323i wheel bearing

Post by Alpina123 »

Hi does anyone know where I could get these? One is a 58mm and the other a 62mm seem to be unique to a 323 I've had all the others but they are both 58mm, I have tried most places, can anyone help ?thanks

I believe 62mm is a separate ring around the inner bearing, inner bearing should be 31.7x59.1x15.8

Yeah I've got the 62mm one I can get a 58mm one out of a 318 bearing kit for example but the bore size isn't big enough so won't go over the splines

We did some puzzling a while back and came to the following conclusion, can you confirm this?

4 cyl strut bearings: 29.0x50.29x14.22 & 17x39.87x13.84
6 cyl strut bearings: 31.7x59.1x15.8 & 19x45.23x15.49

There shouldn't be more different versions in E21 struts afaik.

This is the rear wheel bearing, seems to be unique to a disc arm I can't find one anywhere
