Will this Wheel Bearing Kit (Front) fit my Vanagon?

This kit is specifically designed for early Vanagon models, so it's important to double-check your van's year before purchasing. If your Vanagon is one of the early models (usually 1980–1984), this kit should fit perfectly. Before ordering, verify the production year and whether you need a front wheel bearing kit—this kit is intended for the front wheels only. If you’re unsure, you can compare your current bearings to the ones included, or contact GoWesty support for guidance.

What parts are included in the GoWesty Front Wheel Bearing Kit for Early Vanagons?

All parts are selected to meet or exceed original specifications, ensuring a long lifespan and reliable performance.

How difficult is it to install this front wheel bearing kit?

Installing a front wheel bearing kit on a Vanagon can be a moderate DIY task if you have basic mechanical skills. You'll need tools like a jack, jack stands, socket set, and a bearing removal tool or press. Following a repair manual is highly recommended for step-by-step guidance. Set aside a few hours for each side, and make sure to properly grease the new bearings during installation. If you’re not confident, a professional mechanic can handle the job quickly.

Bearings!

Easy install with the right tools. Very slick.

Great quality

I have a 1984 and as such fall into a weird cut off year. I ordered the early vanagon product. The outer wheel bearings did not fit and I had to reuse the old ones. I think I needed the late model kit to get the correct outer bearings.
