What is this part called?
1966-1979 VW Beetle Original Front Wheel Bearing Thrust Washer
What does this part do on a VW?
This original VW thrust washer forms part of the front hub and wheel bearing assembly. It is positioned between the outer front wheel bearing and the spindle clamping nut, providing the correct surface for adjustment and retention of the front wheel bearing.
The washer features a locating tab which sits within the groove in the front spindle, preventing the washer from rotating with the wheel bearing. Its condition is important when correctly setting the front wheel bearing play, as a damaged or excessively worn washer can affect the adjustment of the hub assembly.
This is an original VW component rather than a modern reproduction. Each part has been cleaned and put through a blacking process to improve corrosion resistance and help increase the longevity of the original component.
Original front hub hardware can become worn, damaged or heavily corroded after decades of use. A refurbished original thrust washer is an ideal choice for restorations and front suspension rebuilds where retaining genuine Volkswagen components is preferred.
