Hey guys,

Some lady ran into me a few months ago and it has been a nightmare ever since. She destroyed my SSR wheel, so two months and $500 bucks later I finally have received the replacement from SSR in Japan. She also taco'd my upper control arm so I took this opportunity to swap out the upper CA with hardrace camber kits, and also swapped in new LCA with hardrace bushings. Figured I might as well throw the hardrace camber kits on the rear as well. I got the tire mounted, threw it on and took it to the shop to get aligned. Turns out my steering knuckle is bent so I can't get it to specs. Tracked down a steering knuckle from eBay and now I'm having a hell of a time finding the front wheel hub assembly. Does anyone know where I can get the hub assembly without having to deal with the stealership? I would prefer to replace it with a new one instead of popping out the original one and reinstalling it just incase it is damaged as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

You should be able to buy a new hub and a wheel bearing from a parts store. Remember, it will be seperate peices.

If you don't want to go OEM, which I highly reccomend you do, go with Timkin or koyo.

 

I will go OEM if it is recommended by most. How bout the bearing, is OEM much better?

 

Also none of my local part stores seem to be able to get the front wheel hub. They all are saying its not listed, only the rear.

 

I personaly bought timkin bearings from rockauto.com for my car. I was reccomended timkin by a lot of people here. Both of them ended up costing less then one Honda bearing.

 

OEM is always better.

 

only thing i would recommend

 

Alright, I'll go OEM for the hub for sure, but at $98.00 for the bearing am I really going to be losing out if I go with the Timken?

 

IMO, no Timkin is just fine.

 

all timkin makes is bearings of different kinds. they supply some OEMs too. i think you'll be fine with them.

 

Thanks guys, I really appreciate all the help!

I picked up an OEM hub from the dealer today. It's p/n on the box is 4019093611.

I then purchased a Timken bearing from my local auto store. P/n is 510015

I also have a used replacement steering knuckle I got off eBay for 92-95 civic EX non abs. (Which I believe mine is because i have drums in the rear, and I've never seen an abs light on the car)

My issue now is that the bearings outer diameter is smaller than the knuckle's bearing hole, yet the bearings inner diameter seems to be correct for the new OEM hub. I'm thinking the auto parts guy may have given me the wrong bearing for my car. (Hoping its not the wrong knuckle) Again it's a 95 civic ex coupe w/o abs (to my knowledge). Are the knuckles different between non abs and abs equipped vehicles? Are the bearings different between non abs and abs vehicles? How about the hubs? (I assume they are)

I haven't had time off work to where I can jack up the car and examine the current knuckle/bearing that's on there now

 

Alright so I checked the casting number on my new(used) knuckle, and it says SR L14N. I believe that knuckle is from an Integra, which might be why I'm having an issue. Are the integra knuckles different from an EX civic knuckle?
