VR wheel bearing hubs

There are shops over here in NZ, Ill have to wait till Monday now for them.
At a push I could go get a second hand genuine pair again, but in my mind they may or may not last.

Repco over here retail there hub at $465 each

And there is a good chance those over prices Repco hubs are still chinese made...

Well this is true. I asked a guy on the phone what brand of bearing it would be, but there was no direct answer.

Any one had luck with gme, or bearing wholesalers, or even auckland bearing distribution

The original units were made in Italy of all places.

All the aftermarket ones you buy are all coming from China but in all different boxes with different graphics printed on them. Basically all these are crap and that's why I hunt down good originals which last for nearly ever if driven on sensibly.

If it wasn't for the New Zealand factor I'd hunt some good ones down for you here in Adelaide where we probably still have the highest VR~VS population. I was in Sydney last week and seen all of 10 genuine Holden's on the road and quite a few other badge engineered things like Captiva's etc, but I only saw one VS and it was one of the 300 SS 1999 utes in pristine condition.

So yes these cars are rapidly dropping in numbers and Adelaide surely still has the most of them in captivity.

Hi there, I finally got a pair of replacement hubs from the parts shop New.
These apparently came from Auckland bearings in NZ. (Who knows exactly where from aye)
Part number AB3130 - non abs.

So I'll see if they last a distance - 40,000kms or 2 years.

Fingers crossed
Pete

I would use FAG out of the aftermarket brands. At least it carries the name of a bearing manufacturer.

Those are ABS Hubs and the OP requires NON ABS units which are generally cheaper.
