    Question Wheel bearing and sway bar

    does anyone know out of curiosity what the original wheel bearing make was??
    OH and should there be a large clip at the back of the bearing holding it in place from coming back to far???????
    i see a groove and no clip and the manual says there should be??

    i have ntn's and am curious wether they are originals or aftermarket?

    i took my whole front end apart the other night and cleaned everything...and found that there was rust in the area were the cv goes in the hub and hope my bearings wont screw up ....

    and that the sway bar has play in it as well as my upper balljoints...

    so im making a trip to the wreckers and going to try find some good replacement parts for them..

    NTN AND NSK are the originals ( differ by region )
    anyway they don't come with a clip ! i used the old one or you can just buy a new one which i thhink will be a dealer item !

    yah i figured that they would be original...they say japan on them and stuff..

    I got a little confused as to were the snap ring is i guess....
    i re read the manual again and see that the snap ring is on the outer edge and is accesed after pressing the hub out the knuckle...

    i thought that the snapring was supposed to be in the back side of the hub were the cv goes in ....my bad..

    i guess i got to read more careful...any way i know now that the bearings are original and therfore probably are screwed..
    i can wiggle my wheel a bit...
    im going back to the wreckers now to try get the damn exhaust pipe off that i couldnt yesterday...fricking rusted bolts. i alsways tend to have one bolt that doesnt like to come off...so now hes going to have a talk with mr bfg and hacksaw.
