Wheel Hub Interchangability (1991 Audi 100 Quattro)

Hi there,

My car is an 1991 Audi 100 Quattro 2.3NF. I am trying to find a wheel hub that will work with this car. So far, through research on ETKA the original part number is 443 407 615 B and I have only been able to source this hub at World Impex for the ridiculous price of $199.00. World Impex seems to be the only source for this part

I have found a 4 bolt hub for a automatic 1991 100 part number is W0133-1628394 for $45.00. Is there any way to use this hub instead of the original? Anyone know what other part numbers have been used for the oem one?

Thanks all for any responses,
Dan

It looks like one uses a stepped bearing and hub, the other doesn't and the inner bearing sizes are different. At a minimum the bearing will be different. Don't know if the wheel or the axle will fit.

I'd get it before there aren't any to be found. Any luck with finding one (or entire strut) at a junkyard?

*Update..
Looked everywhere for this hub... Managed to find it a little bit cheaper (new) for around 160.00. Apparently it's the last one Audi has in North America (maybe sales hype). The only one I was able to source from various junkyards within the US and Canada would have cost me 140.00 used. My next question is whether I'll have to change out the bearings? Anyone know whats involved in replacing a hub? Any special tools needed?
Thanks,
Dan
