I have searched but cannot find what I'm looking for so I was hoping someone could help.

So the wheel bearing has gone and I went about fixing it today until I found out the bearing I was sent seems to be totally different.

This is the one euro car parts posted:

and this is how the one that is fitted now looks:

Will the new bearing fit?

I'm pretty sure it needs sending back as the inner race doesn't look tapered enough, but thought I would ask.


The car is a 51 plate vtr with tapered shafts.

Thanks people :y:
