1.9 Hubs

[Rolando 10]

i stripped a 205 a few years ago which had 1.9 hubs and driveshafts but today when i dug them out to fit to my cti i remembered the hubs weren't the same. one of them i assume is from a 306 as its not the same i shape casting as the 205 uses and it had an abs sensor hole.

 

apart from them looking opposite to each other can i still use it or will it affect it having 2 different hubs? or can i remove the bearing and housing and fit that to a 1.6 hub so they match each other with the i shape casting?

 

thanks

306 hub will give positive camber on a 205.

 

The drive flange and bearing are the same as a 1.9.

 

1.6 hub uses a smaller bearing.

Ahh ok. So the casting it's self between the 1.6 and 1.9 are totally different?

[welshpug 1,655]

Yes, theyre the same as a base model bar the taller offset drive flange

[Rolando 10]

ahh ok! thanks for that. i'll try and find a 1.9 hub and use the bearing I've got in the 306 as its brand new. thanks again.

[welshpug 1,655]

you mean the bearing which is fitted to the 306 hub already?

[Rolando 10]

yeh use the drive flange and bearing from the 306 hub and fit it on the 1.9 hub when i source one depending the condition of the bearing in the first place

[welshpug 1,655]

you can't re-use bearings, they're cheap anyway.

Changing the subject slightly but I don't understand the logic for the taller offset on a 1.6. There is no advantage to it is there? If you where to change the drive flange for a base model would it give the same track as a 1.9? I just don't like the look of a 1.6 with the obvious difference in track front to rear unlike the 1.9.
