Dickie Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 the castle nut on my S3 SWB front hub bearing is domed and has no "flats" so according to the manual it must be a 109. I bought a standard SWB bearing kit, which doesn't fit! the inner bearing track is too wide, the outer one is too small! the ones I am trying to replace are the same diameter. what type of hub have I got, 109 or 88???

The earlier Series ran with the differing sized hub bearings, then were changed to identical inner and outer bearings - 'RTC 3429' x 2 same as most late LR's.

Only the LWB stage 1 V8's.Is it likely that they were available only for the domestic market? Any chance that these models were also fitted the Stage 1 CV joints ? Bill.

Les Henson Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Bill - In my parts book there are equal size bearings (RTC3429) for both the 109 (and V8), and 88-in From Oct 1983. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les- July 1980 in my parts book. October 1983 was when the change was from metal hub caps to plastic caps along with a change in the drive flanges to suit the plastic caps.
