Are MKV Cortina front wheel bearings all the same?
I've just ordered a pair of wheel bearing kits and the supplier has asked the registration and cc of the model of Cortina. Apart from being a
MKV I have no idea whether they came off a 1600 or 2 litre. I was under the impression that they were all the same.
I'd be grateful if anyone could either confirm this or say what the differences are and how I can identify what I have.
With many thanks,
John

Rear bearings depend on axle type , in the UK one axle was 1300 and some 1600 the other was most 1600 and all 2.0 and 2.3.
Generally the small one comes with 8" brakes BUT Ford mixed and matched parts.
