EMPI Outer Front Wheel Bearing for VW Vanagon 1984–1992

This EMPI outer front wheel bearing is a direct OEM-replacement for the 1984–1992 VW Vanagon (Type 2, water-cooled). The outer front bearing is part of a tapered roller bearing arrangement that supports the front wheel and hub assembly. Replacing worn bearings eliminates the characteristic growling or humming noise from the front axle and restores safe, predictable handling.

Manufactured to OEM dimensional tolerances for a correct fit. Always replace the inner and outer bearings together and repack with fresh wheel bearing grease on installation.
