Re: Hacked off help on dampers very urgent!

Hottuning is an internt company, they get their parts from and external supplier. Its the external supplier saying that they are the right ones, and would only send out the same again!.
Please note to all who read that Louise at hottuning has been very helpful and its not their fault.

Sorry to repost, took off front hubs and bearings fell apart. Can you reasemble on new spline, or do you need to order new wheel bearing. Read some where that bearings come with new hub! Thats wont be cheap.
