Sierra Front Hubs
Hi all. Can anyone help with their vast experience?
If using front sierra hub uprights is it better to use:
- Top mushroom adaptor
- Weld ball joint plate to top of strut top and fit a joint to it
Also what bottom ball joint is suitable for lower wishbone fitting that fits in sierra strut?
Thanks J

I think the general consensus is that the sierra upright is not totaly suitable for welding to, so mushroom insert is an easier option

I can't see a problem witha mushroom insert. Why make life harder for yourself trying to weld steel to cast iron?

This point has been covered a good few times -- offset mushroom don't give way of adjusting caster. That is determined by the position of the
ball joints -- ie wishbones.
They do however allow the king oin inclination to be adjusted independant of camber adjustment.
