What exactly is this 'Outer Wheel Bearing (Front) [Early Vanagon 2WD]' and why do I need it?

This is the front outer wheel bearing specifically designed for early 2WD Vanagon models. It's a crucial part that allows your front wheel to spin smoothly and with minimal friction. Replacing a worn bearing prevents potential damage to your hub and ensures safe operation of your vehicle. Remember, you'll need two of these bearings per vehicle, one for each front wheel.

How can I be sure this bearing is the right fit for my 1983 or 1984 Vanagon?

If you have a late 1983 or early 1984 Vanagon, we recommend measuring the inner diameter of the inner race on your existing bearing. If it measures 19mm (or 0.748 inches), then this is the correct bearing for your vehicle. This specific bearing is for 2WD models only and will not fit 4WD Syncro vans.

Where is this Vanagon wheel bearing manufactured, and is it good quality?

This outer wheel bearing is manufactured in Mexico by SKF Germany, a reputable name known for quality automotive parts. It's a tapered roller bearing that comes complete with its race, ensuring you have all the necessary components for replacement.

Does this bearing fit all early Vanagon models, including automatics and manuals?

Yes, this front outer wheel bearing is compatible with all early 2WD Vanagon models, regardless of transmission type, whether automatic or manual. It also fits a wide range of trim levels, including the 7-Passenger, Carat/Hard Top Weekender, Multivan, Passenger, Westfalia Camper, and Wolfsburg Weekender.
