        Those spacers are not part  of any rear wheel bearing kit I have
ever seen.  The spacers are a VW only  item and must be checked for their
overall length which is CRITICAL.  I  have the length of them published on my
_Vanagon New Parts_ (http://frankcondelli.com/sales.htm)  webpage under  the
"Wheel Bearings" heading>  Spacer, rear wheel bearings, 42.8 mm  long, 211
