So I have had my knuckles powdercoated but with the bearings in, wasn’t worried as wanting new ones anyway.
But the new ones have arrived and they’re tapered rather than ball bearings, but there’s 2 bearings per side and no new circlip with them. Can anyone say if they’re the right ones or not? Pic of old ones and new ones below

Roller bearings as opposed to ball bearing, but essentially do the same job
Are they a decent branded bearings? ive done too many to put cheap ones in

They’re a good make but I’m not sure how they fit into the knuckle? And as said, no circlip included? Any ideas if they can fit or are they just wrong?

normally when you press them out it will leave the inner race stuck in the hub, this can be a pain to remove unless you do the old welder trick
I'm pretty sure all the ones ive fitted have been in one piece though as opposed to the thrust style like shown

Are they definitely wheel bearings and not for inside gearbox like input shaft?
As these normally require lube from somewhere or a greasing point whereas wheel ones are often sealed

I’ll remove the old ones okay, just as said have you fitted roller bearings like above to knuckles that originally house ball bearings? Have you fitted any roller bearings on a leon before?

According to the seller yes definitely wheel bearings....I think I’ll be returning them anyway
