I'm looking to eliminate the weak stub axle on these Porsche 924 uprights as they are pretty prone to fracturing when driven hard, especially when supporting the weight of larger brakes etc. The stubs also take quite small wheel bearings, the same as the rear of a mk1/2/3 golf, which i think is maybe a little weak for the front of a 300+hp rwd application. I'm thinking of modifying them so I can simply bolt up a more modern wheel bearing/hub assembly such as this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Fie...emsV2WithMLRv3&_trksid=p2047675.c101196.m2219 Just wanted to maybe hear some peoples thoughts on this, theres possibly some more experienced heads on here that can advise Thanks
Seems a radical change Daz, is there no other front unit you can use that's similar in layout, but with a bigger stub? Golf or TT, or 944 etc.
When I had my old minor I considered putting lotus 7 style front suspension on it, do away with the kingpin and spindle set up that is an Achilles heel, plenty of kits for wishbone available, plus sierra flanges to match your pcd.
