914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Ball Joint Question/ Rear Bearing Question

Posted by: Mueller Jul 21 2003, 03:16 PM

Are these specific to the year of the struts or a-arms??

I plan on going to HPH on Tuesday to purchase a bunch of stuff and I know that my struts are '74 /4 parts, but I have a few different -arms to pick from and do not know what years they are, or if it even matters

also....

I know some people have had problems with the rear wheel bearings as bought brand new, is there a specific brand to ask for or stay away from?

The control arms are the same.. its the actual strut that dictates what ball joint you need. The early struts used a bolt thru the bottom of the strut to hold onto the ball joint.

The later struts use the "pinch" bolt style.

Those are the two "styles".. I have found a benefit to either one.

Rich will more than likely carry the "correct" wheel bearing that you need.
