Wanted Sierra Front Hubs

[maccavvy]

Wanted asap .Sierra front hubs..unmodified

 

Someone has drilled the ones I got out so not tapered anymore.

 

So need some or it stays off road forever

[Guest Ian & Carole]

Can Rich not make an insert to fit into your original hubs ???

[maccavvy]

Rich says buy some others to be safe...

 

Will 4x4 ones fit ????

[Dave Ed]

I think the 4x4 hubs use different TCAs, pinch bolt instead of a nut. I think the size is the same. I discovered this when I purchased adjustable TCAs.

No unless you want all the faff of cutting down a set of front drive shafts as I believe the shaft holds the wheel bearing in place.

Bottom as a rose joint instead of a ball joint ?? then you could use the drilled out hole with a 8.8 bolt

[maccavvy]

So it won't be tapered then if it uses a pinch bolt they are straight iirc with a groove for the pinch bolt..So even if shaft doesn't hold it in its no good.

 

@Ian..what you mean.

[Dave R]

What ian says will work

[maccavvy]

got it in laymans terms???

[Guest Ian & Carole]

The 4X4 has front drive shafts that not only drive the front wheels but hold the front wheel bearing together.

 

To get them to work you will need to have a set of front drive shafts machined to hold the bearing in place.

 

They rely on the front hub nut on the drive shaft to keep them in place.

 

 

 

..........or did you mean the rose joint option ?

 

Use two of these instead of bottom ball joints

The problem with hubs is that someone has drilled the taper hole far too deep and as a result the hub sits too low on the tapered peg and caused the hub to clash with the ball-joint socket during the suspension travel.

 

As a temporary fix to allow me to finish the suspension, I've drilled out a thick washer and placed it on the tapered peg to prevent the hub from dropping too far down.......THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE USED ON THE ROADS....hence the wanted post for replacement hubs.

 

 

 

I could drill out the hubs and press-fit a tapered bush....but this comes with its own set of problems and the better solution would be to do it properly with a replacement set of hubs.

Are those Sierra bottom ball joints? They look like Cortina to me --- ??

 

I have a pair of "Sierra" hubs but would need to check them out to be sure they are what you require MacC
