    Front axle supporting bracket

    Since the bearing in the front axle bracket is NLA, has anyone sourced a good place for the 7119981036 - 30X55X13 bearing?



    Or should I not worry about it, and just clean it out and repack it?

      Thanks for the offer/PM, but I think mine is ok for the time being, just kinda curious about going forward and continued maintenance into the future.

      Appreciate the offer though.

        I think they are pretty durable. I have not seen or heard of one fail. Anyone else? BTW: Good work - it's a bummer so many 325iX parts have dropped of the radar.

          there's a Timken bearing store in my town. I bet I could get something similar from them.

            Nando that would be greatly appreciated. Whenever you have the time, let me know if they have something, and either I can order and ship or go through yourself. I can get the machine shop that is doing my motor to pull and replace it.

              Just order it. 30X55X13 Bearing overall dimensions are the same across brands.

                ^ Nice.

                That said, I've never seen them fail. They aren't really a load bearing part, right? They just stabilize the shaft.

                  yeah but for example on my spare parts they let a bunch of grit get in there. I might be able to clean it out but sand and ball bearings don't really mix well together.

                  looks like it's relatively inexpensive too.
