Hi D I'm glad to hear the diary is useful. There have been times I've wondered if anyone reading it thinks "why is he writing this stuff, it's obvious". Certainly very little has been obvious to me! So on the same note, there are no dof questions. The bearings we've been talking about are for the front only. Specifically for the Sierra or Sapphire front uprights. For the rear it depends on how you are building. I started describing it all in this comment, then realised it was worthy of a page. So read this page, and see if that answers the rest of your questions. Cheers B

Thanks for the response. Your build diary is definitely one of the more informative around, thanks for making the effort to do it!

So, dof question, if I need one kit per wheel, and you say I need one 142 and one 168 kit, that sounds like the only the front, or rear, are catered for?

Cheers

Hi, thanks for the comment.
You need one kit per wheel. But left and right are different (left is 142, right is 168, I believe). So if you were servicing a normal car, you would need one 142 and one 168 kit.

Hope that helps.

Regarding the bearings, how many kits are required?
