TRAILING ARM BEARINGS & SEALS

Technical Precision for Your Rear Hubs We provide everything required to refresh your IRS rear assembly with confidence:

• High-Quality Wheel Bearings: We stock both inner and outer rear wheel bearings manufactured to exact OE specifications. These precision-ground bearings are designed to handle the lateral and vertical loads of daily driving, ensuring a silent and vibration-free ride for your 1969-and-later air-cooled classic.

• Double-Lip Seals & O-Rings: Protecting your bearings is just as important as the bearings themselves. Our double-lip grease seals and high-temp O-rings provide superior protection against moisture and contaminants, keeping your lubrication exactly where it belongs.

• Complete Hub Rebuild Kits: Take the guesswork out of your maintenance. Our all-in-one kits include the inner and outer bearings, seals, and the essential O-rings and spacers needed to rebuild a single side of your rear suspension.

• Specialized Spacers & Hardware: A successful bearing installation requires the correct internal and external spacers to set the proper bearing preload. We carry the specialized axle spacers and clips that are often damaged or lost during disassembly.

The Foundation of a Safe and Quiet Ride A failing rear bearing often starts as a faint hum that grows into a loud growl, but left unchecked, it can lead to excessive wheel play and even axle failure. By utilizing our premium replacement parts from trusted brands like EMPI, you ensure your drivetrain remains reliable whether you're commuting in a stock Bug or heading off-road in a custom Baja. Replacing your seals and bearings is one of the most effective ways to restore the "factory new" feeling to your VW’s drivetrain.
