In a recent rainstorm, I hit a rock or something hard enough to dent my right rear wheel and bend the beam axle in my aging but beloved '02 Jetta . The car has just over 200K on it. Alignment guy says it's bent pretty bad, so I'll be replacing the axle as soon as it comes in from IDParts. For peace of mind, I'm replacing the stub axle on that side as well.
Good thing is, I needed new rear axle bushings anyway. My rear wheel bearings are original, so of course I'll replace those. Not to mention the rusty brake splash shields. And anything else I find hanging back there...
So far, this is what I think I need to order:
2 Bearing/hub kits
2 stub bolt sets
2 axle nuts
2 splash shields
Do I have to replace my ABS sensors? I thought I remembered that they are virtually impossible to remove without destroying them.
Am I missing anything else?
Thanks.
