ok say u get a pair of s14 5 lug front hubs with bad bearings
u think it would be a good idea to take off bearings from s13 hubs and compress them onto the s14 hubs

Sileighty_85 · 01-23-2009, 10:46 PM

yes that would be a bad idea cuz the spindles are differnt sizes therefore the bearings are differnt sizes

S14 Spindles are bigger

So you need to buy new S14 Bearings

what?? i didnt know that
so then wat options do u have for 5 lug conversion in the front?

replace bearings in S14 hubs
and you can bolt on the Spindle hub asslemblmy but you need to replace the Lower control arm Ball joint with the S14's LBJ (S14 LBJ is bigger) and then either drill out the S13 strut bolt holes(on the strut/coilovers) and use S14 strut bolts (S14 strut bolts are bigger) or sleve the S14 hub asslemblys struts bolt holes to use the S13 bolts without drilling the Struts/coilovers

I'm drunk and can still answer this. S14 front wheel bearing are NOT replaceable. Call the dealer or anyone.

Pressing S13 bearings in is a waste of time and effort, they won't work.

This is what pisses off zilvian's
Why didn't you just ask or search for 5 lug conversion?
They answered the question as if you were repairing a bad hub.

ok say u get a pair of s14 5 lug front hubs with bad bearings
u think it would be a good idea to take off the good bearings from the s13 hubs and press them onto the s14 hubs, so i can have good bearings in the s14 hubs? I'm trying to do the 5lug swap the cheapest and easiest way possible without buying new parts.. Please don't flame me!

That was a joke I'm bored, waiting a payment to clear.
