Cortina vs Escort Hubs

Hi,

Does anyone know what the differences are between Escort and Cortina hubs? Are they interchangable?

They're not interchangable as such, no. They can be used but need a mushroom adapter to fit in the machperson strut mounting point.
I don't know about the geometry of the hubs but would be suprised if it was the same. It's worth doing a search on this as I'm relatively sure it's been covered before

I mean the actual hubs and not the whole upright assembly. i.e. Cortina vs MKII Escort

Already done, thought the forum might resize it automatically but it didn't





If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

Thanks, i'm looking at MK4/5 cortina uprights so that answers my question perfectly. (even though it's not the answer I wanted!)
