I didn't see one when I pulled the hub off.
Full Version: Hey 5 Lug Guys
It's pressed onto the spindle. The Cap'n
The fact that there's a wheel spacer in the picture suggests to me that that's a 930 front end.
Otherwise, I've never seen the part you highlighted.

Nothing like that pressed onto my spindles.
Joe, you're saying that only the turbo fronts have this?
Mine's not....

That's my best response. I've never seen that part.
My 914-6 struts also have that 'spacer'. The seal rides on it.
Yeah, my 914/6 struts have it as well. Never noticed it before. It's pressed on. Thought it was part of the strut.
Yes is pressed on, and the seal rides on it..
first there is an o-ring, then this spacer, then the seal/bearing
It looks like part of the spindle..

Fark.........
That spacer is what the inner grease seal rides on. It is available seperately.
The ring is actually shrunk onto the shaft.
When you get the ring, you place it on a cookie sheet and warm it up in your oven to 350 or so. You then proceed to take the HOT ring and slide it ALL THE WAY onto the spindle (ambient temp or less). Within a moment, you will not be able to move the ring. Make sure you slide it on all the way and make sure you wear protective gloves while doing it as the ring is 350 degrees.
Go ahead, ask me how I know......

That piece should be on the 930 susp too. I test fitted 930 hubs on 911 SC struts and they fit nicely (with that piece installed). Must admit it's difficult to see that spacer is not an integral part of the spindle.
By the way, is it normal that the inner bearing (the one that fits against the spacer) slides on easily? I mean, I had to make sure to slide the bearing on straight but with a bit of grease it went on like a breeze ...
My only experience is with rear bearings and you got to put those in a freezer to shrink before they slide in.
Thanks

Okay, I went and looked again and it's there. Just looks like it's part of the spindle.
The parts diagram also shows an o-ring. Does it go around the spacer or into the groove at the outer edge of it?
