Found out to my cost yesterday a difference between these parts in a Twinair and 1.2.
I had to replace a hub on one side due to accident damage. I already had a complete hub from a 2018 car. The design of the hub was slightly different although fits and the discs were bigger. Fiat have presumably upgraded these at some point.
My breaker car on the drive also has those bigger discs even though it’s 2011. So I took one off the other side to fit on the poorly car. Fits fine however the driveshaft just spins. The driveshaft is either a different diameter or has a different spline pattern. Tried putting the old hub into the breaker car and the driveshaft doesn’t fit in the hole. They are clearly different.
Both cars are 2011, the only difference is the breaker is a Twinair. It never dawned on me that driveshafts and hubs would be different.
Now ordered both sides from eBay to start again.
Just a word of warning if you ever come across this and need to buy a new hub or disc.
