[urq] Bad wheel bearing: Right before UPG...! Help!

[Louis_Alain_Richard@computerhorizons.com]

Ok here is Mister Partman to the rescue:

complete OEM set is 443 498 625 (bearing, hub, grease, circlips, $$$$)

Bearing only is 443 407 625 which is also know as a Bower/BCA Bearing #
513106, available in any good auto parts.

SKF part number is FW109, also available everywhere.

With these numbers, any good interchange will get you a 75mm bearing of any
make.

Good Luck !
