freelander 2 wheel bearings

fl2 front wheel bearings are just pressed in no circlip or securing ,entirely held by fit ,unlike similar bearings used on cars etc were you press or pull hub out of bearing and remove cir clip and press bearing out ,and consequently no nut with high torque is needed to secure cv to hub holding hub into bearing

Is that good or bad design / news?

seems to work ,theres no glut of fl2 wheels falling off ,but bad cheap design

Parts bloke at local main dealer said wheel bearings are popular on Freelander 2's, but then said they're the most reliable vehicle LR currently make. He orders the parts so he's basing his judgement on that I assume.

id imagine hes right
