I've ran into an issue swapping out my old front hubs on my 1993 EJ1, I had an axle completely seized in the drivers side hub so I torched it out. Decide to replace both. I purchased bearings and hubs from two different websites, the bearings fit the hubs but unit as a whole doesn't fit the spindle. They're too small. Any help would be great. Searched plenty on the subject.

 

Okay.......subject title is confusing me. What are you trying to do EXACTLY. Did you order the correct bearing and hub for your car or for something else?

 

Depends. are you sure its a JDM ITR front hub? because the USDM ITR front hub is meant for the same axle that comes stock on all D-series (original for your car), and most B-series (excluding the CRV and...the JDM ITR).

Odds are you got the civic DX bearing, youd want the civic EX bearing. Its the same and goes into a factory USDM ITR knuckle. However. If yours is actually the JDM ITR knuckle, the axle uses the 36mm axle nut and the bearing is similar to one even larger. Try one from a 97 Honda CRV. If thats the knuckle you have, that will work. Take pics and I can verify.

 

Sorry guys the title was back asswards, I ordered two hubs and two bearings. Hubs from one website bearings from another website. The new hubs fit the new bearings but are too small for the spindle. I bought the car swapped so are 94-01 DC integra spindles swap-able? Am I just a tard and do EX models have a larger bearing "race" in the spindle? I ordered them specifically for an EX model. I'll get those pics up ASAP brakeExpert

 

dc2 spindles are swap-able but be sure they parts you already bought work with it.

edit: if you do decide to swap, get it complete with the calipers and rotors. No guessing games at the parts store when you have everything.

 

Well I'm thinking the guy that did the ITR swap used DC spindles, that's why the bearings and hubs that I bought, don't fit. It's a shame I already sent them off to powder coat

 

See, it just turns into a guessing game. More time and money lost because you're sitting there trying to figure it out. You can probably compare the calipers to be sure they are dc2's or not but I've never ran into issues like this.

 

Well, in turn the only thing that I came up with is supposedly 92-95 civics, 30% of them came with a larger hub and bearing....but why would that have been changed in the middle of the generation then changed back? Makes zero sense to me. Pulling my hair out here fellas haha
