1.4 struts on a 2.0 HDI - KevinTW - 15-10-2013
Apologies if this has already been covered. Will the front struts and hubs from a 1.4 hatch be the same as those from a 2.0 HDI Meridian estate? The diesel must be heavier. I have a spare set from a 1.4. The brake discs are different.
Thanks
Kevin

The hubs are likely to be smaller ball joints, 16mm as opposed to 18.
Afaik the struts are different. The springs definitely are

The hubs would be the same fitment at the strut entry point.
As Jonny said the ball joints could be a different size.
Are you trying to lower the car or something?

Springs and damper rates are way too soft, the 1.4 is a lot lighter up front. If it's an early car the upright and bearing is different too, but the TU shafts are different even on the later ones so you can't use the hubs.
