I am trying to change the front wheel hubs on my 2000 Chrysler Intrepid. The after market parts and the O.M.E .parts do not fit. The original parts that I removed have a 1/4 inch collar on them and the O.M.E.and after market parts have about 3/4 inch collar. The receiver for the wheel hub assembly has only enough room for the 1/4 inch collar. I have gone to the dealer with the VIN number for the car and they tell me that the parts they have should fit. Is there some extra parts that I need to make these other parts fit?

And as far as I know it is Canadian made. If it wasn`t you would think the dealer would have let me know.
