Doing a 4g swap in 92 colt with awd tranny and galant vr4 axles, will this work? do I need to swap to galant vr4 hubs?

If you use the VR4 axles in the colt hubs the bearing seal will get damaged. There is a seal that you can put in to remedy this but I am unsure of the part number.


If it was me I would use Expo hubs instead. Axles, rotors, and calipers from the VR4 all mount to theses hubs with no modifications, and the bumpsteer is way less with these hubs than with the VR4 hubs. A bit of grinding on the strut mounting area of the hub and slotting the bolt holes in the struts and you can correct the positive camber that these hubs (and the VR4 hubs for that matter) will cause.



On second thought, I can't remember if the PASS side VR4 axle is too long or not. There is a super long axle thread here that I haven't checked back to in a while.
