If its going from 3 to 4 stud, the hubs and drums are smaller on the 3 studs. Easy way to convert the car is to get struts and a rear beam.

i was thinking that but ive not long had a new wishbone put on and that would have had a new balljoint, spoke to the mot tester and he reckons theres somethin upwith the hub but has 2 get a better look at it. was thinkin o jus changing the entire strut or just the hub if i could get awaywith it.:y:
