AndyR Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hi all, working on astra today, getting ready for m o t. Whilst checking drive shaft gates and steering rack, brake pipes etc. I noticed that on the cable going to front wheel bearing there is a tag with bar codes and the date 1997 09 30. Is this an assembly date, or whenit was fitted. The car os 52 reg. Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vauxhall Owners Club Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 That's an odd one Andy, certainly has a date of 1997 but would have been hanging around somewhere for many years before being fitted to your car. Which is odd as I though cars were built with the 'just in time' method of parts supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyR Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 A friend mentioned that it could be a date it was quality controlled. But again, why would it have sat about so long before being fitted to the car?? One of those mysteries that will probably never get answered.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
