Default You thought you guys have it bad with wheel bearings?

The GTI started making noise from the right front when going over bumps the other day, so I made a point of getting it into work today to look at it. Right front wheel bearing has play in it again! This will be the 4th time I have replaced it! My cost at the dealer would have been $45, EuroPartsDirect has SKF bearings 1J0 407 625 for $30.90 so you can figure out which one I did, considering we don't have the part in stock anyway. They also sell the kit 1J0 498 625 which includes new hardware for double the price of just the bearing, I can live without that!

So yeah, that's my "Weekend Mod" post...no mods, just crappy wheel bearings. Damnit.

Default By the way, thanks for the part number cross-referencing help, but....

we didn't have em in stock. Oh well, I'll just wait for the bearing to arrive from EPD.

We can just take Andrew's 90 to work until the bearing arrives, no big deal.
