I have early 3.5" boge non hub centric front struts. Can I just replace the hub with a later hub centric hub or do I have to replace the whole strut?

I can’t guarantee the caliper/rotor spacing but both hubs are interchangeable on the strut and use the same bearings.

The height difference affect the distance to the wheel surface not the rotor mounting surface. I was looking at a pair of non hub centric 911 hubs and it loks like an adapter ring could be make to convert them to hub centric. @steve |
