Front Hubs
Posted: Sat Jan 13, 2018 4:03 am
I am re-assembling the front suspension for my S2 rebuild - using original uprights and hubs with new "bolt-on" stub axles and bearings - both purchased from TTR.
With the bearings in the old hub I find the hub slips over the axle so far the D washer and nut engage the step in the stub axle before they hold the outer bearing face. Plus even with the outer bearing pushed in as far as it will go I have 3-4 mm of slack. TTR assure me I have the correct stub axles.
Sadly the old stub axles seem to be the only "old" parts I can't find - so I can't compare with those.
Any suggestions on the problem would be helpful.
Thanks -- John
