    They look the same to me, what exactly is different? Have you actually physically tried swapping the hub from the old to new one?

    No not yet, when you put them side by side they’re complete differmt fitment size and dept size
    The one on the car at the moment is a lot longer while the new one is smaller, and the bolt sizes are different

    You haven't bought the full hub bearing assembly, just the bearing where it bolts to the car. You'll need to get the hub pressed out of the old bearing and then pressed into the new bearing. A garage should do it for about a tenner, would take them 10 mins probably.

    Yes I understand but my question is the bearing that bolts to the car is different from the one that’s already fitted
    The new one is a lot smaller length ways and the bolts don’t match to the current ones that’s fitted
    Thanks

    I can see theres a big difference. The distance between the bolt holes looks smaller and the bolt holes are smaller as well. Definitely not going to fit into the knuckle. Unfortunately I wouldn't know where to get one except online.

    Yeah quite annoying :/
    You wouldn’t be able to recommend any websites for the correct ones?
    Been looking but only seem to find the smaller sizes :/

    Ah, I see! It’s possible that Garage D have just picked and despatched the wrong unit, hopefully they’ll have the correct one in stock and ship it immediately!

    Ah that’s reassuring, phoned them today but seemed like they didn’t look at the picture properly to notice the difference!
    Hopefully all is good

    Thanks for the quick reply’s and help

    For future reference if you're wanting brand new, this is what I went for: http://www.hardrace.co.uk/hardrace-7...l-bearing.html

    Ah I see, I get you now. Looked the same in the pics, didn't realise it was smaller. Maybe one from a 350z or other RWD Nissan?

    Give Conceptua tuning a call, they are based in Brixham, Devon.
    They have a shop on eBay too that might be worth browsing through, I know they sell wheel bearings and their listing might tell you if they have them in stock.
    I've used them several times before and always found them very helpful.
