Axle question again

[-Jason-]

Will a vtr rear axle work on a vts due to the lack of abs?

Will a vtr rear axle work on a vts due to the lack of abs?yes but your abs light will be on(on the dash)all the time

[kevmc]

You can fit the abs off the vts axle onto the vtr one to keep abs on the car. Its not a big job once youve changed the axle its just a case of removing the abs sensors and hubs and putting them on the new axle. The holes for the sensors will already be ther on the vtr axle to fit them mate.

just swap the trailing arms over.

Sorry forgot I had this thread lol

If my radius arm have play in the bush/pin could I just swap these bits over

I know nothing about rear axles ;)

[williamsvts]

yes, but put new bearings and seals in your trailing arms.

Any idea on price?

[williamsvts]

£60 from pug/cit for both sides.

[-Jason-]

So would it be better to get a second hand one and do that or just do that to mine like I said it failed on:

Both radius arms movement in bush/pin and a rear wheel bearing

[williamsvts]

you would need to fit a new stub pins into yours to refurb it, which you cant buy from shops or garages. they need to be made. i could make you some but you'd need somewhere to press them in for you.

So better to get a second hand one then lol

[williamsvts]

not really, coz you dont know if its fucked or how long its going to last.

[-Jason-]

Well what do you suggest I dont have 300 for a refurbed one lol

[williamsvts]

if it was me i would refurb my own. but most people just get a 2nd hand 1 and hope for the best.

[-Jason-]

Think thats what I will have to do lol

Thanks for all your help though

While your here how much for 283mm brakes for future reference?
