Front hub carrier / wheel bearing housing / steering knuckle...

Recommended Posts

My steering knuckle (as I call it) is now so worn that the wishbone ball joint just drops out the bottom, so I need to replace it.

 

VW want £200 and GSF etc dont supply it. Scanning the world of eBay there is a set of MK2 golf 16v hub carriers :

Would these fit my early 16v?

 

They look similar but I cant be sure - dont mind paying out for a decent set that WILL fit, but dont want to waste good money on something that wont work :(

 

Thanks in advance!

How does that wear out? I'd expect all of the early 4-cyl corrado ones and mk2 16v golf ones to be the same... not sure if the late 4-cyl corrados got the mk3 suspension or not.

incorrect pinch bolt fitted by previous owner and not spotted by me :(

 

Caused the ball joint to be able to move a small amount inside the carrier and over time has worn it away.
