-Are the rear wheel bearings on my 93 press in or bolt on?

Looks like the rear bearings can be unbolted from the knuckle:



Do you mean front or rear 1/4 panels? I know people usually call the fronts fenders, but it's a metter of opinion

Front fenders are everywhere...easy to find and relatively cheap. The rears are available, but will be a bit more $$$.

Rear's are very expensive to have put in,and i would assume difficult to do yourself. It involves cutting out the old one, and welding the new one in, not to mention the obvious sanding and painting needed. When my mom backed into my passenger quarter, it cost my insurance just over 3k to get it fixed. glad i didn't have to pay for that.

i wouldnt replace the quarter panel on a 15 yr old car. not worth the money. for that money you can buy another 4th gen. i got mine banged out for 525. the job wasnt perfect but it was good enough for 525. im sure that you can get it done for around that price or maybe a little more...but ull definitely be spending a lot less than replacing the whole pannel.

whats the point of replacing the rear quarter panels?

Are you trying to get an all out wide body kit?

i think U are talking about the spindle but hes asking about the hub.

if its like a 5th gen and im sure it is you will have to remove your wheel then remove the caliper, caliper mounting bracket, break the spindle nut loose with a 32mm and then the hub will just slide off. if it doesnt just slide off give it a couple whacks with the hammer though mine have always slid off by hand and ive got wacky rust on my car. maybe 15 minutes per wheel

Whatever you want to call it , I was just saying it looks like the part that contains the bearing can be unbolted.

rear wheel bearings can be replaced in about 10mins per side. they're very easy.

Everytime i have changed the rear wheel bearings i have just swapped out the entire hub assembly. Is there a way to pull the bearing out or do you guys change out the whole things too?
