My current legs
My current legs
I've been on a journey of discover with my front legs. I have two sets one set is on the car with the springs in place etc and the other is in my workshop ready to have new bearings pressed in and be used as a swap over. When I checked the part numbers on the back of both sets of legs (which was hard considering they were nearly worn smooth) they are 90334224 and 90334223. I couldn't find this in the EPC at all but after some investigation I've found out that those part numbers are for legs that belong to a C20NE/C20XE
The actual turbo part numbers are 90447951 and 90447950.
Does anyone know of there is any difference between the legs? Remember I've been running with these legs for as long as I've owned the car (so 9 years) and never noticed an issue. I know for a fact they are the same length but I was wondering if there were any other differences I should be aware of?

Re: My current legs
wheel bearing size diffrence maybe?
Re: My current legs
and/or the spring cup diameter i.e are the turbo springs a bigger diameter than 8v springs? obviously not an answer but if you have access to measure its something i would look at

Re: My current legs
I called Autovaux for conformation and well they can't find those numbers either all they know is my car is early type and the legs were superseded.
The wheel bearings I have been supplied are 39x74x39 where as the earlier bearings where 39x72x37 so I'll have to try and get them fitted and see how it goes.

Re: My current legs
I would be tempted to measure the space between the circlip grooves on the legs first to make sure they fit and the hub diameter possibly. Something is going to be different looking at the measurements.

Re: My current legs
The 4stud and 5 stud legs are definatly differant, the bearing size is differant.

Yup as per my above post here are the sizes:
39 x 74 x 39 <--What I've been supplied that doesn't fit.
39 x 72 x 37 <- What I now need to buy.

Re: My current legs
Have you found some 39 x 72 x 37 bearings?
