Subject:85-91 sliding door horizontal bearings

The two 22 mm OD bearings that sit in horizontal position under the sliding door cover . I just replaced a couple on friends van. The originals were worn out, one of them very worn out.

Friend bought four online, around 2 bucks each. Double seal, deep groove bearings. OD 22mm, ID 8mm, thickness 7mm.

They sit on studs on the door mechanism, held in place by circlip. Circlips replaced by E clips.

Just a heads up, less expensive to buy the bearing by specifications rather than the VW part number (251.843.425A).
