Claire G 0 Posted August 25, 2004 Lexus has just quoted me £131 for my wheel bearing - eek - more expensive than I first thought. Is this what you'd expect to pay? Also looked into getting replacement locking wheel nuts as the chrome is starting to come off a couple of them - £120 odd quid! Ah, the joys of owning a luxury car eh!!!

ColinBarber 1,764 Posted August 25, 2004 The wheel nuts don't even show claire. Wouldn't worry about the plating coming off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodders_UK 1 Posted August 25, 2004 C you can buy a nice set of blinging McGard chrome locking nuts in Halfords for about 25 quids I also got stainless wheelnuts for a quid each - very nice they are too!! - let me know if you want the URL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdmparts_guru 0 Posted August 26, 2004 Replacement nuts are not expensive. You should be able to get those for GBP10 - 15 max. Wheel bearing ... do you mean ball joints? GBP131 for 2 or for 1? And is installation included? If not, than it is very expensive... I paid about GBP120 or so for both of my lower front balljoints. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Claire, Try calling Darrel at Sewells in the US and quote membership of the club. I'm sure the bearings and practically anything would be cheaper than over here.

Chris.S 31 Posted August 26, 2004 Which wheel bearing is it Claire ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Claire G 0 Posted August 26, 2004 It's £131 for just the wheel bearing, no fitting included and it's the front nearside wheel. Would try to go and get this cheaper from the US, but can't be without the car for that long. If anyone can advise of the cost of the wheel bearing I'd appreciate it - Lexus has called to say it's in today and I don't want to get stitched up!

Chris.S 31 Posted August 26, 2004 Just checked Claire, that price is correct Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Claire G 0 Posted August 26, 2004 Thanks for checking Chris, appreciate it. I suppose the only saving grace here is that the garage I'm using is only going to charge about £50 for doing the work! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
