Radlager????

[SAM/CH ZR-1]

Timken macht sehr gute Radlager. Die kosten aber auch ein bischen mehr.

Hi Guido,

es gibt mehrere Möglichkeiten:

1. Originale Radlager, die allerdings relativ teuer sind. Die günstigsten OEM gibts hier: https://www.corvetterecycling.com/category_s/432.htm
Oh, seh' gerade das die nur für 91-96 sind. Werden dann wohl nicht passen.
http://www.rockautoparts.com dürfte auch halbwegs bezahlbare Originale haben.

2. Originale Radlager für die F-Bodies (Firebird/Trans-Am) des selben Baujahres. Sind nahezug identisch. Da müssen nur die 4 Gewindebohrungen (an denen die Radlager am Achsschenkel verschraubt werden) aufgebohrt werden, damit die dickeren Schrauben der C4 durchpassen. Vorteil: Wesentlich günstiger als originale C4 Radlager! Die werden oft im cf.com bei den Slalom-Fahrern verwendet, da bei denen die Radlager ja auch öfter mal gewechselt werden müssen...

3. Es gibt in den USA einen Anbieter verstärkter vorderer Radlager (auch wieder für die F-Bodies, also Firebird/Trans-Am, passen allerdings wie oben beschrieben auch an die C4), die auch überholt und nachgefettet werden können. Hier der Thread im cf.com dazu:

MJM Racing is proud to present the first rebuildable, adjustable and regreasable front hub for 4th gen F-bodies. As most of you know already, these have been a long time coming and have gone though several interations and lots of testing over the last two years. If you've ever autocrossed with 315 Hoosier's or Kumho's, you know why these were developed.

Pictures can be seen here:

Highlights:

1. New forged and hardened 4340 steel spindle made by Mark Williams Enterprises to MJM Racing, LLC specifications
2. Timken tapered roller bearings
3. Factory ABS retained
4. Original exterior dimensions retained for a "bolt on" application with no other modifications required.
5. Adjustable for bearing play, regreasable and rebuildable.
6. Comes with new ARP studs

We will begin to take orders on 1-1-09.

We need to get at least 20 pairs in the initial order to get the best pricing on machine work and parts. Please post any questions as well as stating your interest so a list can be compiled.

The initial price will be $650 each plus a core. That price will apply to this first initial offering only and these are only offered to the people of this site at this time. The core charge will be $100 per hub if you do not have any old ones you can send. Frankly, cores are necessary and if that ends up being too low of a core charge to get people to send cores, it will go up. Please be considerate and at least knock the big chunks of rust, dirt and grease off before you send them. If you have already sent cores to help with development your names are recorded and you need not send any additional cores (unless you want to).

Our lawyer has prepared a document that must be signed by each interested party prior to any transaction. A copy will be emailed to all who state they are interested in purchase.

Please post all questions here or call me, my PM folder is already a bit full.

On a side note, my suppliers have raised their prices and so I have had to raise my price as well. The hubs now cost $889 each plus $100 each for cores if you don't send any and $50 for shipping.
