planning of fitting hubs and rest of set up this week to my 1.8 focus, will i need to use the shafts of the st170 or will my exsisting driveshafts fit into the splines on the st170 hubs, cheers

also if i do need to use the st shafts will i be able to split them so i just use the outter shaft for the hub and use my normal shaft from the box and join them up?? if ya get what i mean! cheers

 

no reason to change driveshafts

 

so my zetec shafts will fit fine into st hubs? cheers

 

no need to change shafts, they fit perfect.

done it on my 2l which has the mtx75 box and loads have done it on 1.8s and 1.6s.

i warn you now though the hub nuts need torqueing to 316 NM!!!!! i had to buy a new torque wrench to do this job and that still only went upto 300NM so just tweeked it a bit more

 

sorted, means i can prob rack some money back off the st shafts!
