   I know there two different struts
   
   eg tapered and flat
   
   and the hubs themselves are different.
   
   but are the wheel bearings for flat different to tapered wheel bearings?
   cheers

   yes they are different, as are the hubs. the inner diameter of the bearing and the outer diameter of the hub where it presses into the bearing are different

   I stand corrected thought you could put whatever bearing you liked in the hub lol
