    Front Hub & Wheel Bearing

    I had a growler on my barn find at 105k so replaced both hubs and bearings. This was the good one and if the other side had not gone out I would still be running this. The bearing is tight and spins smooth with no lumpiness.

    Personally I would never install a used part this critical but I know there are people who are stuck with cars they need daily and for lack of funds or time cannot do this the right way when a bearing goes out (by right way I mean replace both sides with OE or OEM parts).

    I am offering this for emergency short term use only just to insure expectations are reasonable. I recommend you clean out as much of the old grease as possible and renew it.

    Its $30 shipped CONUS

      You cannot find a bearing that will be sold seperately. E30 Front bearings will always be changed with a hub..

      I believe FAG bearings are the best, however they also fail..

        I'm impressed you got that out without the inner race separating or any of that...

          The outer race is hidden in the hub so even though I have a set of bearing tools there is no way to remove the bearing. Even if there was it would not be worth my time to remove or yours to reinstall it, never mind that it probably wouldn't survive.

          Having said that the lowest cost to ship 4lbs of steel is a medium size flat rate box which is $12 so I have offered this to help someone, not to get rich. PMing you my paypal.
