Rear axel outer bearings difference
« on: August 08, 2018, 20:32:23 »
Is there a difference between right and left axel outer bearing? On my 280 the left bearing is a ball type and the right one is a roller type.

Yes, significant difference. Right one is a self-centering one. Please use search function, type in "rear bearing". You will find all the information on type, replacement etc.
