We have the rear alloy hubs on our car the bearings fit a lot better less play same for the front yokes the alloy ones fit snug less play.

There is a meeting this Sunday, last round of the winter series, and as we have a National event there later this year I think there will be loads of great drivers there, either come race or just pop along to have a look:thumbsup:

I would love to, really.. But I don't think I can get it past the missus this weekend.

Soon, soon!

I fitted the hubs yesterday, and a new matching pair of alloys on the front, the handling feels even better than before now.

How durable are the plastic hubs? Waiting to recieve my Cougar and noticed the rear hubs looked a little thin. Wondering how they will hold up.

ive run plastics ever since i have had the car and havent had a breakage in that area in all types of weather. i have been running the alloy rear hubs the last few weeks but only as a tuning option.

I'd been running the kits plastic ones since day dot.. i had heard some people broke the inside hole but i had always run the middle and never a issue.

only just swapped on the alloy purely for the bling and added bonus to remove the 1º toe from the arms.

I Break them all the time, weak parts to me. Just like the b4 ones. I was running the oustide hole and broke it almost everytime I went to the track, event he middle hole I get. SO I am gettn the alum Hubs. I dont think I will ever break antyhing on the rear.

Potential wear issue, however I spoke to Schumacher this morning and will be applying axle grease in them to help.

They are very nice and I prefer them to wishbone toe in.

How do you wear out a aluminium hub that only houses ball bearings?

I took apart the hubs to see what you're all talking about and saw a little anodizing had worn off. I re-installed them with a small amount of thread lock around to lock them in place, I think it should work.
