Hi
When weather allows, I will investigate. But what can I jack and
observe? The suspected failure is, I understand, factory bonded inside
the body and is both invisible and inaccessible.
Many thanks
Julian

Your observations and conclusion seem likely to me (however I don't
have an H4). Jim Hearne is the font of knowledge, as he has removed the
body of an H4 and repaired the chassis, if my memory serves me
correctly. Would it be possible to (carefully) gain further knowledge
by jacking the chassis and observing the result? Martin Scott

I've not seen anything on this group for a while, is it still
functional?
Anyway, I think I have a problem with my H4's chassis. The passenger
door is out of alignment and a section of the body kit just forward of
it has separated from the original shell suggesting undue flex/strain.
My fear is that the chassis inside the body shell is bent which can
only mean it has been weakened by corrosion and the stresses of lousy
local roads have taken their toll.
Is that a reasonable conclusion? I'm hoping there is a less
expensive/terminal explanation, but I cannot think of one.
If my fears are justified, what if anything can be done? Most of the
vehicle is in good shape with a lot of work done. But I can't handle a
chassis change, even if such is available.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Regards to all
Julian

I checked on the Ford parts catalogue and on the Mk3 Fiesta there is no
combined drum and hub shown, they are all separate.
But, on the Mk4/5 Fiesta and the KA there were some models with a
combined drum and hub again.
These axles can be used on the Mk3 Fiesta as far as i know so that
maybe where yours came from.
If you axle has a location for a ABS sensor then it's a later than Mk3
axle as the Mk3 didn't have ABS (only the funny mechanical system).

Hi
The wheel nuts go through the drum body and there are no other visible
fixings. Outer drum and bearings are a solid unit which surprised me
since any wear means the whole lot must be changed.
And yes, they are done up tight ;-).
But it's just possible that at some point they were not tight enough
and the inner bearing was able to rotate. What that means is that now,
as the wheel spins the thrust on the bearing also rotates so it has a
small (if finite) chance that the bearing can still move a bit. And of
course it can be very slightly eccentric.
I can't see that it could be a Mk2 axle. The Mk3 bearing kits fit and
the listings give different parts for Mk2 and Mk3.
I'd still like to replace it at some point - if possible. I assume this
is another hen's teeth item.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure all the rear drums on the Mk3 Fiesta had separate drums
and hubs, none were combined like the Mk2 Fiesta, are you sure the drum
wasn't just stuck to the hub ?
Also, when you do the rear hub nut up (It's really tight) then it will
clamp all the inner bearings together between the nut, the bearing
inners and the rear of the spindle, there is no way for the inners to
spin on the spindle unless the hub nut was loose.
So, it doesn't surprise me if you could remove the inner bearings by
hand or if there was slight play.

Hi
I've just replaced the bearings in the rear nearside hub on an H4
(Fiesta Mk3) and found that the inner bearing housing has been worn so
that I was able to turn the whole bearing insert by hand before pushing
it out. The section where it is set is larger diameter than the rest of
the tube through which the shell has to be pushed into place. The new
bearing is better than the old, but there is still a problem.
I cannot find anywhere that supplies replacement Fiesta 3 hubs. There
are items listed but these do not include the brake drums - mine are
integrated.
Does anyone know where a suitable spare may be found, or what else can
be done?
Thanks
