Rear wheel bearing replacement, Parts needed? Options

[JawjaPorsche]

My right rear bearing is making noises. I called my mechanic and he said to get parts and he would install it.

I am looking at the exploded view of rear axle. (See below)

When I order parts, do I just need the Bearing #28?

Is there a race for the control arm because I don't see one?

Does he need to remove CV axle and tap out the bearing from the inside?

Thank you in advance for your help.

What’s the life expectancy for a rear bearing ?
And, are the different brands equal in quality ?

Life = 100k miles if using a quality bearing and installed properly. Not including AX and track use. Normal road use. Proper installation and bearing pre-load (via proper hub stub torque) is critical to getting that kind of life. If I had to guess, I’d bet 40% of DIY installs are done incorrectly resulting in much shorter life.

All brands are not the same quality. Stick to the major suppliers. GKN, FAG, NSK, Timken. There are lots of other engineering details like bearing class but outside the scope of this forum.

Buy from reputable suppliers and they should be taking care of the fitment details on your behalf.
