new axle??? urgent help needed

[Marcos]

on friday night i went to turn corner bought 20mph and i lost the front end on ice and i regained control of the front and manged to turn then back skidded into kerb really hard, i got no body damage just bent my rear axle or torsion bar so back wheels are lyk \\ | | and the wheel is scrubbing on the boot side!! :n:

i was wondering if a 1.4 mk1 axle would fit a 1.1 mk2?? and how easy would it to do my self as theres a 1.4sx in scrappys by me:y: would any special tools be needed??? only reason i cant take it into garage is that i only have £270 which i doubt will get me far:n:

is it possible or think i should save for a garage??

rep given to everybody

[Joesnow]

I think all axles will fit... maybe not very easily if your chassis is bent :P

I think there are only a few varieties so for a straight forward swap just match...

- Drums 3 stud
- Drums 4 stud
- Disks 4 stud
- Disks 4 stud with abs

Think that’s it... someone correct me if I'm wrong though

Then there’s just 4 bolts (2 in the under boot carpet and 2 under back seats), 2 brake hoses and the handbrake cable holding the whole assembly on! Just have to take the exhaust off (cat back) and the spare wheel off! And it should be a simple swap!

Only special tools you will need are a deep 18mm socket (most socket sets skip 18mm:homme: ), a brake hose spanner and a piece of clear pipe to bleed the brakes.

[Marcos]

i dont have rear discs so i wont need to bleed them will i cause i only have drums???

[pepper953]

nope you still need to bleed the brakes,you have to disconect them to get old axle out

[Marcos]

right ok then how easy are they to bleed?

[yd51vtr]

Why dont you just uprate to a VTR rear axle with disks?

[Marcos]

cause im skint and i need to be able to do it my self as i cant afford garage atm and theres only a 1.4sx in scrappy

[yd51vtr]

its just that ur profile says ur cars soon to be a vts and if you go through with it i would imagne ur going to need the extra stopping power of the disks?

[Marcos]

no my car aint going to be a vts im buying a vts as standard im just waiting on no claims as aint got enough to get 1

[yd51vtr]

o right sorry bud but the way it says it give me the impression your doing a engine conversion. Back to the point, i did my rear axle for £200 with brand new brakes on it me n 2 mates fitted it (as it is quite heavy) 4 bolts and the whole thing drops mate really easy to do but as said before just make sure u have a brake hose spanner.

[Marcos]

right ok then cheers only thing im gonna struggle with it is getting it home im going to see if i can borrow a tranny van from work for the afternoon.. and will a adjustable spanner do??? if not il buy one do you no how much they are???

[yd51vtr]

i'd just buy one mate there only really small you should be able to pick one up from halfrads or sumwere like that for a few quid. You will always have it then if you need to use it again.

[Marcos]

i hope i never have to do it again haha you make it sound quite sound straight forwards i dont no much about cars tbh but lad (jonezy) who i hope is helping me does i think

[yd51vtr]

serious mate its a piece of piss we did it in about a hour.

[Marcos]

that has to be a exaguration or however you spell it itd take me that long 2 jack it up jokin lol i dont no nothing bought cars though

iv all ready lookd on ebay only one is that furio one wich i dont have the money for and i dont have rear discs or abs and i dont fancy adaptin for them i just want to get it on road:y:

[jonezy]

the rear track of a vtr/ vts is wider and base models struggle with space for tyre width, so rubbing is more likely with a vt axle.


sure il do it on thursday for you, does your dad have a driveway?

id rather leave my car in carnforth than heysham.

[adnandunn]

i payed 150 quid for a vtr rear axel with disks and pads,
you cant convert the 1.1. 1.4 axel over to acomidate disks as the spindels arnt long enough.

yeah i know you can put a vtr axel on a 106 quicksilver
however you cant get a axel that has drums on it and change the drums for disks as the spindels arnt long enough and the wheel would rub on the axel

[Marcos]

all fixed thanks to jonezy
