steering track rod ends and wheel bearings

[marcevo1]

as you can tell i'm planning on keeping the hsv for the next 100k miles ;-)

can anyone advise of the prices for:

steering track rod ends

front and rear wheel bearings

nothing particularly wrong with the ones on the car - but feel that it may be preventative maintainace time while i have some money

Monkfish had some for sale on ebay for the monaro I think - same part maybe? Worth giving them a call?

[monkfish1]

Front bearings complete, £217.14
Track rod ends, £15.20
Rear wheel bearing we do not keep in stock, so i dont have a current price.

Prices include VAT

hey - on the ball today ;-)

am i right in thinking the front wheel bearings are sealed full hubs?

[monkfish1]

Yes, complete with abs senor. Just bolt on with 3 screws. No messing about with the bearing itself.

are the track rod ends the GM part 92143049?

[monkfish1]

The rod ends are pedders parts. I think i also have some genuine GM ones. Will check stock for you tommorow, though these are more expensive.

For VT owners, i do need to know the thread type on the track rods. Some cars have a fine pitch thread.

there was a BJ/TE/RE change around vin# L492505, my yr2000 GTS (UK) #18 uses the TE3049 end which I think is the coarse thread type. Earlier were 16mm thread. Are the wheel bearings the same throughout the VT2 range?

Yes. VT1 are different though.
