The wheel fell of the tension pulley of my CRD JK yesterday:
Turned out the bearing failed and the wheel just span off.
While I've been able to get a replacement wheel and bearing I'm not too confident about the spring arm itself:
It's a little subtle, but see how the gap is bigger on the left than the right. I'm wondering if this is what caused the bearing to fail in the first place. In any event I'd prefer to replace the whole arm but what Jeep are asking for the part should be criminal! Does anyone know where I could get the part at a reasonable price, or even if I need to replace the current one?
I have tried "Car Parts Plus" on O'Sutherlands Beach Road, Sprints Auto, Repco and Autobarn all to no avail. No one even seems to be able to find the part number on there system.
I also came across this thread from a few years ago asking about the exact same thing but unfortunately no solutions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Slarti.
