but my question is.. would i be able to use

CL front hubs
CL front rotors
and instead of ACCORD wheel bearings, can i just use CL wheel bearings?

thanks guys

holmesnmanny

Yes, you can. I got mine as a kit here brand new though...

It comes already pressed together ready to go.

Yes to all 3 questions if the car is a 90-97 accord.
You didn't list which year accord.

JSPECxSEDAN

oh im sorry.. i have a 91 and a 93.. and my bro has a 94

so i can just use 98 cl hub, cl bearing, and cl rotor?

and does it have to be only 1998? or what years can it be from?

nus_dogg

I don't think you're suppose to use CL bearings. You're suppose to go with Accord 90-97 bearings and use the CL hubs to press it on the Accord bearings. The Accord bearings are designed to be able to bolt onto the Accord front knuckles. I don't know if CL knuckles are the same as Accords.

JSPECxSEDAN

o ok.. anyone else got any input on this? my wheel bearings are shot.. my front passenger, rear passenger and i think rear driver also.. so i think im just gonna do a rotor over hub conversion.. well i want to lol

holmesnmanny

We already said he could. Instead of flatly saying we're wrong, when ur not sure, you shouldn't even comment on it. Furthermore, bearings don't bolt onto knuckles, they press into hubs which bolt onto knuckes.

The CL rotor will have the holes for the screws. If you use the accord rotors, which will work, they will just hangs on there until you mount caliper back on. The accord bearings and cl bearings will both press into the cl hub, which you will obvsiouly be using, or ur not doing a conversion.

I know u can use either the '98 or '99 cl 2.3 rotor. Keep in mind, you will be using the 2.3 parts not the V6 parts CL.

JSPECxSEDAN

oh ok its 2.3 cl.. so pretty much all i need that is different is the cl hub.. and then from there i can use accord or cl bearings with cl or newer accord rotor..

You have to use a CL Premium and not the base model one.

I've posted a link to AccordinglyDone a ton of times with all the current brake setups that are compatible. Do a quick search for it either here or there.

nus_dogg

Dude, reason I said go with Accord bearings is because its been done many time and this is the first time I actually see people saying that CL ones will work. This is for the OP to consider.

I've done mines many time and what I do is use the four bolts on the back of the accord knuckle to pull the bearing/rotor back together instead of pressing them in which will save me time/money! And I know they're pressed into the front knuckles but I don't use the press to press mine in, I use the bolts to pull them together once I'm ready to get them in back in.

OP, just get them from TASAuto all assembled together to save you the hassle.

holmesnmanny

Ok, fair enough. TBH, I never asked tasauto which bearings they're using. Didn't think it would matter.

JSPECxSEDAN

im not on accordinglydone.. and tasauto wants alot for the setup

You don't have to be on it to search for it.

JSPECxSEDAN

ok thanks bro lemme check that out when i get back from the smog inspection

accordhybrid

Doesn't matter if it is premium or base they are the same. Though things could have changed since i did mine 7-8 years ago.

JSPECxSEDAN

ok so i can use the cl hub, cl bearing, cl or 98-02 accord rotor.. yeah!!

Hello, I am Daniel from Germany and now would make also with pleasure this do alterations. Is this the right one lifted?

The camp of the Acura with the number 44200 sm1 008 also fits in my Accord ce9

holmesnmanny

Yep, that looks like the one.

Hondafan1986

Can a side call to me one maybe where one the line does good more favourably or is the price?

If one can also take others lifted or only acura 2.3 centilitres

holmesnmanny

If you're asking for a cheaper option rockauto has a Dorman assembly for $60 each, so basically $130 or so shipped for both.

holmesnmanny

Actually now that I'm looking at the picture of that assembly up close, it's for the Accord, I'm not sure why they got that Accord hub in the CL section. I would say call rockauto and ask them if you really get the CL hub or you're getting the Accord hub because that picture is for the Accord hub and the oem cross reference is for the Accord hub as well. The CL hub part number is 44600-SY8-A00

Hondafan1986

Nevertheless, Dorman 950003 is same like mine has accord to. I would want this one the disc from the front on it can make

My junkyard just got a low mileage (67k) '99 Acura CL 2.3 and the stock bearings spin great. I bought the entire spindle/knuckle assembly since it was only $20 more and was wondering if i can just drop the entire knuckle into the '96 accord.

1996accordlx

Yup! That is the easy way to do it, and exactly what I did on my first Accord before going to 5-lug down the road.

Man its really hard to believe I wrote this 15 years ago! I'm surprised that this is still a thing, but i'm really glad people still find this helpful, even if parts are becoming hard to find.
