Mk1 & Mk2 Escort Aluminium Front Hub Kit – +10mm Offset (61mm) (CS128)

Aluminium front hub kit for Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts fitted with RS2000/Capri-type disc-brake struts. Based on the CS097*JK hubs, with the wheel-mounting face 10 mm further outwards than standard and a hub depth of 61 mm. Supplied for both front wheels.

Select the correct eight wheel studs from the options above. Choose whether to add bearing grease and whether Retroford should assemble the hubs for you. The optional assembly service includes grease for assembly.

Fitment

• Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts with RS2000/Capri-type disc-brake front struts.
• Also suits the specified Capri 2.8 and Group 1 Bilstein front struts.
• Applicable struts have removable steering arms secured by two 3/8-inch UNF bolts.
• Suitable for solid front discs with the CB001S*COMP M16 solid-disc brake kit or vented front discs with the CB001V*COMP M16 vented-disc brake kit.

Specification

• Aluminium front hubs: CS097*JK, one pair.
• Wheel bearings: CS030*JK, one pair.
• Stub axle fitting hardware: CS032*JK, comprising two nuts, two washers and two retaining cages.
• Alloy hub bearing caps: CS036*JK, one pair.
• Wheel studs: eight, selected from the options above.
• Hub depth: 61 mm from brake-disc mounting flange to wheel-mounting face.
• Wheel mounting face: +10 mm per side against the standard 51 mm Escort hub.
• Standard Ford bearing dimensions; standard-type 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) wheel stud mounting holes.

The 10 mm outward wheel offset can increase clearance between the tyre and coil-over spring, but reduces wheel-to-arch clearance. Check both with the wheels and tyres fitted.

Choose Your Options

• Wheel studs – required: Select the correct type of eight studs for the wheels and nuts you are using. Longer studs are required because the aluminium wheel mounting flange is thicker than the standard steel hub.
• Bearing grease – optional: Add M090 bearing grease if required.
• Retroford hub assembly – optional: Choose whether Retroford assembles the hub kit. This service includes the bearing grease used during assembly; add separate grease only if you need extra.

Check bearing fit, wheel stud and nut engagement, brake-disc and caliper clearance, and wheel-to-arch clearance before use.
