1. My front driver hub isnt holding the wheels studs in, theyre all extremely easy to bang out and I can push two out with my hand after pulling the in with a nut as much as possible, even then they easily come out, should i get a used hub from a junk yard or buy a new one from autozone??


2. Also I have tokico blue's with teins all around, 225 50 16 in the fronts and 245 50 16 in the rears, for some reason my driver rear rubs and the passenger rear doesnt?? New shocks new springs, are tires just to big? or is it something else? Thanks for your help

Assuming you're s13: Used hub. New bearing.

Come on man. Read that again. Pretend you didn't type it and that you've never seen the car.

what? Im not going to pretend, Im being serious, Ive never had wheels or aftermarket suspension on my car so I wouldnt know, if your assuming that theres more weight on the driver side because thats where I sit, even with me out of the car, the gap between the tire and fender is smaller on the driver rear than it is on the passenger rear

the wheel studs are grooved, check whats damaged.. the stud, or the hub.. replace as necassary.

rumors abound that in japan the driver side (our passenger side) was made so that it would be HIGHER when standing still, no driver. when the driver got in, it would be a perfect ride height. you WILL see this on sports/sporty cars from japan. our cars believe it or not are low budget ;-) haha. jap cars such as the evos and sti's dont have this issue, but it is prevalent in cheaper cars like ours, z's, etc. unfortunetly, our cars were built in japan, and this switch so that OUR driver side would be higher, never happened. dont believe me? have 4 people push down on each corner of your car. look at wheel gap all the way around. now sit in the driverside, with a roughly 150lb driver. wow, equal on both sides. coincidence? no, i noticed it on my s13, my s14, and on about 2 dozen other cars, including z's, nx's, mr2's, etc. ok.. so what im getting at, is its a bitch cuz u will get fender rub on the driver side rear. double check your tire pressure on all four corners, and have it a half psi higher on the drivers side to compensate the extra weight of yourself. remedy the problem with coilovers ;-) lol. or smaller tires, maybe an extra psi on drivers side. if u want some documented proof of what i was talking about, hit me up. haha. strange, but true.

Good info Bart. I wasn't for sure if it was true. That's good confirmation. Another adjustment :duh:

Just get new studs if yours are stripped. If not, then put some locktite on the studs before you bang them back in.

What's the offset on your wheels? It's hard to know what could be causing the rubbing without knowing offset first.

As for the whole left side lower thing.

That's just because most people are driving old ass car's/suspension. Or don't know wtf they are doing.
