S3 Hubs

[Cheeks]

Hi all,

I’ve just bought some hubs off a breaker to go on my A3. I’m able to rattle the hubs on the knuckle... is this normal? They’re not on the car and don’t have driveshafts in them.

Just wondering whether I’ll need to get some bearings

TIA,

Dan

once the driveshafts are in they should tighten up, but since its second hand and yout dont know the history of the hubs just do the wheel bearings, since theyre quite cheap to be honest.

If i were you however i would just swap over the rotors, dust covers and caliper carriers and use your existing hub and calipers since they're exactly the same.

Reason for swapping is that my car is an A3 so I’ve bought a full S3 front end setup (quickrack, hubs, arms, subframe)

I think I’ll change the bearings for piece of mind!

Use all the S3 stuff... A3 stuff (lower ball joint etc) is different

If you look under bearings there’s rear ones, but can’t see front...
Try looking for an A3 front hub?

Oh I was wrong, I was thinking of the wheel bearing housing not the hub :O

ecp have a3 hubs btw if they are the same as s3.
