Mine were exactly the same. I had to Emery the stub axle very slightly to get the bearings to slide on correctly. And the top hats were all different measurements. I agree you should n't have rework something you pay £350 for! The tolerances on those uprights are shocking. I think they must be made in china question... the RD uprights taper bearing is tight around 12mm from its correct position. do i just wind the nut and it will push it into position? does it need pressing? should it be hand tight to remove. i think advice is needed before i damage anything. cheers, paul UPDATE.. ALSO THE SMALL OUTER BEARING TOO..

Hi, I have Just purchased a good running focus with a V5. NOT a cat C or D.
Obviously for my build I will need the V5 for registering and age related plate etc. So when I come to dispose of my Focus shell after stripping it how do I go about this.
I need the V5 so if I scrap it doesn't the V5 have to be sent off? Do I remove all indentity form the shell, ie cut out vin stamp in floor, remove visible vin under front screen and then scrap the shell as "scrap metal" keeping the V5. Effectively the car isn't scrapped? Any Info would be very much appreciated
