   yes but the wheel bearings could be different... the later ones generally had tapered shafts.
   i take it also you mean mk1 saxo as opposed to mk1 106? the mk1 and 2 saxos are inherantly the same but mk1 and 2 106s are different in the drop link mounts......

   well you might not have to do anything if the wheel bearings are the same, but presumably if not then youd need the correct later type bearings pressed in, thats presuming you have the tapered shafts, after all they are french!

   ye, i think the mk 1 has flat shafts and the mk 2 tapered. can warrant spending another 60 quid on new bearings on top of the struts and hubs. will have to look for a mk 2 vtr all over again lol thanks for your help pal
