If you can find out the actual bearing number, take this to your local bearing shop and I'm sure they'll be able to match it or worst case order them in. Not sure, but if you have a CBC bearings or SKF shop in your area, hit them up before paying full mug retail for so called OEM bearings from a dealer etc.  Manufacturers will almost always use either a Japanese or German branded bearing for their quality and longevity. You'll be surprised how cheap they'll be for either of those mentioned.

Ok cool there is a SKF nearby so ill try them.

Hi all

I need to look into buying bearings for my 7th gen, id pefer OEM if i can get my hands on them (yes they will be pricer but they should last as long as the existing ones im replacing)

I have found afew websites that apparently sell OEM bearings but before i do buy id like to make sure that the part No is the same no matter which country its bought from

Items 5 (bearing) and 6 (ring snap) would be what im after

Rippa car that celica, I used to own one 😉 Any pics ?

yes I have some Picts, some are old but i can take new ones though not much has changed on it since my last addition

pretty much gave her a new exhaust, rims, head unit, front speakers and put sound deadener in. I’ve had to change the clutch, lock actuator on passenger side door and starter motor but otherwise the rest of her is stock. i had her outside shell completely repainted in 2018 kept her white though.

The two photos below are of her before she had her new paint job in 2018, ill get a more recent pict when i take her out today

I bought my celica in nov 2004, it only had 40k on the clock, Im the second owner and dont want to ever sell the car - i know people who have sold their celica and regreted it, also i still get comments from people asking if i would trade my car for theirs - im like lol yeah keep dreaming

cheers for the welcomes guys 🙂
