Hello,

I have a Golf 3 AFN (with a plus-sized axle) and have been driving it for about 80,000 km with a sports suspension (KW springs 60/40, Bilstein dampers) and for 25,000 km with a set of 7.5x16 inch wheels with 215 40 R16 tires.
Meanwhile, I'm noticing that the bearings in the suspension are definitely being affected. icon_cry.gif

Now I'd like to ask if anyone has any experience with replacing bearings.

front:
Trailing arms attached to the body.
Trailing arms on wheel carriers.
rear:
Cross-linked steering axis to body.

The strut mounts have already been replaced.

Is it very complicated to replace the bearings? Are the bearings pressed in?
'How much does a set like that usually cost?'

Thank you.

Hello Markus,

It's all tedious work! To simplify things, I would replace the entire control arms with new ones, including the bearings.

best regards
Albrecht.
