I knew as did others there's a difference.
Now unless they now supply a spacer,theres a width difference,unless on the last run of omega's gm fitted tbe same arms and bearings to estate and saloon. We need old copy of epc to check.

the epc disc is original from vauxhall, eric

Number 8 as it happens

Your link to somewhere that acknowledges the difference ought to put the arguement to bed

Over to our illustrious leaders...

And I put it to you that it is incomplete and inaccurate

[05omegav6]

Just to add, the trailing arms are also different saloon to estate

[biggriffin]

So the case is estate rear arms and bearings are different, "me lud"
Therefore me lud we the defense need the evidence to prove our case 100%, the defense calls the shopkeeper a mr robg of brisol,pictures please

Fixed that for you

Different aproach.
If you fit a 45mm long bearing in a 48mm long hole its going to move,if you put a 48mm bearing in a 48mm hole it wont move.. Me lud!

Fortunately Vauxhall realised this and provided a different bearing for each posibility

i am from an engineering back ground and dont need told my job thanks nice to see this being kept social i would have had more than an eye brow raised if i had fitted the bearing with 3mm of room to spare, i dont know i vx made a mod to the arms thru the production run or not but its also possible, eric

[Doctor Gollum]

Nope, you've copped the arse because your wrong

[omegapioneer]

and so it decends into name calling, eric

i checked back in a old trade club book from 07 which lists the saloon as 90510542 and the estate as 90486468  with only reference to it as another size KIT, REPAIR, REAR WHEEL BEARINGS, 39 X 74 X 39MM (NLS.- USE 90510542) must have been updates thru run eric

Don't have the saloon numbers as I have no interest in them but suspect the break point is early/mid '96 from the chassis numbers...
