Front swivel housings - interchangeable?
....so many questions, so little time..!

Are front swivel housings interchangeable? Not the swivel balls, but the housings. I have the later ones without the drain plug. Can I use the older ones with filling and drain plugs? Or would I need to change a whole lot of other bits?

The earlier ones won’t be, because they use the raiko bush at the top rather than a bearing.

300Tdi and later housings will fit your swivel balls.
