Front uprights '86 350i

[shelby2015]

Hi all.

I'm confused. Which front uprights were being used on the 350i from 1986. Granada or Taunus ? Is there a difference ? Which is... ?

I thought Granada uprights and hub were used, and the difference is, at the very least, 5 bolt wheels vs 4 bolt wheels. I'd assume bearings are different.

So, wishbones are Cortina/Taunus, but uprights and hubs (and brakes) are Granada.

Am willing to be corrected, though. Don't have access to parts manuals to verify Ford part numbers.
