with the above bearings your getting the same one suzuki would fit without paying their astronomical mark up....................bit of a no brainer really. even if they lasted half as long your still better off :whistle:

Cheers all.

I'll bring it up again, but the garage does seem to prefer to get them from Suzuki direct. But then, it's not their money!

mine are SKF and I've had no issues with the bearings and seals.. and I'm running big boots on spacers too

you need to try doing this yourself.. its not that difficult just quite messy

Cheers. Might try it myself next time, but it won't pass the MOT with the kingpin as it is, and I'm short of time at the moment. Also, I've only got the road to do the work on. I suppose I should man up and give it a go... But next time! :)

buy them yourself from here (will still be cheaper than them getting them) take them to your garage and say "can you fit these please", if they turn round and say "no" play the good old "i'll take my business elsewhere then" trick.

as has been said its not to difficult to do on your drive saving you the labour charge and you know its been done right to :whistle:

as you are only doing one side it shouldnt take you more than a morning to do.
