Detachable the rear wheel bearing, just like the front

FLX



BLM/FL

Thanks TitanRev

You the Sifu for FLX.

china brembo....

You mean Flx rear wheel bearing is detachable. Unlike the FL, Blm series?

Better or what?

Good news for me... my magician can do... because .... he is expert on Continental cars.

Now he checking for me pricing for Ori Proton and Ford....

If Ford not so much difference, I will fix Ford...

Then my Gaga promote to Proton Focus 1.3... ha ha ha

Yes and no.

BLM/FL the spindle is separated from the bearing. It has the advantage of bearing replacement and cost effective for consumer. However, when bearing is not hard fixed into the spindle, chances are each time the bearing damaged, debris will be grinding through the spindle and make the shaft vulnerable over a long period(until bearing being replaced).

FLX(after 2nd batch), the spindle is 1 piece with the bearing built in. No your can't change the bearing only, must change the spindle together. Since the bearing is fixed inside the spindle, it doesn't get damage as often. You often heard BLM/FL/Savvy rear wheel bearing damaged very quickly, whilst never heard of their front bearing got problem. This is because, FLX is now using the similar type of bearing built in spindle. Disadvantage is, since the bearing is built in, if bearing damaged the whole piece of spindle will have to be replaced. Usually the costing is 2~3x of BLM/FL bearings.

Ooh so actually First Batch FLX ... should be better kua? Ka ka ka

No say better or no better. Having the newer FLX with the 1 piece bearing, you get less headache. The barang also tahan lama compare to the old type. But ofcourse, the trade off is more expansive compare to old model. The bright side of having the 1 piece bearing is, you save up time going to workshop change bearing every once in awhile. Not only the 1 piece bearing cost 2~3 times more than the normal bearing, it last 3~5 times longer than the normal bearing as well. So, you choose lar

Hahaha David I was mentioning the clutch throw out bearing

Oh ok...

So first batch Flx is still old type like Blm n Fl is it?

If can last longer should be a good trade off...

Sorry I'm still newbie, Wanna ask now I'm using new Front Mintye Brake Pad, if use OEM Taiwan brake disc is it a good matching? And where can I get OEM Taiwan Disc Brake? thank you ^^

OEM is ok la like davidke20 said earlier.

paiseh to the max

Korek. That is unless you like to visit magician, pay him marnee every once in awhile, the old type is gooding. Coz each time jiu go only pay like RM100 then get a new bearing liao. Whereas if the new type, you only get to visit magician in 5~6 years time, but jiu pay some 300~400 lar

paying rm100 each time visit magician is ok for me then paying one shot rm400 lol. btw in 3+ years ownage first time change bearing so ok for me
one piece rm100. if 2 is rm200. but flx 2 pc rm800 hailut.com.my

Basically, the pad you choose decides how long the disc will last. Please use BOSCH OEM pads or standard original Plotong pads if you want a long live disc rotor. On the side note, avoid hard driving before sending the car for car wash. If you must, stay behind another 2~3 cars when you reach the car wash, wait until your brakes cool down before rolling in. Everytime gone through flash floods, remember to go home wait until the car cools down, splash water into the brakes and wash away all floating debris/dust/sand/stones that stuck between your brake pads. May not be 100% foolproof, but my longest serviced brake rotor lasted me 4 times skinning in 200,000km, until I sell car and the new owner is still using it

Only applicable to the back. Our front bearings are totally the same, which is the expansive type

Nice foot, even has hair, something mine has lacked for years.
Nice topic and just the sort I like, folk here would know I'm a fan of budget pads, really unless you're a teenager (or one at heart) or really push things like setting a new record going down the hill from Genting then premium pads can be more a millstone than a boon. I abhor the idea of machining rotors so the less harsh the pad the better in my view.
Myself I'm easier on brakes than my Dad and he had 340,000 km on the pads (and rear shoes) of his trayback when he sold it a while back, but that can be a testament to how many of our roads are long, straight and flat.

Guys, Wanna ask, if i upgraded the tyre profile (FLX SE) from 195/50/15 to 55 series does the tyre give any problems? Will it rub the side or the "banana leaf" of the car?

Felt way too bumpy for the current ride.

Any suggestion?

Nanderi...
