Steering knuckle and rear callipers.

CPH · Dec 14th, 2016, 16:46

I'm quite urgent need of an offside steering knuckle, including hub/bearing for 25mm shaft, and a pair of rear callipers if anyone can help?

I am stripping a T5 at the mo. Rear calipers are gone but what do you mean by steering knuckle? Do you mean the hub spindle? if so I will have that

The steering knuckle is the big lump of clog-iron that bolts to the bottom of the strut and above the balljoint.

However, I could be wrong, but I reckon if it's off a T5 it will have a bearing with 28mm bore. Already made that mistake; they don't tend to work too well with a 25mm drive shaft :/

As far as I know there are only 3 types of bearing / hub

4 Stud
5 Stud with 36mm nut
5 Stud with 13mm bolt

Minty is breaking an XC, rear calipers should be the same

You may be right but I can't comment from experience.

Mine is definitely 5 stud but there seems to be two types of bearing; 28mm bore with 36 splines or 25mm bore with 26 splines. I didn't know this and stupidly assumed Volvo would have standardised the bearing across the model.

Of course I ordered the wrong one and a 25mm shaft in a 28mm bearing doesn't make for great transmission of drive!

I've got a pair of rear calipers removed off that 98 V70R I broke last year if they're any good to you? For a FWD model only, AWD rear calipers are different.

I think the different front hubs are due to age, me7 have the one and the older age models the other, don't ask which is which I can't remember. The shaft on the older car is held on by a nut whereas the new is a bolt.
