Discontinued Front wheel bearing kit "88 740 non turbo

Post by JAGCHiker »

Any one have solution to '88 740 non turbo front wheel bearing replacement? The Hub assembly kit ending in 45; is discontinued. Is there an aftermarket solution? Is it a reliable solution to put the orignal ring on a 44 kit( one after market solution)?

Have you checked our sponsor, myVolvoPartsOnline, link above? They have the 45 listed.

The 44 was for 1989 onwards and can be used but you do need to use the original ABS ring.

They are out as well. This seems to be a real problem- tried getting meistersatz 271703 bearings and they were wrong as well.
