Hubs

[Dale]

Came to swop the lower arms yesterday and I've got one 18mm and one 16mm all fun and games! Rang a local scrappy and he's got a pair off a gti-6 as far as I'm aware they were all 18mm is this correct?

[ozonehostile]

upto a t plate they should be 16mm. not too sure after that, 6's maybe used 18mm and pov spec remained 16mm as far as im aware

All good fun someone has been up the scrap yard I guess! Ill get another 18mm hub for the breaker I've already got the lower arms! The dealer said mine should be 18mm but who knows!

Can you not just have two different sized ball joints?

[HDIkyle]

Ye I have used both before. Just gota remember that when you buy new ones

Good man, It's pain when anything like this comes in as it takes another day to get the right parts in, But as said all 306's upto and around 99 used 16mm then after that the GTi's went to 18mm, no idea about other models

Mind don;t buy cheap wishbones

ill get a free weekend in feb get everything swapped over then! no harm in putting the 18mm hubs on there i had them cheap enough! then all that's left is wheels so i can swap the brakes over and get the rear beam on!

ive seen afew early ph1's with 18mm ball joints not sure if they were pas most likely to be manual steering! made abit of a mess of that arm theres loads of cheap tat floating about on the net at the moment see it every day at work ppl think its saving them money but not in the long run!
