Is 172 phase track different to 172 phase 2? wishbones/arb e.t.c

[midge]

Ive been told that its all a different width from phase 1 to phase 2, whats the difference?

Subframe and driveshafts mate. Not 100% sure if ff ph2 172's had the skinny ph1 track width though or not. Cups and 182's are the wider track though.
Hubs are all the same.

Nope, ph1 has narrower track than ph2.

The Ph2 just look narrower due to the wheel offset IIRC.

Any definitive answer?

The only difference between phase 1 and 2 is the driveshafts? so wishbones/hubs/ARB and rack is the same?

There is a thread if you can find it showing the different position of the wishbone bolt holes on the subframe.

The phase 2 172 non cup has the same narrower track as the PH1. I know, as I swapped to 172 Cup wishbones on mine, from standard wishbones. It is a 10mm track width difference in total.

As said, other than the wishbones, all the rest is the same. I know, because when I swapped the wishbones, I didn't need to swap / change anything else.

The arb is different as well? the bushes are different on a phase 1 compared to a phase 2 23mm vs 25mm. Ive managed to get a complete phase 1 setup so going to use all of that
