Hello guys,
I have a 97 180sx s13 with 5 stud conversion, i need to replace one of the front wheel bearings but im unsure which one to order as i dont know if it has conversion hubs or replacement s14/a hubs from the previous owner in japan
I believe there is a difference in spindle size from s13/s14
Ive taken some measurements from the car last night
The hub nut is 32mm which should be a S14 hub assembly (M30 for s13)
17mm nut size to strut should be a S13 knuckle which is confusing me as if it had been converted to S14 Knuckles it should be 19mm nuts in the bottom of the strut.
Spindle at nut end itself measured 21mm should get larger where the hub sits but i haven't disassembled it yet
