Mine are stuffed and after a quick rebuild of second hand ones this arvo I'm wondering what are the best ones for a daily driver?
Also what should I expect to pay? ringing around this arvo I was quoted $65-$70-$90-$100 per side :shock:
They are ball bearing ones at the moment but is it worth going to roller bearings and whats the difference?

put tapered or roller bearings in, they'll last a lot longer.. $60-$70 a side probably if you did it yourself.

They will cross fit in a second. Cooper S, GT and Clubman S used them.

Probably no difference in a non-motorsport application really. They can be had for much cheaper than that as a kit if you ring around the usual mini specialist traps

I've never found the need for tapered rollers on the rear, the stocko ball bearings work fine- with 10x5 wheels anyway. I've done 75,000 miles on the current set, and this includes a bit of track work.
may be a good idea with 13" wheels though.

The fronts though are a different case, I always use Timken tapered rollers there. They last, the ball bearings cark it with spirited use.

BTW Mick I've never seen rear tapered rollers on a Clubby S, and we've owned a few. :wink:
