Since each one is $6 or more and their not returnable, I'd hate to have to get one of each just to be on the safe side  . |
I've just had a look on Pelican and it seems that you can now only buy FAG or SKF!

If I were you I'd just start off with a rear wheel bearing kit and see how you get on. Over tightening is a problem. But there's no way of knowing how many of those crush washers you need before you do the job. Hopefully it will only be one.
There should be one crusher washer in the kit.
Would you like some links for the process of removal and replacement? The trailing arms on your 107 are the same as my W123...
