The lower front axle bearing (OEM 311 401 301C) is located in the front axle and supports the weight of your vehicle. This needle bearing wears out over the years due to sand and moisture - so replacement is necessary when you're overhauling the front axle. Please note: this is truly a part where you need a delicate touch during installation – position it at an angle and check that it rotates smoothly. Combine this with the upper front axle bearing - and your front axle will be as good as new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#f9f9f6;border-left:4px solid #2d6a35;border-radius:4px;padding:14px 18px;margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:0.75em;font-weight:700;color:#2d6a35;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.06em;margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:4px 0;font-size:0.88em;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#2d6a35;margin-right:8px;font-weight:bold;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003ereplacement part (311 401 301C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:4px 0;font-size:0.88em;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#2d6a35;margin-right:8px;font-weight:bold;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003eSuitable for Beetle - Karmann Ghia and Type 3 from 08\/1965\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:4px 0;font-size:0.88em;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#2d6a35;margin-right:8px;font-weight:bold;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003eDirect replacement bearing for lower front axle mounting point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:4px 0;font-size:0.88em;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#2d6a35;margin-right:8px;font-weight:bold;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003eEssential for maintaining steering response and wheel alignment stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e0e0d8;border-radius:4px;padding:14px 18px;margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:0.75em;font-weight:700;color:#555;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.06em;margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:0.88em;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0ea;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#777;width:45%;\"\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#1a1a1a;font-weight:500;\"\u003eVW Beetle, VW Karmann Ghia, VW Type 3, VW Type 181\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0ea;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#777;\"\u003eYear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#1a1a1a;font-weight:500;\"\u003eBeetle, KG 08\/65-, Type 3, Type 181\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0ea;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#777;\"\u003eOEM reference number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#1a1a1a;font-weight:500;\"\u003e311 401 301C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#777;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"BBT\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/4678\/6124\/files\/BBT-original_800x800.png\" style=\"height: 24px; width: auto; vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 8px;\" title=\"BBT\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.8em; color: #777; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003eBBT\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BBT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57293364920652,"sku":"1396-6","price":16.87,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/4678\/6124\/files\/1396-6.jpg?v=1777571239","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagedub.com\/products\/bbt-1396-6","provider":"VintageDub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
