Years ago, I needed to replace the bearings on either my Ghia or 914, and the VW dealer wanted an arm & leg for OEM.
I took the part number from the bearing and called a local bearing specialty house in Denver, and they had the exact same part for less than 1/4 of what the dealer wanted. Anyone know a cross ref. part number for rear wheel bearings? How about the dozens of bearings on ebay? Any good? Any ideas for the best deal? Oh, and what is the deal with the rear bearing seals? The manual states that if these are damaged, the entire trailing arm needs to be replaced... While I'm at it. Both arms are off and I am cleaning them up. What does everyone suggest I do while I have them off? I plan on painting them, but what else should I do while I'm at it? I have the welder at the ready, so I could do some reinforcing too. Stu |

Funny,
Now that the part number above (545495AD) appears, I see that this topic has been discussed before: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/lofiversion/i...php?t94702.html Thanks for all the help. Any opinions on what I should do to the arms while they are off? I will reinforce them like the AA trailing arm plates before I paint them. Has anyone ever considered having these parts plated for corrosion resistance during a refurb? That would get the insides as well as the outsides.... Stu |

Stu I'm not sure about plating, never gone through the process. Keeping the bearing races clean might be an issue. I taped over the bearing races with gorilla tape and tossed them in a poly cement mixer with a bunch of sand for a couple of hours. Clean as a whistle. Then added reinforcement, tumbled them shortly again and had them powder coated. Since I was there, did new bushings too. |
