Scirocco Register

i was wondering (i have read and perhaps misinterpreted..) that mk2 hubs and mk1 golf hubs are the same as mk1 rocco hubs?

anyone know for sure?

cheers

Ok further reading leads me to believe they are the same.. or certainly where the strut bolts on is the same :/

also i have read that on very early roccos the balljoint is much smaller but this does not apply to me..

can anyone confirm this so i dont go wastin my hard earned pennies?

cheers

Early balljoint size was 15mm. Later size is 17mm. You can fit the later size balljoints to an early hub, but you have to ream out the hole in the hub to fit.

What are you trying to put on where?

i just need new hubs and seen as mk1 hubs seem to be hard to come by and there are quite a few people breaking mk2s i was wondering if they would fit?

cheers

Front wheel hubs from Big Boys Toys cost £13.41 each, these are MK1 Golf ones.

yeah i already spoke to them and i need both the hub and the strut assembly part.. so does anyone know if mk2 will fit?

cheers

Mk 2 Scirocco or Mk1 Golf hubs will fit just fine on your mk1 with 17mm ball joints.

That is just the "hub" - the part the brake disc attaches to.

The other part is the 'wheel bearing housing' and costs - with bearings and hubs - £120 plus £16.50 shipping from Crazy Quiffs - golfmk1.co.uk

cheers guys

As far as im aware the hubs are the same.

But, the hub carrier is different from a mk1 to a mk2. The suspension bolt holes are in different locations.

I fitted a Mk1 golf hub assembly to my Mk2 Rocco if that's any help.

A Mk2 Golf hub carrier is different.

Mk1 Golf, Mk1 and Mk2 Scirocco carriers are the same.
