I've searched the web for rear wheel bearings and find that Performance Products has the best price that I could find but don't they say who the manufacturer of the bearings is. I want to stay with a US or German bearing. Does anyone know if Perf Products bearings are quality bearings?

Buy it from GPR. PProds bearings are probably German or Swedish, but why support a megacorp that barely cares about 914s? BTW, "American" bearings are likely to be reboxed European parts. FAG or SKF are the generally available and good quality parts. The Cap'n

You can also buy them from the dealer.
ALL 1997-99 Boxsters run them front and rear. I agree about the mega corp thing. GPR is a 914 friendly business. B |

Minor hijack. Here's a picture showing the placement of spacers to use 911 hubs in 914 control arms.
The outer spacer (PMPCASPO) goes between the hub and the bearings. I didn't need the inner spacer. Attached image(s) ![]() |

Somewhere along the line, I *think* there was a bum batch of SKF's. Bontempi ran across some.
I have used both, but prefer the FAG's since I had to deal some bad SKF's out of the box. I guess it kinda depends on how many wheel bearings you are doing over a course of a year. With all the AutoX cars + road racing cars I dealt with, we would replace both rears once a year (the fast guy's) B |

The castle nut on the left side had rotated about 1/8 turn and almost severed the cotter pin. Just ordered replacements from here: http://catalog.eautopartscatalog.com/ |

Is this so you can use the later (alloy arm) hubcentric parts that use the wider bearing? Are these spacers available? Where? $? |
