Fitment questions

What years does the Vauxhall Cavalier Wheel Hub fit across?

The Cavalier ran through three main generations: Mk1 (1975–1981), Mk2 (1981–1988), and Mk3 (1988–1995), and wheel hubs are not generally interchangeable across these generation boundaries due to changes in suspension geometry and brake sizing. Within a single generation you have the best chance of a direct swap, but confirm the exact year and engine size with the breaker against your registration before ordering.

Will a wheel hub from a 1989 Cavalier fit my 1993 model?

Both years fall within the Mk3 generation (1988–1995), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but Vauxhall made mid-generation updates to the Cavalier's running gear and brake specifications during this period. Whether a specific hub from 1989 crosses those mid-generation changes to suit a 1993 car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration number to be sure.

Does engine size affect which wheel hub I need on a Cavalier?

Yes, engine size can matter because larger-engined Cavaliers — particularly the 2.0-litre variants — were often fitted with larger brakes, which can mean a different hub to smaller-engined versions of the same year. Always tell the breaker your engine size as well as the year and generation so they can match the correct hub to your car.

Does the trim level affect Cavalier wheel hub fitment — for example, does a GL hub fit an SRi?

Trim level itself does not determine which wheel hub is fitted — what matters is the generation and engine size, not whether the car is a base L, GL, GLS, or SRi. That said, an SRi typically carried a larger engine than a GL, so the engine-size difference between trims is the real factor to check rather than the trim name itself; confirm the engine size with your breaker.

Do I need to specify NS or OS when buying a Cavalier wheel hub?

For most standard hub assemblies the same part fits both sides, but if the hub includes an ABS reluctor ring or the bearing flange is directional, NS (nearside/left) and OS (offside/right) can differ. Check with the breaker whether the specific hub they have is side-specific before you commit to the purchase.

Will a Cavalier Mk2 wheel hub fit a Mk3 car?

The Mk2 (1981–1988) and Mk3 (1988–1995) Cavalier have different suspension and braking setups, so a hub from a Mk2 is very unlikely to be a straight swap onto a Mk3 without modification. This is a known generation boundary where fitment should not be assumed — route this directly to the breaker and give them both registration numbers so they can compare the parts accurately.
