Re: replace bearing in front hub assy?
You might be able to install it with a same year brake disc/rotor.
IIRC You also might have to use different caliper bolts, the older styles
might be too long.
I put a '90 XJ front hub and rotor on my '88 XJ (4 wheel drive). Definitely
different brake rotors.
I have seen new hubs for around $80 too!
I got two used '90 hubs for $10, so I gave one a try. :-)

Re: Does hub assembly have both bearings?
I guess that I am used to seeing them on most of the VWs that I work on.

You're talking about the old pans, still on the road, or sand
buggies, of course.

Re: Does hub assembly have both bearings?
Indeed, VW used them in the early A1 & B1 fwd cars (Rabbits & Dashers for
you non-VW types). Old Beetles had them until the dawn of ball jointed front
axles.
