Hi

My front passenger side bearing has gone on my 89 325i cab.

Looking into it does the bearing come separately or can you only buy the bearing with the hub?

Anyone have any recommendations of which to use & where to purchase?

Thanks

You can't buy just the bearing?

Would you recommend any places to purchase?

Cheers
