Hi,
Im replacing the rear wheel bearings on my 1989 340 it has the type with the 2 bearings in the hub.
Can u fit the 1 piece bearing in these hubs and if so is it better ?

Unlikely they can be changed in the hub, the hub is designed differently, but I thought the 89 should have been a 1 piece dual row bearing. There is a couple of good threads on how to change this, not easy but doable with basic tools. I have spare circlips if you need them.
You could probably change the hub if you don't have the right type.

Actually just reread that thread, damn good it was
You can't change the hub type it seems, but I am guessing you have the later one anyway.
