Front hubs for 2022 GT 300A Base

[MrMike]

Better steering geometry from the GT350/500.

Would this also require different tie rods and/or control arms, or would a new knuckle and hub bolt right on a 15-17?

No, Still steel knuckles from the Mach1/2024. Bolt on.

Thanks. I have new control arms and brakes in hand but not installed yet so I am considering this as the front will already be apart.

I found the hub is PR3Z-1109-B from a Mach 1 HP, any idea what the part number is for the knuckle? Googling/searching the forum trying to find them.

Edit: Maybe NR3Z-3K186-A?

I just stumbled upon your blog and was wondering about this.

Other than the steering geometry.
Are the wheel hubs actually in the sense they will last longer? In blog you say they are the same ones on the Explorer which you would think they would last longer longer on a lighter vehicle.

They have a much deeper bearing so I would say more robust.

Thanks. I ended up buying a kit and had no problems getting it all on my car in the end, but the kit did not include the bolts to attach the sensors to the knuckles.

The bolts for the rear dust shields fit perfectly which was odd.

Would those swap right in on a '18 Magride car ? Meaning would the existing hubs fit as they are ?

Negative completely different

You'll need the entire setup w/knuckles, hubs, bolts and ABS sensors.

Thanks - but are they ? They are also mounted with 4 bolts, not with single nut. Thought those (Nagrodę) hubs were identical to GT 350 ones ?

Man, I wish I would have known about this when I swapped my control arms.
I really don't feel like taking them off again. They were a PITA..

My wheels bearings are fine for now. Only have 20K.
There's not really a upgrade for the rear besides swapping the entire IRS from the GT500?

Now I read through all the info you have available. Does anyone in addition to Steeda sell a kit ?
I'd have replace studs right from the get go - I know you have readily available hubs with long studs....

Yes, 100% not the same as the GT350 / Magride hubs. Will not bolt up.

Just buy the knuckles from your local Ford Dealer and our Hubs. We have a love hate relationship with Ford parts, we usually lose money because they change prices constantly.
