Has anyone done this before and if so how exactly did you go about doing it ?
The car is a Sierra GL with a 24v Cosworth engine, it runs the full 5 stud Granada setup on the back but the front is still 4 stud as apparently the Granada stuff isn't a straight swap over.
I have heard some hubs off a xr4x4 are needed but not sure if that is correcr or not so wouldn't mind knowing for sure before trying to source any parts for the job.
Any advice would be appreciated

I have been told the XR4x4 and Granada Cosworth uses the same wheel bearing which is another reason I imagine they are interchangable.

i dont own a xr4x4 anymore, i own a mondeo st24 and a escort cosworth ![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
but the xr4x4 uses the same diameter shock as a 4wd cosworth so would be the same as a granada id imagine
only thing is im not to sure if the granada shock is taller or not or the size of the springs used as these could differ, but the diameter that goes into the hub is the same
