need front wheel bearing and boots for m35a3

[Coalman]

Please don't say use the search I did and did not find anything I need to replace the front drivers side wheel bearing on my a3 . I was out for a ride today and heard a squeaking sound with turned into a grinding sound and then started to smoke out of the front wheel I did get to baby it home . So my question is can I buy a kit with bearings races and boot or is it best to just buy the parts seperate ?( where is the best place to purchase them ) I plan on changing the boots right away also, I am going to fix the bad side and also take the other side apart to inspect and grease also Thanks for the help

I'm afraid you're going to be in a bit of shock when it comes to the cost of bearings...

And yes, you should check out the TM's on it and PMCS all the other bearings and hubs.

front BRG

Erik has the Brg at a cost off 935.00 each
You are almost cheaper off buy the convertion from A3 to A2,
I believe eastren Parts
For $675 for 1 axle both sides.
You will get 2 new spindles, 2 grease seals,4 set off Brg (not timken) instruction good deal but you will loose your CTIS.

Or you can get the rear convertion (cheaper) and use the brg op front you would loose the CTIS for that wheel

<Or you can get the rear convertion (cheaper) and use the brg op front you would loose the CTIS for that wheel > brg op??? my nephew asked me what this refers to..I told him I have NO idea.

Unfortunately that's your options, very very expensive or just very expensive when it comes to replacement bearings.

I am pretty sure you are going to have to bite the bullet and spend the $$$$.

Great advice. Going through the same thing. Inner bearings are 450 each! THX!
