Can you fit LCR bolt style shaft hubs to cupra shafts with hub nuts ?

[spudboy6]

Hi all , weird one I know hear me out


I’m doing front end swap so whole lot subframe arms rack hub the lot


My new lcr set up uses bolt in drive shafts instead of the older style hub nut shafts ,

Now my car currently has hub nut shafts , what’s my best options ?


1- Change cv joints on my original shafts to lcr bolt style

2 - buy lcr drive shafts

3- change wheel bearing over and use old hub face (where wheel bolts go into ) and retain hubnut style


Really I’d like to Keep things simple and minimise car down time so either two new shafts (can’t seem to find any new lcr shafts at euros or gsf ?)

Or change cv joints on current shafts when subframe is out with lcr bolt style


Or is there a simpler way I’ve missed ?



Just found online j&r do the shafts for reasonable money anybody tried and tested their shafts ?

Does your drive shaft fit all the way in to the lcr hub ?
Is the inner hole in the bearing where the drive flange (where the wheel nuts goes into )goes into the same size ?

I’ll have to have a look .
Can’t compare as one still fitted to the car , one on the floor .

I’ve compared and checked the wheel bearing sizes they are the same .

But I think the front of the flange (where wheel bolts goes into ) is a different size and shape

I have used j&r drive shafts as I’m in the trade
Not had any issues
If your wheel bearings are good you can just use your hub with the new set up that your putting in as there are the same I think the only difference is the drive flange from the cupra and the lcr but I’m not sure
