on my mates car with a c25xe, passenger side hub keeps dying. lasts about a month and then we have to replace the hub and the bearing. getting kinda bored of it now. are the any other options out there or am i doing something wrong. i know the weight of a v6 wont be helping the matter

Theres a way you can machine out the hub carrier and use a G60 golf bearing. this will take a standard astra big block hub iirc

Check out Vauxsport they're using Audi bearings now, also Chip says about in the TV.

I've been using Corsa driveshafts for years touch wood.

thought about sticking a gsi shaft in instead but i dont think it would take the v6. can you not just open the hub up to take the proper cav bearing or whatever. the one its killed this time came from lmf
