My silver RS2 Project

[rxl]

these washers are expensive(audi tradition)and came only on rs2. i used febi 22462 bolts as they come with a bit smaller washer. the bolts that i got together cv joints didnt fit with oem rs2 washers.

So can i use the new skf bolt and the bush? The Skf bolt looks identical to the old bolts.

[Tractor Dave]

And how do i tell the difference between the front and rear hubs? Two have one larger hole in the rim.

Edit
Found a pic. The ones with bigger hole are rear.

[Tractor Dave]

Wow! You were right. I'm glad i have four good ones.

I think this is the selection I bought. I found I had two left that fitted well

If you want to try and order individually here are the measurements.






I decided to keep them oe (black)



The joints are nice and clean inside.


Fresh grease worked into the joints.


New boot fitted with copper wire to hold it tight.


Next job is the hubs.

Then I fired up the heater and they got some zinc.


Talking of zinc, the plating is going slowly but getting there. I think I either need to increase amps or reduce the amount of things I'm plating at one time.


Here are some that Alex (Error) made a much better job of that will be going on the car.


I wish Alex had some more stock available in his shop. I could spend a fortune!

Just looking at the wheel nuts are they original RS2 light alloy ones or after market type? I had a nightmare with one of mine sheering off at the base, as you can imagine it was massive grief trying to get the base off had to drill it out damaging the wheel. after that I went for the titanium ones much stronger and still very light

[Tractor Dave]

They are original alloy ones. Not great condition. I need to have a good look to see if I'm going to use them or get new.

[Rikki Kitto]

I would seriously check out the titanium ones Porsche use them now in place of the alloy ones I think, the original RS2 ones are about £12 each too

[Tractor Dave]

Here they are. I will see how they clean up.

They don't look great, you probably have checked this topic, but just in case !............. RS2 Wheel Nuts - S2Forum - The Audi S2 Community

So I popped then in the ultrasonic cleaner.


Came out nice and clean.


They are not as bad as they initially appeared. I will do some testing with a socket to see how well they fit. All the wheel contact points are corrosion free.

The wheel hubs got a coat of satin black and look good.


Going to make a start on the rear hubs and brakes. Anyone btdt tell me the assembly order please?
