    Hi does anyone know whether I should buy
    1.6 wheel bearing to match the driveshaft or the 1.1
    Wheel bearings to match the original.

    Any help is greatly appreciated

    Drive shafts sit in the hub which then sits in the bearing then in the strut, i done the (mix and match) idea, ending up buying two hubs two drive shafts and two bearings just because i was putting wrong parts with wrong parts so if I'm reading right, you have a 1.1 therefore buy 1.1 bearings, if you have 1.6 driveshafts on it get 1.1 ones to match the car, if not, just make sure the shaft seats in box correctly and sits in hub and bearing all perfect, because before you know it you'll hear knocking and your wallet will get thinner, if I'm on the wrong page completely then my bad, but only trying to help you save quids aha good luck

    If its all together and working just get what you have on it currently (I'm assuming you are replacing a bad bearing?)
