Hi

Can anyone post up pics of Sierra front hubs adapted to fit top and bottom swivel joints?

Is this typical of how it is done?


Much appreciated.

Most have the bottom hole tapered to suit the ball joint and a mushroom adaptor fitted to the top.

Here's mine







Can get more (close up) photos if that would help in any way?

The upright has the tapered hole in the bottom then an adaptor (shown in the pic above) has a tapered hole for the top joint.
We can supply the adaptors.

OP, your picture isn't Sierra.Looks like Cortina.

The standard mushroom inserts pictured above are common but do result in strange king-pin inclination as the hubs are designed for McFerson struts. Fury ones are offset, I believe to (partialy) correct that, and use a Metro ball joint screwed into it in the same way as in your picture above. You can just see mine on this picture...
