If you try 149081OE and 149082OE into the Canley search engine and compare
the prices to 149081 and 149082 you'll see they are quite a bit more - the
OE ones are King non aluminium type. (if any Vandervall ones turned up they
would be sold under these numbers as well). Whilst these King bearings may
not be as good as original Vandervalls (we had no way of testing them), they
are better than all aluminium type. The bearings to avoid if you can are
manufactured by Glacier, these have a small G in a box on the steel
backing - they charge a lot for them and never honour a guarantee, so why
pay the extra?
