Rear Linkage bearings

Post by jonnygal » 26 Jan 2017, 16:02

Hi

I have a 1992 mk2 and currently have the shocker off for full refurb and want to get all the bearings and seals changed in the linkages.

I have looked at the F & Q section where I got some good info on this, just got one question. Where is the best place to buy a full set of rear linkage bearings and seals.

Thanks for your help

Jon

Personally I find it easier to give leisure trail a call , some people say they're pricey but I think they're a lot more competitive than they were and Tom in the parts dept is a star .
There's a lot of info on here about alternative places for parts and what parts from other models fit the CRM

You can get all the bearings from a bearing factor shop like Simply bearings,but you'll have to measure yours first for the correct sizes.
On the linkage bearings, they come out slightly longer, which in a way is good, as gives more bearing surface, additionally they have two seals built into the bearing as well,which helps if the crud gets past the first seal.

Excellent

Thanks for that, I will get it stripped and measure the bearings.
