Thank Brian, useful information but tangential to my point.
As you know, maufacturing processes often change for an OEM part during a product's life. Often in order to reduce cost. The pertinent question remains - is the FAG bearing based item now the OEM standard, or do SNR still manufacture the "original production OEM" standard part? The questionable longevity of the part that Mat played with could be for all sorts of reasons, including rubbish materials being used in the manufacture as is now the case very often. |

These are the original production standard part, and not some Micky Mouse effort made by the Guang Dong Bearing, Lawn mower, and Dangerous Toy Company. So if the OP wishes to fit a component in every way as good quality as fitted on the production line, let's just say a perfect facsimile, then the link is there to the supplier I used to obtain mine Brian |

Much appreciated. 3rd time lucky hopefully. I have no issue with the FAG bearing as such, however as Brian has pointed out, the manufacturing process achieves a lower quality product. I think we all just wish that manufacturers, suppliers etc just sold what they advertise, and advertise what they sell instead of misrepresenting things. |

Can anyone tell me if I am likely to get this original/genuine part or are they going to be a cheap version with the external reluctor ring clipped on? I might just have to wait to find out what I get, but was hoping someone has purchased them recently? Tommy :-)

Not trying to crucify Reamers any more but the last wheel bearing fitted to my ZT was supposedly from them and marked as a SNR , and that lasted 4500 k miles . and after I sent the duffer to SNR for checking ,twas declared " not one of ours" . but that might have been them sloping shoulders..
Did get a refund .. Replaced with a FAG and 50 k miles on so far .. Mind the original OEM on the NS is 163+ k miles C

The originals seem to last like nothing else - absolutely gutted that I didn't buy all 2,700 on 4 pallets I was offered 5 years ago!
I'd be able to retire by now Quality is very variable it seems - we're working on a bearing made by the OE supplier to SAIC MG coming over in the next few months, but thanks to the shipping shortages we have no ETA yet. We do know it'll cost £59.99 and have an unlimited mileage 4 year warranty (and no clip on magnetic ring) though!

Don't worry, those are excellent and you certainly won't need the warranty!
