Is there a resource that lists the installed height of a wheel hub bearing?
I have a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze with the base 5x105mm hub bearing and small brakes. I would like to KEEP the small brakes but install the 5x115mm hub bearings from the Cruze Diesel to be able to use a different wheel combination. I know the 115mm hubs bolt to the base spindle and beam axle I just want to make certain that the rotor sits in the correct position once they are drilled. I may just have to spend the money and measure them.
Digging thru a few of the available offerings from RockAuto, the front and rear hubs have the same offsets front and rear from the 2012 gas version to the 2019 diesel version you mentioned.
You may want to compare the specs in more detail between each of the years/drivetrains to make sure there are no other issues like spline count, pilot bore diameters etc.
Here are the links to the parts I found equal sets of data for each year.
Fronts: 42mm offset (ASSuming mounting flange to wheel flange)
Moog Front 2012
Centric Front 2012
Centric Fron 2019
Rears: 64.8mm offset (ASSuming mounting flange to wheel flange)
Moog Rear 2012
Centric Raer 2012
Centric Rear 2019 Same part number as 2012
That's the hack I needed Steve! Thank you
After digging into a few of the details, the 2012 Cruze LT 1.4T and the 2015 Cruze Diesel share the same center bore, mount pattern, stacked flange to flange height. Differences are 5x105mm to 5x115mm bolt circle (hurray!) and 33 vs 30 spline counts. WOMP WOMP.
Looks like I will build a jig and drill the hubs and rotors.
Or.... can you just use the Diesel axles?
When the Cruze came out, they were recalled because the axles were so marginally engineered that they were breaking even before they had a chance to rust.
