vcu place to buy.

im after a vcu and support bearings,
been trying to get a price from a local 4x4 landrover specialist but keep getting sent round the houses.

all I want is a new vcu and bearings, new not recon, at a good price.

any recommendations.

thank you

There is only 1 'new' VCU and that's the original GKN unit. As such it should be simple to source and presumably the price won't fluctuate much. There is a choice with the support bearings - don't go for cheap after market ones - go genuine/oem.

Having said the price shouldn't fluctuate, I just checked and it does! .....

The genuine item in that list is exactly the same as the GKN unit. I think the only difference, appart from the rediculous price difference, is that you get a 2 year warranty with the genuine LR item.

Hi Adam.
Try these below ask for Sarah I purchased my front drive shaft and my VCU which is a genuine GKN they also sell the support bearings.

try Bells a lot on here have do not go to the old Freelander specialist up north. I can not think what they are called now the "New" one I had off them let me down in thick snow and as I am disabled and unable to walk that far I was really stuck as it would not go up the hill until a very nice landy owner came to my rescue , they did send me another one but my son in law was away and I had to pay again to have it fitted.

thank you for your replys
