Gambit Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Funny enough I'm going down this road as we speak but I'm needing a hub with it. on the front N/s :( I've got one but my missus keeps trying to find it cheaper which is annoying now held me up for 2 days already with it soon have everything here but the !Removed! hub. She likes to beat me with prices She does find some good deals though sometimes. But does look from 93 to 98 the Legacy didn't change the bearing or hubs but don't hold me to this. As I have found it a bit of a mine field. when I've been looking at hubs some people have said fit's other models but when I look there the wrong size :( I'd just try find one that fit's. Have you given Import parts a ring ? give them the reg number be able to tell you for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exup1000 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Popped into auto factor today £118 for just the bearing Oi you ever seen these wheels before, I've seen ones very similar but never found any others, they came on the car, I'm in two minds to buy new ones or refurb these with 40 mm side wall tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exup1000 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 What do you think of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 How the hell are they that much £25 something for a front one of Import parts thats for the Imp but can't see why it would be much more. From the pictures I like the ones off eBay more look a bit like the Rotas :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exup1000 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 That's the ones, mine will cost me £ 680 to sort out but I know they suit my car better, trying to weigh up weather their worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Could always buy them and get them dipped. But cost goes up :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Ive found on my last couple of OBs that the front wheel bearing is prone to eating the hubs, I had to change both front hubs because they were so badly scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
