you can machine astra/cav/cally hubs down to the dimensions of the corsa hub then use corsa bearings, but the wall thickness of the hub will be tiny and they'll deform next time you have to take them out. with this option you can use cav/cally/astra cv's with either the shafts off the donor (n/s slightly too long, but they do fit) or custom ones frommtech/cossvaux. | |

I wouldnt use cossvaux, not really sure that they know the meaning of customer service, all you'l get (after a long wait and loads of chasing phone calls) is machined down vaux hubs and a load of abuse if theres a slight prob, call LMF and get some quality stuff, not the cowboys from shefield. | |

Anyone using both CossVaux driveshafts and hubs? What inner and outer cv joints are you using aswell as bearings? | |

Apparently the Cossvaux hubs are just Astra GTE hubs machined down to fit standard corsa bearings. Is there any truth in this? | |

looking like everything cossvaux at the mo, if not just cos they're fairly local and quite reasonably priced | |

SRI-Co I see from previous posts that you are doing an XE conversion, which shafts/inner/outer cv's/hubs/bearings are you going to use? | |

I need to know what inner cv's/driveshafts/outer cv's/hubs/bearings you are all running with? To date, I know of CossVaux, M-Tech and Astra GTE shafts/hubs with the steering knuckles machined with group A bearings. If there are any other reliable ways of doing it please let me know. Ive been reading up on the forum and it appears that J100RSA, BeArDy and lee mitchel makes and sell their own? |
