Freelander 1 VCU support bearings.

I'm guessing that when the VCU support bearing rubbers are starting to perish like this, they should be changed? With a OWUT result of around 55 seconds, maybe I should do the VCU while I'm at it?

If you change the VCU as well as the bearings go to Bell Engineering-they will send a VCU with bearing fitted for £295-and they pay to send your old VCU back

Yes, change them. Perished rubber is a sign of a cheapo crap bearing anyway - I should know; I’ve gone through a few.

The rubber will always perish at some point even with the best bearings.

The bearings are the originals so they've done nearly 14 years. Not bad!!

14 years... what's the mileage?

210,000 km so 130,000 miles ish.
