Has anyone used any wheel bearings from burton power??
Ive bought both front and rear wheel bearings from burton power for my 4x4 saph cosworth, about to fit them but have noticed they are a little bit loose around the hub asif the hubs have slightly worn, so ive opted for loctire 620 to conpensate for them not being able to be pressed in. But now after speaking to burton power to see who manufacturers there wheel bearings theyve told me they are unbranded and are made in CHINA!!!! alarm bells! so now im thinking are my hubs actually fine and these cheap shit burton power wheel bearings at fault???

Also seen these on ebay anyone used them?? Look at this on eBay:

Hello

Just to let you know I brought front wheel bearings for my 3 door and when I fitted them they just lock up and don't spin so don't waste your money on the burtons one I then got some off anembo engineering and they fitted fine

I think the hub flange is common for wearing so the bearing is gonna be loose. When i first bought my saff a hub was worn on mine.

I think im going to use Loctite 620 to secure the inner bearing race to the hub as even these genuine SKF bearings can wuite easily slide on and off the hub.
Has anyone else done this and used Loctite to compensate for the wear???
Because falling short of finding a brand new pair of Ford saph 4x4 hubs in the street lmao what can you do, all the used ones will most likely have similar minimal wear

Why don't you measure the o.d of the parts you think are worn and compare?
The only part that could be worn is the section where the bearing sits,if there's no bearing running on any part of the machined stub then there's no way that can be worn so measure it in a few places with a vernier.
That will confirm if it's worn or not.
I'd doubt both hubs are worn the same or all 4 hubs,that would be near impossible so I'd guess either the bearings should be loose on the hubs or they are made wrong,doubtful though.
When I did my 2wd bearings I had to press everything together and those bearings were quintin hazel as supplied by ggr.
Wouldn't be putting them together with loctite either,wasn't in there from New and won't last.
