    Just wondering if there are different sized wheel bearings or even if the hubs are ? Just I fitted a new wheel bbearing onto the gfs strut but had to fit a new hub plate aswwell as other was worn ... Now when all bolted up there is massive play in the bearing itself , it wasn't damaged atall and just seems as if its not being fully clamped enough even though the hub night it tight anyone shed some light ?

    Maybe & i`m guessing here,is that because their are 2 different types of driveshaft ie tapered & non tapered so maybe 2 types of hub.Correct me if i`m wrong peeps.

    yes, outside diameter is the same but the internal diameter,where the hub presses in, is different between flat and tapered hubs
