Default 1989 civic hatch front right wheel hub replacement?

My wheel bearing is going bad so I need to replace the bearing, at the same time I don't want to pull the bearing to see i need a hub also. Buying a hub from honda is out of the question as its 300$. So what I'm asking is what other cars have the same front right hub for an 89 hatch? will a 90-91 work? what about a 4 door hub?

I don't see why not. Just make sure it's from the same trim, I can't recall if SI, EX model has bigger brake system.

$300???? where are you getting your pricing from? list price is $175. you could get it from majestic honda for $126. not necessarily cheap but no where near $300. either way, why do you think you need to replace your hub?

since when do hubs really go bad?? don't take that the wrong way, I'm not saying it in a degrading manner, but really, there's no moving parts or anything like that. It's a machined piece of metal that spins in the wheel bearing. what could go "bad" on it?

if the bearing is ****ed up and you drive on it for long enoug I guess it warps and you can't get a new bearing in it. It's just a risk I can't afford to take when I need my car daily
