spudley1988 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Hey folks just wandered what hubs are all compatible with an MB3. Do ek ones or MG ones fit or what not? Ball joint snapped at 60 tonight and cars ended up in local recovery storage so need it out as soon as to keep costs down. Any info be appreciated.

KiNK43 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 When you say hub, do you mean the complete knuckle? If so I believe. Mg or ek are fine as long as brake diameter is the same. Otherwise caliper mounts will be different.can you not replace just the ball joint or is there damage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudley1988 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Well what a flipping hassle this have been. Police refused me to phone my insurance recovery when the incident happened (standard for this area as they hate modified/young drivers, cars) and he took great pride in knowing i was going to have to pay stupid money to get my car back. Also at the scene i was raging as all he was interested in was my exhaust when if a car was coming the other way this could have been a fatal crash.So yesterday i rang the compound and they wanted 460 quid to release car and trying to charge me damage to the road etc even though there was no damage. After getting a friend involved who knows the laws a lot and works through the council we got the car released for £170 and disputing the other £180 as the price keeps dropping and the total is now £350. Now the car has a couple of grubby standard wheels on just now and still need a wing and track rod ends. Will hopefully get things sorted soon.

NIKH25 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Disgusting mate, these people should be ashamed of themselves, at least d**k Turpin had the decency to wear a mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudley1988 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Apparently these guys are well known for this after speaking to a few people. Main thing is car is back and driving at the mo. Got balljoints, trackrod ends, discs, pads etc all to fire on then track her up. Also bought a wing as well so fingers crossed car will be back to normal after a few weeks and a fair whack of cash lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 It is disgusting. A friend of mines car was stolen and the police charged for recovery and impound. By the time he was made aware of the cars location. The bill was over a grand. he told then to stuff it and they crushed the car.gutted for you again but glad its all coming back together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudley1988 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hearing of this kinda stuff all over Britain just now and its disgusting as most people in the country are struggling. I'm currently unemployed and this is killing me but I just keep remembering how smug the traffic officer was that my car was going off the road and thats spurring me on to get the car back to how she was pronto.
