Where would the best place for getting a wheel bearing.

I also get confused when they ask what engine do I have and give you 3 options the 276 HP, 284 HP and 294 HP the first 2 are ok but the 294 is no good.?

Hi Mike

Rock autos might be the place... I tried two makes from eBay... both lasted less than 30 days i think because the car is big and heavy which shows up poor quality parts fast.

I think the ls400 is a press in bearing isnt it?

I thought the MK4 was 280bhp and the earlier ones were 270. The LS430 I believe is 290.

And I think that's correct that it's a press in bearing.  They're not expensive from Rockauto, an SKF one is only about £25 plus tax and shipping, which shouldn't be much.

Does this help?

"In its standard, original trim with 10.0:1 compression, power output is 191 kW (256 hp; 260 PS), torque of 353 N⋅m (260 lb⋅ft).[2]

The engine was slightly revised in 1995 with lighter connecting rods and pistons and an increased compression ratio to 10.4:1 resulting in peak power of 195 kW (261 hp; 265 PS) at 5,400 rpm and torque of 365 N⋅m (269 lb⋅ft) at 4,400 rpm.

In 1997, Toyota's VVT-i variable valve timing technology was introduced along with a further compression ratio increase to 10.5:1,[2] bumping power and torque to 216 kW (290 hp; 294 PS) at 5,900 rpm and 407 N⋅m (300 lb⋅ft) at 4,100 rpm."

As to prices, this should give you a benchmark. The SKF is shown as £85 for the front, but the rears are not listed.

Are the OEM ones not worth the money?

The OEM ones will no doubt be the best bet but they will cost a lot more and (may) be harder to get, although SKF have been making bearings for many manufacturers for a long time so I'd be happy with them.
