The GSF kit includes a washer but my experience was that the bearing I bought was in the wrong box and had a different inner dust excluder (this sits on the inside of the bearing and is held by the main shoulder of the stub axle). I replaced it for one that looked the same as the original part and it was this one that had the trouble with the washer not being thick enough. The bearing is absolutely fine and runs smoothly.
Given that there are separate washers available I may just splash out on one and replace the, ahem, non-standard part. I'm sure it would be fine, but it's my Sister-in-law's car, so I guess I oughta.
Xantia Rear Wheel bearing again :(

Was very tempted by the 2.1td exclusive on ebay this morning....
However i have a new symptom...
When driving in a straight line the noise completely vanish's and its quiet in the car....(other than a bit from rear wheel bearing of course)
but the noise and vibes thru the car goes away and then slowly over a few seconds comes back...
Sounds like some resonace now to me but it does build with speed...

A very wise choice That car in estate form is a most choice vehicle. One of the best Xantias going...KP wrote:Was very tempted by the 2.1td exclusive on ebay this morning....
Is this a new noise in addition to the wheel bearing? If so, can you describe it a bit better and where it seems to be coming from? Duff wheel bearings may be a bit quieter straight ahead as they don't have such a high lateral load on them. Bearings often do make that sort of going inand out of resonance sound when they are beginning to fail.KP wrote: However i have a new symptom...
