Can anyone please confirm if CBC kit # SZ196 is the correct part for a 1.6 efi Vitara front wheel bearing and seal?
If it is are they any good compared to OEM?
Cheers

i can't confirm if the numbers right.
but the kit will be as good as OEM. as suzuki would have outsorced its bearings from a bearing manufacturer, same with the seals.
most if not all wheel bearing kits i sell have japanese bearings in them. and japanese a great products are resonable prices. the exceptions being certain models that only Timken manufacture (cooper S mini's are one of these)
just make sure that the bearings in there are Koyo, NTN, Nachi, Timken, SKF or Grimace. these are the best japanese and european brands that would be used in those kits.
personally i would steer clear of kits using any chineese bearings. UBC, FRB, FBJ and the like.
before you leave the shop open the box and just look on the side where they are made. if they are anything other than japanese or european i would ask politly if they have anything japanese on the shelf.
