FWD Hubs

Ford Fiesta mk3 type front upright is easy enough just cut the CV joint surround off the drive flange, how ever you might run into problems with the bottom ball joint mounts as there is considerably less material to take a maxi ball joint as some are split with a pinch bolt not castle nut locked on. It'll take a lot of searching with mix and match parts. You might also have to adjust the lengths of the wishbones to get the correct camber and caster so the car turns in to corners and self centres.

It can be difficult, some front wheel drive hubs have poor geometry simply because they're for a fwd car. These uprights are designed for things like torque steer and are usually not tall enough for our purposes.

The only way to get the ideal upright is to design and build your own.

Uprights other than Ford will not have the 4/108 PCD either which means that you'll have to redrill the hubs or use different wheels front to back.

Having said that Tiger used to use the Mk2 Golf upright.

I thought Tiger used the Golf track control arm as the 'lower wishbone' arm as the ball joint suited the Sierra upright. That's how I remember it on their Cat E1.
