b5 real wheel bearing

[solowb5]

Is the rear spindle/hub assembly of a b5 avant as a b5 sedan

[Greyhound Guy]

Almost positive it is the same. The differences on the outside of the 2 models changes behind the wheel well.

That's what I figured. I knew the springs where different. Thanks. Can't wait to get into my avant next week.

[Greyhound Guy]

Springs aren't different, just sprung different if you know what I mean.

what years are you talking about?

i meant aren't different.

I thought the rear springs were different then the sedan. I know the fronts are the same.

I swapped my coilovers from my sedan to my avant with no problems. The rear is a hair lower since its heavier, but thats about it.

I know there was a difference in bearing sizes. I'm not positive on when the split occured.

i just checked, the fronts are different but the rears are the same in the b5 a4 quattros. The front of a 2001 is different from previous years.

Ah that's what it was bc I sold a set of stock springs to a b5 avant from my 01 sedan and he said one side didn't fit.
