	What bolts were you using? the proper pinch bolts from vaux that have a shoulder? or just normal bolts? :o

	I am prepared for it! Yea they were definately tight enough, ran out of threads and there was still play in the ball joint...

	Are you sure you have them tight enough? :lol: No idea on hubs mate will be a vaux only thing id imagine so hope you have plenty money :lol:

	Bought new ball joints and bolts, still too much play for a test so had to get new hubs... You got any idea of the price chief?
B3KAN	posted on 30th Jul 08 at 12:13
	Plus there is a slot cut in the ball joint that the pinch bolt goes through so there is no play :) Mabe the pinch bolt is worn? get some new ones from vaux, before replacing hubs i would try some new ball joints first, and new pinch bolts and make sure there tight and there should be no play :thumbs:

	Clearly never had my torque wrench set at RFT then :lol:

	On a 2000 car yes :lol: Ive had a few corsas and never had to replace a hub :o The reason there is a slot cut on the hub for the ball joints is so it gets a tight grip when the bolt is tightend

	Metal on metal wear over years, not that strange tbf...
B3KAN	posted on 30th Jul 08 at 11:55
	Strange :boggle:
Ellis	posted on 30th Jul 08 at 11:53
	Ball joint hole has worn so it's badly oversize
B3KAN	posted on 30th Jul 08 at 11:07
	Why do you need new hubs :boggle:
Ellis	posted on 30th Jul 08 at 11:00
	And £price for hubs?
fazza	posted on 30th Jul 08 at 10:20
	ball joints are about 7quid iirc from vauxhall-car-parts.co.uk mate
Ellis	posted on 30th Jul 08 at 09:55
	Does anyone happen to know how much two front hubs and ball joints would cost on a x14xe Corsa (2000) Just trying to gauge my bill for MoT... :thumbs:
