Rear Springs & Wheel Bearings

Postby bclg » Thu Aug 10, 2017 8:28 pm

Does anyone know if the Rear Springs from a 2004 85T260 SWB Transit are the same as those on a 2007 130T260 SWB Transit.

Same question will any of the Wheel Bearings from the 2004 unit suit the rear of the 2007 130T260.

Thank you.

A spring has cracked on the 2007 unit and I can probably get a 2004 spring from a scrapped van if it will do.

Similar story with the wheel bearing.

The Spring's are a perfect match and I have now transferred one from the 2004 to the 2007 unit.

IT seems the Wheel Bearing is also a match but I decided to fit a new unit there as the 2004 came apart when removing it.

The Van passed the DOE today without any problem.
