Important! : Citroen saxo rear beam

[Jonathancilia]

Hi, my diesel saxo has play in the rear beam and im going to remove the beam and get it to a specialist to press new pins for me, are there different pins that i should be aware of or they are the same for all saxos? Mine is a 1.5D year 2000, without ABS, 4 stud wheels and power steering

The main axle tube stubs are all the same size.

Make sure when you re-assemble, you get "expensive" good quality bearings with many needle rollers in the cage. the cheap ones don't last at all.

Yeah, youre right, i am going to buy a complete set of shafts and bearings and seals from ebay, the brand is SNR, made in france i think. Bearings look good and have alot of rollers

I need a front wheel bearing, i am told that there are 2 types, i have the tapered driveshaft with the end shaped like a cone where it touches the bearing, and i have the wide axle nut not the small nut, is it correct if i buy the 66mmx35mmx32mm?

That size sounds totally wrong.

All bearing outers are 72mm across all models.

Width is always 33mm

the inner diameter is 37mm for a taper shaft/hub combo and 35mm for the non taper shaft and hub combo

You need the 37mm one.

There are 2 types on ebay, one with 66mm outer diameter and 35mm inner, and one with 72mm outer diameter and 37mm inner.

I think the 66mm diameter one is fot the 3 stud version, i have got the driveshaft with a taper end but mine is 4 stud

You need the 72*33*37

All 4 stud struts take 72mm bearings.
