So my right rear bearing just went out. It started roaring about a week ago and yesterday it stopped roaring but the rear end was loose, like a rear wheel drive car on ice. Pulled the tire and the rotor was so sloppy, maybe .75".
Pulled cap and cotter pin, unscrewed the nut by hand, bearing came out still in tact.
I have a couple of questions.
1. Should I replace the stub axle? Not sure if it is still in spec.
2. Does the rotor have a bearing race that is replaceable or can I buy the rotor assembly complete?
I'm look at the TDI parts site now. I don't want to put a new bearing in a bad race or on a bad spindle.
