is this bad?

after finally getting one, i am of the opinion that everyone should own a digital caliper. they are cheap (less than 20 bucks on ebay) and they come in SO HANDY for stuff like this. i use mine all the time!

well im kind of guessing this but i think the s/r and the hp's are not the same rod size as they only made the s/r for the zx2 and the hp's are only listed for the 91-96 escort 91-94 pro and mx3 so i might just buy the stock bearings for the protege

[therieldeal]

like i said they should be the same as normal BG size bearings. all 97+ escorts use the larger front shaft diameter BTW, not just the zx2 s/r

[smoke187]

on that rockauto is that for each bearing or is it for the set ?

[therieldeal]

each one i believe

i almost forgot that i got the Strut Perch Conversion Kit from zxtuner so i guess i never needed to buy that

[therieldeal]

thats your problem then, if you got that kit and have 2nd gen escort style struts, you have the wrong strut bearings AND the wrong perches. do you have your old perches?

thats one this i dont have threw them away after i installed the new stuff back in 05 on my egt never had a problem with it until 2 weeks ago so i dont think that is my only problem swaped them to my protege about 4 months ago

i ordered the coil spring seat from rockauto and it don't fit the bearing i have that fits my strut rods not sure what the problem is with them hard to find parts

ok dose anyone know if i got the gc coilovers if i would have any problem with a bearing or not

[smoke187]

rockauto just called me back and told me that they had a catalog error and that the part number was incorrect and they are refunding my money and paying for return shipping
