GTi6. beam bearings and stub axle measurements

[Ben_w]

Anyone got the SNR part numbers for the beam bearings, both inner and outer??

Be buggered if I'm paying extra for the SNR bearings to come in a Peugeot package....rebuilding a beam and have got it stripped down. Bearings are OK but getting pulled and replaced anyway. Stub axles look pretty good but want to measure to be sure so need the measurements of a good shaft please (and no, 9" isn't the answer...   )

The stub axle is the piece that the rear wheel bearing sits on? The trailing arm shaft is the piece that goes into the beam tube, I suspect its this measurement you want, not a stub axle?

[Ben_w]

Yeah, that's the one.....

Need to know the measurements of one at New so I can compare the ones I've got to see if they need replacing or not.

47.0mm and 42.0mm, although if they're knackered you'll be able to see it, no need to measure.

Thanks Allen, just what I needed. The shafts look pretty good. I want to be sure though.

Pics of the shafts...







Shafts are measuring at:

Outer bearing end:
47.03mm
47.01mm

Inner bearing end:
42.02
42.05

So the shafts appear to be well within spec?

[welshpug]

look at the wear pattern, a bearing wont last too long on those.

[Ben_w]

Hmmmm, I'll replace them then

[allanallen]

What made you think they looked ok?

ive binned better looking ones without a thought, new bearings new shafts always always both together imo.

[Ben_w]

What made you think they looked ok?

They were covered in grease and general shizzle.....looked ok until I wiped them down!!!

Stef, yes, I think that's the way I'm going.

I dare not look at mine

f*cking beams! Is/was yours creaking like an old tilers knees? Mine is driving me potty!

[Ben_w]

Not that I know of. Bought as a spare to refurb while the one on my Rallye is still there so I can move it about.

Didn't make any noises or have any camber. Not bothered anyway. Got this and a ser of Rallye seats for £90!
