Greetings,
I have a bad wheel bearing in the rear of my 87 5ktq and want to replace it
ASAP due to a planned trip a few days from now. I thought it was tire
noise, but learned today it is a failing bearing, and pretty far gone. So
I'm considering my options.
I don't have a replacement bearing on hand, and time is short.
But I do have a complete rear suspension from an 89 200Q, with good
bearings, and wonder if I could swap the wheel bearing housing from it onto
my 87. ETKA shows different part numbers for the bearing housings which
raises an obvious question about whether this would work.
For the 87 it's 443 505 432A
For the 89 it's 4A0 505 432A
Does anyone know if these can be interchanged?
Thanks,
Dave C.
