Mk1 & Mk2 Escort Aluminium Front Hub Kit – Standard Offset (51mm) (CS127)

Complete aluminium front hub kit for Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts fitted with RS2000/Capri-type disc-brake front struts. Based on the Retroford CS096*JK standard-offset aluminium hubs, with standard Ford wheel bearing dimensions and a 51 mm hub depth. The standard-offset hubs are for solid front brake discs only.

Choose the wheel studs you require from the options above before ordering. You can also add bearing grease or choose the optional Retroford hub assembly service. The assembly service includes the bearing grease used during assembly.

Fitment

• Mk1 Escort with RS2000/Capri-type disc-brake front struts.
• Mk2 Escort with RS2000/Capri-type disc-brake front struts.
• Also suitable for Capri 2.8 front struts and Group 1 Bilstein front struts.
• The relevant Escort struts have removable steering arms secured by two 3/8-inch UNF bolts.
• Solid front brake discs, including the Retroford CB001S*COMP solid-disc front brake kit. For vented-disc applications use the CS097*JK +10 mm offset hubs instead.

Specification

• Aluminium hubs: CS096*JK standard-offset aluminium hubs, one pair, standard 51 mm wheel-mounting offset.
• Front wheel bearings: CS030*JK front wheel bearings, one pair.
• Stub axle hardware: CS032*JK stub axle hardware, comprising two nuts, two washers and two retaining cages.
• Alloy hub bearing caps: CS036*JK bearing caps, one pair.
• Wheel studs: eight, selected from the available stud options.
• Hub depth: 51 mm measured from the brake-disc mounting flange to the wheel-mounting face.
• Wheel stud mounting holes: 1/2 inch (12.7 mm), for compatible standard-type studs.

Choose Your Options

• Wheel studs – required: Choose the appropriate set of eight studs from the selections above. Longer studs are needed because the aluminium hub flange is thicker than the original steel hub.
• Bearing grease – optional: Choose whether to add M090 high-temperature bearing grease to the order.
• Hub assembly – optional: Choose whether Retroford assembles the hub kit for you. This option includes bearing grease; only select the separate grease option if you also require additional grease.

Check wheel stud and nut compatibility, correct bearing fit, brake clearance and wheel clearance during installation.
