Carl 3 Report post Posted May 4, 2005 Gus, I bought a SKF bearing a few weeks ago and stuck it in, I only paid $144 (127+gst) for it simply because I somehow managed to convince the young lady on the phone that I had been quoted that price...from Ollie Bit late now but...haggle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted May 4, 2005 yeah i did.....but it was a guy and he wasnt having any of it.....did you only buy one? i find it odd how they more expensive than dealer... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 3 Report post Posted May 4, 2005 Yes I only bought one, I haggled her after she quoted me their retail price of $226 which made me almost choke considering the oem ones are $180!!! I was talking to Rachael at SKF in Lower Hutt, interestingly enough I wasn't charged for the courier fee so I ended up paying $144.16 for the bearing and the courier to my home!!! I think what you really need to do (for anyone in needing a bearing) is to find someone who gets trade discount from these places as the markup is horrendous, either that or use what BS skills you have to haggle a better price.

petone 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2005 If you jack up the wheel try and shake it from top to bottom, if theres movement your bearing is probably gone, also worn bearings can be noisy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
