ok so i tried to install the 5 lugs today. I have 180sx and the 5lug came off s14.
I have problem on the rear, at toe link.
As normal s14, the rear would bolt right on s13, but the one i ahve for some reason the toe link is ball join instead of loop. see picture....

Everything is identical, just the toe link. what i think is that this S14 had hicas. Question is, can i push this ball join out and use Energy suspension bushing replace it?

that picture you posted on top looks like a hicas rear upright just take those 4 rear bolts 19mm i think and hammer the hole hub out, then slide the rear hub onto the upright bolt it up and call it a day.

WTF are you doing taking out your uprights and LCAs for?

Just unbolt the hub from the upright

Take the hub and bolt to S13 spindle.

You're doing way too much work.

THE HUBS DO NOT NEED TO BE PRESSED OUT OF THE UPRIGHT!!! A couple taps with a rubber mallet and they will fall right out.
