Got an deep whirring sound just started to come from the rear that seems to fade when I go round corners. Haven't jacked it up yet so thinking it might be the wheel bearings. Just done 120,000 miles so guess they need replacing. Does anyone know where to get these for a 98 facelift 1.6 GS or will it be cheaper to ge the 1.8 bearings and fit calipers? Only use the car for work cos i've gotr an rx7 for play but would still like to keep it cos they're great cars.
Hope you guys can help.

If you dont mind waiting for delivery. . . ebays has plenty, some good parts and you sometimes get Dealer items that people are selling on for less. Plenty there  Smiley
