I know that conversion of the 4000Q to 5-bolt hubs has been done before, but
we're having a difficult time getting the proper combination of parts to
work on the front of my car. The rear was simple - swap the 4-bolt 4000q
hubs for 5-bolt 5000tq hubs.
In the front, we're trying to use 90Q uprights, 4000Q rear axles (on
opposite sides) and 5000tq hubs. But, neither the 90Q 10v wheel bearing
housing (lower piece of the 2-piece strut assembly) or the 90Q 20v wheel
bearing housing will work. With the 10v part, the 5000tq hub binds against
the housing with the wheel bearing installed. I believe the 10v housing I
have is from a late '89-'90 90Q, since it has the receptable for the ABS
sensor. Is the '88-early'89 housing the proper piece to use with the 5000tq
hubs? Is there a difference between the 90Q and 90fwd housings? Will the
5000tq hubs work at all with a 90Q wheel bearing housing?
Any assistance appreciated, as the car is stuck on a lift with only two
wheels.
Thanks,
