Looks like i need to replace my front bearings in the 2000 Audi TT - its a 1.8 with FWD not quattro.
from what i have been able to assertain, it looks pretty straight forward. Ive done this on front and rear of the 914, and have done other vehicles as well before , but not a FWD. 1. what special tools will i require? ie. bearing puller etc. 2. would it be easier to do the bearing and hub since they are not that expensive and i then will not have to take the bearing out of the old hub? - it seems this might result in the need for a professional alignment if i go this route- so any suggestions appreciated.

thanks for the info and advice. Probably going to order the hub and bearing. shop quote to do one side was $500 so i will be tackling this soon. Looks like the 914 is going to take a back seat to the TT for a while as i am going to do and ECU 2 stage flash(@$500), and new sport cat down pipe and performance dual exhaust- looking for an additional 100hp total1! shshould be good fro some AX and DE in the next year.
Any advice on suspension mods for these as well? |
