Evening all,
Got brand new front wheel bearing/hub assembly from Mazda UK, but as per the photos the outer bearing has no dust cover or outer bearing seal. My dealer spoke to Mazda technical in Europe they spoke to Japan and they said it's perfectly fine. Ordered another one in the check and exact same. Issue is you spin them by hand and all the grease comes out so they won't last 10 minutes on the road.

Anyone else has this issue and any solution as my dealer says technical says they are ok so that's the end of the matter. -_-
 
Nah give them back, they might come with a separate shield
 
Can't seem to upload photos of them atm.
Can't as they had to VOR the parts thats the issue I got now as they say technical say's they are fine even though I'm positive they're wrong
 
Just say you didn't need them and but from somewhere else
I got one on the forum without shields in was fuming, no way is it suitable

Did you resolve this? Just got a pair from Autodoc & they are both missing the seal
 
Nope nothing from Mazda but spoke to Mike from super lap and he said he runs his just like that all the front bearings he has had come with no front seal from Mazda so I guess that's how they are but the state you have to run the bearing cap
