Scorpio Hubs
welshy - 14/9/09 at 12:35 PM

I have tried using the search feature but couldn't find a definitive answer.

I went to my local scrap yard searching for drive shafts, calipers, hubs and discs from a sierra with a rear disc setup but they didn't have one in. They did however have a Scorpio in. The calipers looked the same as did the hubs, the discs had 4 studs as per the sierra.
So are they the same?
Also what is the minimum wheel size that can fit on a sierra/scorpio rear disc set up (i am hoping 13".

Cheers

same hubs, disks etc

you can fit 13 inch wheels but not if the wheels have any flanges on the back of the spokes

The rear hubs are the same as the sierra, the fronts are not. Depending on what model of Scorpio the driveshafts came off of they may be the same.
I am using the calipers, diff, driveshafts etc from a 2.9 24V V6. The driveshafts are thicker and longer than a Sierra, and the calipers are for a 273 mm disk. Most other model of Scorpio use a 260 or a 253 disk on the rear.

I think you will find the drive shafts are the same length as sierra (I used a Scorpio rear end in my Luego kit, designed for Sierra/Granda, with no issues at all), however some later models did have a better/stronger flange design. These have 10mm flange bolts instead of 8mm and they also have a rubber gasket for each face of the joint face. You cannot mix the two types of joint/shaft and the CV boots are different from the normal early one ( had had to use universal fit ones and trim them to size).

The four stud PCD is the same as Sierra.

The driveshafts are different lenghts depending on what model Scorpio they come off of.
Could be 535 mm or 540 mm (right hand side) the Granada is different again 520 mm, 606 mm 0r 620 mm, as is the Sierra 606 mm, 625 mm, 825 mm, 835 mm depending on whether it had disks, drums, ABS etc.

Scorpio Diff ratios are 3.36, 3.64, 4.09 and 4.27 depending on model.
