noob from far away - needs help right away..
Hi folks !
my name is thomas, i am 39 years and native german, i have a 1971 dodge monaco which i really enjoy, but having a "foreign" car in germany, esp. an US made is sometimes pretty tricky, esp when it comes to spares.
so here i go..just signed up today in hope to get help from a huge crowd...
yesterday my car started acting weird and making bad suspension noise.
so i started checking all 4 corners and stopped at the right front wheel..jacked it up,pulled the tire...damn..i was pretty lucky..the front wheel bearing is totally shot ! like really shot ! it ate up the race - no bearing ***** left..it run steel on steel... already have nice deep blue colours on the leftovers of the bearing.........
so here i am... i need a new knuckle as it is damaged also, new front wheel bearings and discs....
where will i find these parts and does anyone eventually know which cars of that years share those parts ?
thanks a lot for looking and any help is appreciated...

I would say any C body with disk brakes would work. Get the correct side, rt & left side are different Problem is finding one ? In the US it would be no problem. Trying to ship it would be expensive

i am aware of high shipping costs as i ordered parts before but struggling to get just this, another question about the discs- it is one piece atm disc & hub together with the wheel studs - do i need to press the studs out to dissamble both parts or is it one piece from factory?

It is a one piece disk, hub & wheel studs installed

Tom -
For the entire assembly there are Mopar salvage yards in the US. www.moparcity.com is one and there are others. Since you know about the shipping, there shouldn't be any surprises.
Just curious, where in Germany are you?
