replace the whole thing, and if you cant do that yourself, you shouldnt own a car at all.

Yep, because they magically get into the wheel hubs without being pressed in

then i called Don up, said i'll do it for $50...

sponsors=win even if you're a shitty driver

Is that so ?

I have a feeling they are different, mainly because S14 spindles are needed on an S13 to use S14 front hubs, that and the first post I said i'd trust the info from, im about certain shows the S13 replacement bearings which wont fit into the S14 hub, though dont quote me on those being the S13 part number, im pretty sure they are.

look, not looking to get bashed on a wheel hub, i'm just looking at the cost factor of things at this point...

i got a $250-$300 dyno tune
a drift event that is gonna cost me around $200
a laptop i need for dyno tuning getting fixed for $175

all on a 30 hour paycheck... so yeah, i need to just get it rolling, not like it isn't now, i just don't want to have to worry about it...

if i had the money/time, i would buy the front hubs, L and R and do em both myself, shit is easy... but it's cunch time and all parts have to be shipped....

You run your thin S14 hubs that havent had the bearings out ever, i'll run my junkyard J30 hubs with pressed in bearings

One day maybe i'll know as much as you, and be able to manage a run of the mill SR20 swap and stock lip.
