This is the heavy duty rated bearing kit specified for the rear of a Rialta. We get it from Germany where it is sold for VW cargo vans and other applications that call for an uprated bearing like the Rialta does. This kit can also be used on the front, but is overkill for that purpose and the standard kit (linked below) will do just fine.
Buyer Beware: Many other sites ship standard rated bearings even if you order the heavy duty ones. This is because a commonly used industry catalog mistakenly lists them as interchangeable. They are not. The standard ones physically fit, but they are not rated to handle the weight of a Rialta, and have been known to fail catastrophically under load.
Installation Notes: Install the bearing with the side that has numbers/letters stamped into it facing the outside of the vehicle. The nut should be torqued to 148 ft lbs. Due to the Rialta design it may loosen over time so check the torque periodically; Loctite can help.
