Cavalier mk3 1.8 front hubs. And v non abs

Post by bigg1115 »

Hi.

Does anyone no for certain if a full front hub/leg from a abs 1.8 Cavalier. Fit a non abs car. Just I have loads of play on wheel bearing. But have a full spare car which had recent new bearings.

Thanks.

Okay the leg will fit any cavalier ( and calibra) except V6.

The hubs will fit any 1.8 or 2.0 petrol and 1.7 diesel Cavalier except turbo models.

The hub on 1.6 and 1.4 has a smaller diameter. Except C16LZ2 / C16NZ2

As for fitting an ABS hub to non-ABS , then no issue.

If it was the other way round, (non-ABS onto an ABS car), then the ABS would not work due to missing toothed-wheel signal.

I hope that helps.
