Detailed Fitment and Application

WTLM503349A is a multi-application bearing used in driveline assemblies where precise support and low-friction operation matter. It appears in numerous OE-style service locations, including BMW rear differential applications, Audi and Volkswagen transmission-related bearing positions, and select Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Chrysler, and Dodge driveline setups. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Compatible With 2017-2019 Chrysler 300, front left with Mercedes-Benz axle; 2007-2018 Dodge Charger, front left with 175mm ring gear; 2006-2017 Volkswagen GTI, bearing only; 2006-2017 Volkswagen Jetta, bearing only; 2006-2009 BMW 323i, rear with BMW 188K differential; and 2007-2009 BMW 335i, rear with BMW 188N differential. Additional coverage includes Audi A4 Quattro, Volkswagen Passat, Porsche Boxster, Mercedes-Benz E350, and Jaguar XJ8/XKR rear outer applications. The part number WTLM503349A is also used across older BMW 325i, 528i, X5, and 911 bearing positions.

What This Bearing Helps Address

• Noise or roughness from a worn axle or differential bearing
• Excess friction in rotating driveline components
• Loose or unstable bearing support in serviceable assemblies
• Vibration caused by bearing wear in rear or front driveline locations
• Replacement needs for bearing-only service positions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the exact year, make, model, position, and transmission or differential note before ordering. This bearing is used in multiple configurations, including BMW 188K and 188N differentials, Getrag and ZF transmission applications, and select Mercedes-Benz transfer case setups. Match the original bearing location carefully, especially on front left, rear outer, inner, and rear inner applications.
