    Hi guys just wondered if mk3 td hubs would fit my mk2 8v ?

    They are 4 stud but I wondered if the splines for the driveshafts would be the same ?

    I would of thought diesel driveshafts are bigger ?

    I'm looking to fit 256mm set up on my mk2 as I like decent brakes

    But mk2 golf 16v hubs and calipers seem really hard to find

    Mk3 TDI running gear is the same as mk2 16v except for a hydraulic clutch but that obviously wont affect it. So yes, they will fit.

    bearign carriers are same as mk2 16v and g60 with 256/280mm brakes. driveshafts, wishbones and track rods are longer so ideal to convert yours to wide track if thats what you want

    i thought they were slightly differnt but still fit fine, just the only difference being is that they increase the castor angle once fitted.

    im sure i have read that on here before
