I'm about to start building my ARB as my diff that I have fitted is screwed.

Anyone know anywhere in the UK that doesn't sell the carrier bearings for a ridiculous price? I want to rebuild the diff with all new bearings.

Simply bearings want £97 per bearing for Koyo ones, Yes that's for each carrier bearing! I found them on US ebay for £25 each, I would happily pay that!

how the hell does that make any sense when you can get a complete diff rebuild kit with decent bearings from lror in the US delivered for £105

Just found Timken ones for £72.29 each, still not cheap enough!

I will see what we can do through work. Are you after reputable brand ones, Timken, FAG, SKF, Koyo etc... or just bearings!!

Is it the 17887-17831 bearings only you want, or the 30307 & 30306 as well?

I'm after all 4 and good ones please, don't think I'd want to trust cheap ones to look after an ARB air locker I could probably just re-use the ones in the diff i'm going to use as I've picked out the best front one that I have but thought i'd look into getting some new bearings so it's 100% fresh.

This is the cheapest option I can find so far. http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/index.ph ... -kits.html

I'm pretty sure I recently bought my kingpin bearings for a reasonable price. I think they were from somewhere called something like "bearingboys.co.uk". Might be worth a look?

Yeah kingpin bearings are quite cheap, apparently because these ones arent a 'common' size in the UK they are 3-4x the price of exactly the everywhere else in the world strange as I'm pretty sure they are used in some Toyota diffs as well so can't be that uncommon?

Try brt bearings in hove , East sussex there along the road from me bot sure if the do postal service/ sell to the public worth a try.

as it goes brt are a really good brand

Not sure if you've got a decent price yet, but got a quote from a supplier at work.

£95 for all four including vat, just waiting for him to get back to me on brand but they'll be FAG/SKF that's what we usually have.
