#1: Rear axel bearing? Author: ukskater01, Location: sutton surrey/welwyn garden cityPosted: Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:32 pm ---- My mechanic friend looked at my rear suspension today and said I might need a new rear axel. He's Turkish and doesn't speak very good English, from what I could understand my bushes are knackared and my axel bearings are worn aswell.
I phoned my local motor spares shop who said they didn't low what axel bearings are and said I must mean wheel bearings, is this right?
Thanks for your time

#3: Re: Rear axel bearing? Author: l_jacka, Location: CroydonPosted: Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:35 pm ---- Wheel bearings are completely different from Axle bushes/bearing
Wheel bearning is easy to do, Axle bearing/bushes is a bit complicated
I think you friend meant Axle bushes/bearing, Go and ask him again, is it wheel bearing or the axle bearing/bushes
axle bearing is on the trailing arm, one outer bearing and one inner bearing, plus oil seal as well.
bush i presume you mean the 4 rubber bush between the axle membrane and the chasie.
wheel bearing are on the hubs.
phone the pug dealer and they will give you the right parts

Thanks again
