5 stud hubs vs 4 stud hubs

Help needed, found a GSi being broken not a million miles from me. Problem is i've got a 5 stud converted gsi with a damaged rear suspension arm. Can I swap the hub onto a 4 stud gsi arm? Many thanks!

Re: Rear Suspension Arm 5 Stud Converted GSi

So, there's a GSi being broken not a million miles away from me. Will a new gsi rear arm fit the 5 stud rear hub assembly? Any help appreciated!

Yes I'm thinking at one point it was a loved car! Says Opal on the plate in the engine bay so perhaps suggests German build? It's going to be a long road this one (given my skills) but a worthy restoration to get back on the road I feel!

Re: Rear Suspension Arm 5 Stud Converted GSi

Ahh, that explains a lot, the interior seems a somewhat higher spec than I was expecting aswell. Doesn't explain what looks like exterior vectra b door handles / and central locking however. Engine wise I think I'll have a crack at getting it running as is, if not just so I can sell it on to help fu...

Re: Rear Suspension Arm 5 Stud Converted GSi

I think someone must have spent a bit of money on the car back in the day! It's c25xe converted, although not running by a long stretch now. Question is do I spend time getting it going, return to a c20xe and perhaps carbs or go down the b204 route. Hmm decisions

Most appreciated! I'll get it off the car to have a better look first. I'm learning fast that parts are getting rare for these cars!

Rear Suspension Arm 5 Stud Converted GSi

Hi,

Not long picked up a 92 Cavalier GSi. It's had a 5 stud conversion. Problem is the rear wheel / suspension appears to have met with an object / kerb and is clearly out of true.

Am I correct in thinking I'll need a new rear suspension arm from a V6 Calibra?

Any help / advise appreciated

Regards
