealer supplied parts...
