Hello,
I am rebuilding the front struts on my Astravan. so thought I’d swap the front wheel bearings whilst in there.
i believe there are small and large struts, and as I have the low blow GM diesel, I should have the small ones.
was going to have a measure, but just wondered what the different sizes were to check before ordering.
I had a look on eBay, because getting stuff is hard and that seems to be as easy as anywhere...
but one ad said 74x39x39 is the size for x17dt
Another said 72x39x37
Are these the right sizes?
And is the difference just 2mm between the small and big bearings? (If so I’m not really going to be able to do a quick check to confirm without stripping it out I guess)
the van is was built in 1996, and is a x17dt base spec van without power steering
thanks
John
