Rear wheels inner 113501283 A

Rear wheels outer
replaced by
113501277 B

Are these the two bearings I need on either side? I have quite the grinding noise on the passenger side when I make left turns. I think it is time for a new set of rear bearings.

If I go by Advance Auto, they give me a National 206 and National 306 for a cross on those. Is this correct? Just looking for some input from those who have done it before.

Don't know about the cross over numbers, but the inner bearing number is 113 501 283, and the outer bearing number is 113 501 277A.

6206-2rs/c3 ball bearing, and a NU306ECP cylindrical roller bearing from SKF, FAG, NTN, NSK, etc

Any local industrial bearing supplier should have them available, and be able to cross the numbers for you.
Just don't buy the cheap chinese crap in the white boxes.
Don't forget to change the seals, and change the grease too.

Is BECK/ARNLEY a trusted brand?

No, that would probably be reboxed import quality

Are Airhead Parts products any good? They have minimal information about what they are selling.

I believe CIP offers a choice between basic quality and higher quality wheel bearings. Choose wisely.

Thanks for that tip. CIP is $18 cheaper, total, than Rock Auto. Rock Auto was SKF. CIP says "OE Quality. Not China"

I think I will go that way.

VWC-113-501-283-GR - OE QUALITY INNER STUB AXLE BRG IRS - BEETLE 69-79 / GHIA 69-74 / TYPE 3 69-74 / THING 73-74 (NOT MADE IN CHINA)

VWC-113-501-277-AGR - OE QUALITY OUTER AXLE BRG IRS - BEETLE 69-79 / GHIA 69-74 / TYPE 3 69-74 / THING 73-74 (NOT MADE IN CHINA)

Yes, most of their products are good. If you have a question about a part, call their toll free phone number.
