Replacing hub off a different car

[Slo]

My car failed its mot miserably, it was expected as the car was bought very cheap with most known problems.

Worst being the suspension being in a very poor and dangerous state. I've got a refurbed rear axle from imaxles off ebay here to go on so that will be fine hopefully and ive also got new bones, drop links and track rod ends.

The old front n/s wishbone is so loose it looks like a mortar and petri dish, the ball joint is so loose it has widened the hub clamp hole so badly it is no good



Now i've got a friend whos breaking a cc but its only a 1.6 where mine is a 2.0.

According to servicebox they are exactly the same hubs, hub carriers, bearings, legs and springs, the only difference being the diesel has a different hub.

Does anyone know for sure if I buy the leg and hub assembly that my 2.0 driveshaft will fit it?

Also need a windscreen too.

Cheers Andy

360 odd thousand of these cars made, only 18 views and no replies lol.

Well I only got half way through doing this today but I can confirm that the 1.6 cc's hub, and hub carrier are identical to the 2.0 cc's and my driveshaft fits it fine. So now you know.

Just need a few gorillas to help me fit the new wishbones now

Not yet I ran out of daylight and strength dealing with these dreadful wishbones
