So it seems is XPART can't get hold of the proper parts they just rebox the aftermarket ones and hope people don't notice.
There is a significant difference in quality between the genuine rear bearings and aftermarket. For £10 difference it's definitely worth fitting genuine (if you get a genuine one!). If the originals have lasted 15 years or so it's worth gambling that extra £10.

Hi Jamie.
I found that it's actually SNR that are now
not supplying SNR genuine bearings. I specifically bought SNR rear bearings in SNR packaging. FAG bearing supplied in the box, the same as supplied by X-Part.
