Just received my bits from ecp and they have given me 2 different makes of wheel bearings, I researched before and found that skf ones ate the ones to get but they have sent me one skf and one snr!

I checked to see if the bearings have the same part number on the bearings them self but they are different so not from the same manufacturer, can any tell me if they have had problems with either makes?

I can't see it being a problem fitting different makes but would have preferred the same

Skf are the ones to have, generally most makes of front bearings are ok though, Ive used snr before and they've been fine.

Thanks, just didn't know if it's worth the hassle and time waiting to take back the snr one and wait for them to get another skf one in

Skf are spot on, if you've time send it back for another skf one, at least it won't bug you knowing there different, it would me, ecp are f**kers for that, infact I belive ecp parts are s**te, I've had a few for the mondo and every time they don't seem to last long.

SKF are probably the best out there for bearings so anything you use with a bearing on the car, try and get SKF.

Anyone know the actual SKF part number for front wheel bearings? Found these, which give different part numbers-
