VW Beetle - KG | Front axle bearing - upper / lower | Beetle 08/60-, KG 08/60-, Type 181 | 111 401 301
The front axle bearings in your front beam are constantly under pressure and partly determine how your Beetle or Karmann Ghia handles on the road. These needle bearings (OEM 111 401 301) gradually wear out and cause play in the steering - so it's wise to replace them preventively during an overhaul. We supply them in pairs - both the upper and lower bearings - so you're ready immediately. Combine them with new steering coupling circlips for a complete front end.
- ✓Upper and lower bearing as a set – both positions in one order
- ✓OEM reference 111 401 301 – guaranteed proper fit
- ✓Suitable for Beetle from 08/60 - Karmann Ghia from 08/60 and Type 181
- ✓For models up to 07/65 both bearings needed; from 08/65 only upper bearing
