The MX5 has been wheel bearing and hub as an assembly since 89. The Subaru and the Suzuki Jeep are still the wheel bearing only.

None of them are adjustable.

To be honest VW and Audi are getting far too clever by half for no apparent gain.

The Land-Rover Discovery is in this camp. Nearly £400 for a bearing / hub assembly. The worrrying thing was the way it failed. In less than 50 miles it went from a minor rumble to a horrifying screech. Happened on one corner at around 70k miles on the old Disco.

No they are not adjustable.
They are Gen 1 Wheel bearings as opposed to the Gen 3 hub and bearing fitted to the S2 and beyond Aero so are replaceable at limited expense.
