How are you going on with this, are youall sorted?
I have just recently done my front swivels and this was the start of the spanner work for me on my truck. Boy there is a lot to learn, with much of the learning being about different parts as many items have been changed over the vehicles lifetime. My truck is 1992/3 with a 300tdi fitted but I believe 200tdi axles (its has discs front and rear). Apparently this was change over period from 10 to 24 spline, with mine being a 10 spline. Mine has the thicker drive flanges so my alloys on the front have the centre cap missing as they don't fit onto the thicker flanged axles, so may be worth checking this on yours. I also believe the front hubs on mine are different to the back. I really am no expert, so please listen to advice from more experienced folk, but perhaps something to check. |

After a bit more research, it would appear that RUB500240 does fit the earlier models, but not the other way round. So FTC942 with not fit later models, I do not know the change over date. The reason is the earlier models fitted originally with FTC942 had a thicker drive shaft flange. I found a used hub locally and returned the other one after speaking to the supplier again.

The difference between the 10 spline shaft drive members and 24 spline shaft drive members is not only the thickness, but also the location diameter. IIRC, the thicker drive member is also larger in diameter.
So that means the hubs will also be different. I would not want to fit a hub that the drive flange is not located (diametrically) properly. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing 2012 90 CSW, 2.2TDCI, Santorini Black |

Does anyone have photos of the different hubs. Or perhaps dimensions, as this will help to get the correct hubs to replace what we need on our particular assemblies. I think often a supplier will just give what they think is the right part without actually taking nite of the subtle but important differences between them. At least if we know what we need we can ask them to shock the part before sending to us.
