Hello,

does anyone on the board know if the bearings from a Golf/rabbit will fit?

or

are front and rear identical like my parts-dealer is telling me?

Talking about a ROW 4/1977 NA car....

danke!

look at this listing

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PORSCHE-924-76-86-FRONT-WHEEL-BEARING-/170383785678?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27abaa3ece

These people will tell you. and they are only £4.22.

Tell them you want two lots, one for Porsche 924 and one for Golf/rabbit and are they the same.

They want £4.50 to post to UK which is Ok but they want £19 to post to Germany.

If you want some i will buy them, have them delivered to me at £8.72 and then send them on to you in Germany at cost price postage, wont be too expensive.

Thanks for your offer Paula,

got the right ones today but for a way higher price (both sides 35.-Euros)

from FAG (formerly known as Kugelfischer). I guess there are diffrent qualities in the market.Prices vary from 4,50 to 20.-euros each!!

Get my complete front axle done by tomorrow, fingers crossed...

Thanks again,

Nobbi

There are different qualities, I´ve been through a couple of them on the n/a. The worst one just cracked the bearing surface into pieces after some track driving. When i finally got good quality ones there were no problems.

Dont forget to use high quality grease, also helps alot. But as 9xx girl said, if you only gonna drive on the street its not as important, you can drive thousands of km with a bad sounding bearing on the streat, but on a track it will die in 10minutes

Something that people forget, track racing is a form of mechanical punishment.

My near side front was changed at the road side and packed with Vaseline 12000 miles ago but still shows no play. I have another one (vacuum packed with some silica gel) floating around in my spare wheel well, just in case. Its better off there than in my parts box at home though
