Petergg Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Hi, I am replacing a damaged swivel Part No FTC5105, the problem is that the one I have taken off has a ridge for the bearing outer to locate against top and bottom bearings, but the replacement only has ridge on the bottom bearing. This seems to be a change in production! But what stops the top outer bearing moving down and bearing becoming slack when assembled?

Mark90 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Sounds like it's for an earlier 90/110 with a railko bush in the top and bearing in the bottom, think it was around the intriduction of the 300tdi that 90/110 got top and bottom bearing like RRC, maybe coincided with introduction of 24 spline diffs, not sure.

Thanks Mark. That was my first thoughts, but it seems that every supplier has the same part No for the TD5 90 with ABS/TC I will fit it and see, the bearing outer is a tight fit so should not move and has no pressure on it. It could well self adjust if to tight as the outer would be pushed down if shims are not thick enough? Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 If it can move I doubt it would hold sufficient tension and you'd end up with a loose swivel preload. Are you sure it's a FTC5105, I've have pattern parts before that have been incorrectly boxes/labeled, mainly Bearmach parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 For a 17M axle you need swivel TIR100000 from EPC Microcat shows TIR100000 for the same axle serial prefix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
