Evening all,

I'm looking on the famous four site looking to order a wheel bearing kit but all the kits say for VIN JA, where as my VIN starts GA. Any ideas how I know if I have the right kit?

Firstly, front or rear? The bearings themselves (and the rear seal) are all the same, but the lock washers are slightly different across the years. JA032850 was the changeover year, so the parts would be described as either pre- or post- this chassis number, not "JA".

It's a 200tdi G reg. I'm looking for the front bearing kit. So if JA was the changover year I'm looking for "Up to JA" as opposed to "JA onwards"? My confusion came from my VIN being "GA" and everything mentioned was "JA"! :doh:

Watch better they usually say "to VIN JA032850" which means untill 1992 and the number or "from JA032851" which means after that....if yours is GA u need this DA2382 DISCOVERY 1 HUB BEARING KIT | shop | www.lrseries.com | L. R. Series kit&page=1
