 Click image to enlarge OK its a stupid question but here goes... A mechanic friend is overhauling my front swivels and the britpart Teflon replacement balls, upper bearing housing does not accept the replacement pins/bearing we have. (they are genuine LR ones) It also doesn't have a retaining bevel inside to prevent a bearing from dropping through. Is the Britpart upper bearing unit different to the genuine land rover one? Have I purchased a dodgy ball with unfinished upper bearing housing.....or the wrong flaming ball unit... Cheers 2006 TD5 2002 Honda Transalp 650 1995 Yamaha Vmax 1200 2014 Nissan Juke (wifes) |

As I understand it,
DA3179 - questionable quality DA3179G - genuine OEM Just been looking at them myself. About £35 price difference. Rich Just noticed - dont think I answered your question but you get the point.......... |

Thanks Rich,
Just checking with the supplier in case they have sent me an earlier pair of balls - with the top bearing mount being smooth and will not stop the bearing slipping inwards - its also about 5mm smaller than the lower one.

That was my concern Dorset, this would appear to be an earlier ball then..... 2006 TD5
