MOT failure - " 'Rough' front ns wheel bearing when rotated"


is it easy to determine which bearing, or is it just best to replace both inner & outer bearing, seals and track spacer?

you may as well change them both whilst you are at it. Timken bearings are only £5 each
change seals whilst your at it for a few ££
