Inner Front Wheel Bearing Spacer Ring – VW Beetle, Karmann Ghia & Porsche 356 – 111405631B
Ensure the perfect fit and precise alignment of your front wheel bearing assembly. This high-quality spacer ring sits directly on the spindle steering knuckle right behind the inner wheel bearing. It is an essential component when rebuilding classic link-pin / kingpin front axles. A worn, distorted, or missing spacer ring can lead to excessive axial play and premature failure of the wheel bearing unit.
Our precision-manufactured reproduction matches the original factory specifications exactly, ensuring hassle-free installation and maximum durability for your classic ride.
