As long as you buy them for a Leone that is between 1985 and 1994 with the 1800cc EA82 engine, then you'll get the correct bearings. When they give them to you, make sure the 2 seals are different sizes. The earlier Leones (1979-1984 1800cc EA81 engne) have the same size seals.

So... no difference between FWD Leone and 4WD wagons, maybe not in the bearings, what about the inner seal.... all the same...?

rousy there are some good sites to look up part numbers ...one is rockauto.com - a very comprehensive US site that has many part numbers, with pics or links to description. Compare FWD to 4WD part numbers to se if they are same etc. Don't use the prices s a guide to Oz prices though

Veales, Repco and Coventrys have never asked me if they (front bearings) are 2WD or 4WD.. so to answer your ?, I'm going to have to say yes

In fact, I've only ever seen the differences in the internal spline count (on the CV shafts) between 2WD and 4WD ones.. the outer spline and part on the CVJ where the seal runs on are all the same.
