mattmalden 0 Posted March 1, 2010 Hi, Thought I'd post the question here as its more about shopping than anything else. I hope it's ok? Anyway - my front hubs need replacing becasue the control arm ball joint clamp bit has worn and is no longer round, it keeps working loose. Simple question really - Are pattern parts any good? GSF are 2 minutes walk from me - does anyone know if they sell them and if so are they any good? Where's the best place to buy these for cost and quality? Thanks, Matt.

MerlinGTI 3 Posted March 1, 2010 The bit you want sounds like a 'hub carrier' or 'knuckle'. A 'hub' is the spinny circular bit that sits behind the disk and has the thread for the wheel bolts in it. Not being a smart arse, I just dont want you to get the wrong part ordered in. Have a look on GSF's site. If not there was a guy selling OE ones on ebay a while back pretty cheap.

Thanks Merlin, yes its the carrier I need-could have got entirely the worng part! D'oh. I guess by the lack of response that patern ones haven't had any ill effect!?

boombang 2 Posted March 3, 2010 Got a pair here, but would really need collecting due to weight. Waiting for the advert for lots of my bits to go live as I type. Maybe enough bits to make it worth you taking a trip over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
