front wheel bearings

17 Nov 2011, 4:06pm
hi all
does anybody know which front wheel bearings i need to fit to the hub and bearing housing supplied by vortex. Chris at vortex told me to use the bearings from a MK2 mondeo. I ordered them which were delivered to my local garage but they dont fit. The outer is to big to fit into the bearing housing and the centre is also too big for the hub

Graham - I think you've spoken to Chris about this already, are you sorted now?

Hi Eddy
Yes am sorted now. It was the mondeo mk3 front wheel bearings that i needed but the wheel bearing housings supplied by chris were wrong, they were 2mm oversize. Chris has supplied replacement ones and the chassis is now sat on all 4 wheels with the engine/box installed
