Default Photos of hubs?

An anorakish question I know but does anybody have a photo of a 3 door hub, RS500 hub and Sapphire hub with or without track control arms pls. Looking to find some 3 door hubs and TCAs but I'm not sure what I'm looking for or what I have at the moment.

Cheers,


Charlie

Charlie saff and 3dr hubs are easy to tell apart,3dr hub uses a nut on ball joint,saff hub uses a pinch bolt to hold lower ball joint in place

OK. I found these pictures off old Ebay auctions. Are they correct?

3 door/RS500:


4X4

I know that the 3 door hubs are photographed from the back but I'm having a hard time seeing what's different?

have a look at the top photo where the track control arms fit - they use a nut on top of the TCA ball joint, as opposed to a pinch bolt on the saff and escort hubs (which you can't see in the following 2 photos)

Default osf wheel bearing on a saff cossie 4x4

hi people whats the best way to get the hub carrier off. Is it easier to drop the it out with the shocker still fitted or is it just as easy to separate them. Also is it easier to drop the anti roll bar down to make it easier to remove hub carrier. Ive got a ball joint slitter but i dont wanna cut the ball joint boot. Is there an easier way to remove the bottom arm. Also is it right that the torque setting for the hub nut is 235Nm?

Hi Charlie,
There are other ways of changing the castor without having to pay silly money for 3 door hubs. Mark should be able to help you out with the detail. I run Saph hubs on the 3dr.
Cheers
