Anyone know much about Granada rear hubs?

[Darrin]

I need bearings for these but I'm not sure what year Granada to order for. In fact, I am having a very hard time finding anything for a Granada after about 1982. Not sure if the various years were the same or not.

Anyway, anyone care to guess what these are? I got them off of eBay months ago from a seller in England and they are no longer on the site to get the seller's contact information from to see if they knew.

All I know is that they supposedly came off a Granada. From what I can tell, they look the part.

Thanks!

Rear hubs should be from a Mk3 Ford (European) Granada, 1984-1994
Ford Granada (Europe) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the US you might want to look for some Merkur Scorpio bearings.

Those are 5 stud which should mean they are correct (they look the same as mine) but tbh the best way to get replacement bearings is to look at what's already fitted.

This is a usefull site, to work out what year your brake parts came from

Ford Granada/Scorpio Brake Parts

 

[Darrin]

Thanks everyone!

From the eBay link I saw the Ford part number that gave me this link: Car Part FORD 5007114 Wheel Bearing Kit

Shows all alternate part numbers..Bendix, Delphi, etc. Sure between them all, I'll be able to hunt this down now!

BTW, the one on eBay is just that...one side. Need two of course.

 

[Darrin]

Hmmm....

Looks like the link is showing this part only working with Granada cars built from 1977 to 1985. That would be a Mk2 not a Mk3 I believe.

Not so sure that part number is correct then if these are Mk3 hubs.

I think this might be what you're looking for: Wheel Bearing - Rear | 1988 Merkur Scorpio-Import 6 Cylinders V 2.9L FI | AutoZone.com

If you look at the "view job diagram" link on the same page it looks like your hub.

 

[Dave P]

Bill Is correct. Make sure they do not give you xr4ti parts they have to be Scorpio only marketed here a couple years. Set number 16 if I remember right.

 

[Darrin]

The part that shows up in Autozone is Timken SET24: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/pa...terByKeyWord=wheel+bearings&fromString=search

When you look up Timken SET24 though, everywhere else it shows up as the FRONT wheel bearing. For instance: Bearing - Auto Parts Warehouse

Not sure what site to believe! LOL

Hi Darrin:

So Much for my memory. 24 looks correct. ID of bearing is very close to 41mm and they are two separate cone bearings.

 

[Mick Ridley]

Darrin,

Im sure you have MK 3 bearing carriers, because I have MK 2 ones, The MK 2 only had drum brakes on the back, and my bearing carriers do not have the lugs to fix the brake calipers onto, So as yours have lugs for the calipers, you must have MK 3's....

Mick

 

[Darrin]

Thanks folks!

I think I'll see if I can push the old ones out gracefully tonight and either measure them or hopefully see the OEM part numbers on them.

As Mick and David say, I am pretty sure these are for the Granada Mk3, but as some sites say 24 is front and others that 24 is rear I'm not sure which site is correct.

I do need fronts as well but I got the aftermarket Mk2 style aluminum fronts sold by the kit builder and I don't know if the Mk2 fronts are the same as far as bearings go as the Mk3 is. I asked the builder several days ago but haven't heard back yet as to what the front should use.

 

[Mick Ridley]

Darinn,

Ive just measured my bearings the best I can, because they are still in the carriers.

The ID is 37 mm. The OD is 74 mm, but it is difficult to measure them accuratly

 

[Darrin]

THANKS Mick! It's very much appreciated!

I'll cross reference that to the specs for the Timken SET24 and see if that matches up. I am pretty sure I saw it online in one or two of the sites.

 

[William Grow]

I bet it's safe to use the Mark 2 bearings with those hubs. On the kit builder's site he says his uprights are a "direct replacement" for Granada 2 front uprights, and those aluminum hubs look exactly like the Granada 2 hubs I have (although I'm sure they're much much lighter).

The bearings I'm using in my Granada 2 Hubs/spindles are Bilstein part number 05394. But then again, it's looking like I may not be using those spindles...

Good times

 

[Darrin]

Thanks Bill. Did you order the Bilstein 05394 from the UK? I cannot seem to locate it here in the US.

 

[William Grow]

A Hungarian buddy of mine picked them up for me locally, sorry... I'll see if I can find a cross reference for ya.

 

[William Grow]

These are the specs for the Bilsteins:

Width [mm]: 14,75
Width [mm]: 14,5
Inner Diameter [mm]: 29
Inner Diameter [mm]: 17,5
Outer Diameter [mm]: 50,3
Outer Diameter [mm]: 39,9
Fitting Position: Front Axle left and right
Fitting Position: Rear Axle left and right
Weight [kg]: 0,215
Required quantity: 2

I think a suitable sub might be SET24 with A-31 listed as an alternative (off of a 1982 Ford escort 1.6l at autozone) but I'm having trouble finding a similar table of dimensions to be sure.

Worst case scenario: I could buy some locally and send them to you. (probably cost like $5 in shipping for something that small)

Ninja edit: according to page 383 of http://www.timken.com/es-es/products/Documents/Bearing_Specification_Guide.pdf

looking at part numbers: jl68145 and jl68111-z (they make up SET24) it doesn't look like they'll work. sorry...

 

[Darrin]

AWESOME! Thanks so much!

 

[Darrin]

Bill, I think I will take you up on that if you still want to do it. I just cannot find any bearings here in the US for the MK3 rear hubs. I can get a set of front ones from my builder (assuming he has them in stock) but as for the rears, if you can price them for me I'll forward you the funds along with shipping!
