Replacing front hubs

[rancid240]

I have to replace my front hubs because I had my lug studs replaced by a shitty ass shop and they didnt press them in &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> &nbsp;i found out this weekend when i only had 2 lugs on both front tires on tight. &nbsp;the others were movable with my fingers. &nbsp;well with all the vibration the holes on the hubs where the lug studs press into are fucked...how hard is it to replace the hub with a new one, and will it be a good time to go 5 lug?

I say switch to 5 lug, it will give you a better wheels selection and make it a bit easier to do the Z32 brakes. But finding 5lug S14 front hubs might be a bit hard, you could get lucky though.... i did.

If not i wonder if S14 4 lug hubs work on an S13, if so i have a set for sale. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

I think it would only be worth it if you are into rims and z32 brakes. &nbsp;If you are definatly going to... upgrade. &nbsp;And do it anyway if the price difference isn't that much. &nbsp;But, if it's like $100 difference per hub, and you don't think you'll upgrade rims and/or brakes... dont.
