K65S is what i have, but i bought mine in 2004 and at trade. So probably a reasonable saving there.

Given taht you are in Queensland give Fulcrum Suspension a try, they tend to be pretty reasonably priced. Their head office is in Capalaba.

[sillycar chick]

Fulcrum are actually more expensive Might be trying some US companies....

Pretty sure head office is in Mooroka!

The Capalaba store is actually quite new (to my knowledge)

There is a mob in the states that I found that are 33ea AUD for tender spring (how much they should cost if you ask me!)...So we might need a bit of a group buy!

Curious with the tender/keeper springs, do these need the locators and are they included in the prices above?
This is what got me interested -

There was also another auction where adding keeper springs was listed as $100 for the set (4).

Really? I always thought that the Capalaba store was the head office. Either way it should be the same pricing across the board.

i'm in this if it happens.

i can volunteer a credit card for purchasing but need extra enthusiasm in the form of beer and other risk-reduction strategies.

[sillycar chick]

Yeah im definately in too if we can make it happen.

[sillycar chick]

Can anyone confirm if the TA22 and XT130 use the same front wheel bearings? Just need a yes or no answer cheers

[takai]

No they dont.
XT130 uses larger wheel bearings, hence you need the Corona hubs. If you dont have the XT130 hubs, then get RT142 hubs as they offer slightly more offset.

[WDE_BDY]

I'm saying no based on the 130 struts fit MS65 5 stud hubs but the TA22 struts don't.

Callum

[sillycar chick]

Thanks guys Have my XT130 hubs now, just have an emergency with my Ta22 wheel bearings, looks like i'll just go buy some (I have 2 sets of XT130 ones at home hence why i asked, no point buying a set if the ones i had at home were the same)

[takai]

Shoudl be pretty cheap for TA22 bearings, like $25 a wheel.

How about $24.78 trade, for the full set and seals, just bought a set at Autopro today!, and yeah part numbers are different, between TA22, and XT/RT Corona's.

Sounds pretty much exactly what i paid for my last set of TA22 bearings.

Oh, and to add to that, the counter jumper, mumbled something about the part numbers crossing over to a GMH part number. Remember Jason changing a wheel bearing on his rocket 'Rolla, on the side of the road between Dubbo, and Wellington. The same Holden thing was mentioned at that time. So they have to cheap, if they are available for the GMH cars.


Dana, an easy way to get the new bearing in straight, is to use the old outer shell. Just run a cutting disc through the shell, that way it will pop out, when you have finished pressing the bearing in.


cheers Chuck.
