    Cheers House. We have a 22mm arb here that i have hoarded for many years. Bearings wise for now standard just to get it rolling. May look into upgrading in the future. My only question would be why do the bearings need doing??? A bigger bearing will do the same job at the end of the day and its not like its a full time rally car built to the old grp a bible doing silly stages and getting beaten to death. Its just a car for smooth tarmac......

    No drama on the ARB mate it's sat outside looking sad at the minute!!

    The issue isn't the bearing itself, the issue is the machined hubs, the sustained stresses put through them when cornering hard are too big, a road car would be ok but a track car really needs uprated bearings allowing for the use of non-machined hubs, mine hub snapped on track at Mallory, rather lucky not to end up upside down!!!

    We run standard hubs and uprated shafts with cav outer cv's so we dont suffer machining issues

    Just managed to get back onto photobucket, so here is a quick pic of the wheels i dragged back out. Never been fitted since purchase just left in the boxes . Personally and as stated back in the thread i am not so keen on them compared to the th's but they serve a purpose.
