    New Bilstein strut problem

    Bought a pair of group 4 struts from Peter Lloyd and I am having problems with the wheel bearings fitting. I have a new set of RS2000 wheel bearings and they to not fit the stub (very tight). Inner stub measures 28.60 mm and so does the bearing id. Outer stub is 19.00 mm and bearing is 19.02 mm. Are these new legs made with a slightly larger stub or are there different tolerances from different bearing manufacturers? Always bloody something!

    Bearings should all be the same, it's more than likely the stubs just need a clean up
