Subject:      Front passanger bearing etc.  Need parts and possibly
              instructions.

It's my own fault.  The grease cap kept coming off and now the outer
bearing failed.
I kept putting it back on but I didn't hear it come off the other
night.


I got everything off but the whole shaft has gotten so hot that it is
now worthless.
So I need parts to repair this 1984 Vanagon's front passanger side.


I had new rotors,bearings and pads.  But I'm going to need the whole
arm that goes between the
upper and lower ball joints or I am going to need some advice on just
changing the shaft.


I had planned on changing the lower ball joints.  I have new ones.
I changed the upper ball joints a little while ago.


So volks please bail me out with some parts and instructions!


John.
