we have all the hubs, bearings and seals in stock.

and we have a press as well but we aren't as cheap as AHQ; at $7.50 that is a steal.

just my $0.02, which isnt worth much

I'm just trying to help out the do it your selfers..

 

Hey I really appreciate it, and I will stop by for that service (unless we wuss out and just bring you the whole car haha). I am only a couple miles away and wanted to talk to ya anyway. Might stop by in the next couple days. Will be doing some pretty major work on this car in the coming months.

Thanks for the info everyone!

 

Not a problem. I will be happy to accommodate you either way..

honestly, $7.50 is SUPER cheap! and i'm sure that if i could, i'd take advantage of that deal.

and per parts, i've already purchased Timken bearings from the local DIY auto shop.

but, back on topic...

ceramic wheel bearings. does anyone have any real world experience with them? i do know that they would be overkill for me, but apparently that is what i need...

 

Dayum!! That's cheap! GST charged me $180 to press bearings into two front hubs. I brought in the hubs and all parts then walked out with a sore feeling...

 

why would you walk out with a sore feeling? you paid for a service...which they provided.

go to a machine shop, you would be charged similar as well. Our price would be very similar too (not the same as GST but similar).

ITS THE COST of doing business.

AHQ apparently has less cost to conduct there business...to each's own and good for them to be able to make it worth there while doing something for $7.50....If you ask me, I wouldn't touch anything for that little money but again thats there business.

x2 would probally be charged a hour per side at my work.. but the OTC hub tammer works good for wheel bearings

my catalog is so spot on this time



stis have the tapered bearing and hub assembly

 

12345

 

This time... usually not though. Your buyers aren't very interested in listening, either. Oh well.

You'd be hard pressed to mess it up when a single application covers 10yrs. Dork.

 

hahahahhahaha yeah ill agree its off a lot of times


and the buyers are not the best i agree they list teh 07 STI teh same as my WRX which i let them know its not and they didnt listen to me either


was it the 05 on or 04 on for teh STis that had the tapered wheel bearing

 

this is going on tangent real fast
does someone have the answer to this question???=)

 

some one PMed me this


I didn't want to post, as it was getting way off target. But it was the 04 STi that had the crappy bearings. After three sets I got the 6 Gun kit and switched to the 05 and later set up. Should have done that the first time out. No issues what so ever since swithching out.



Check out 6gunracing. They have a kit that switches the 04 STi over to the 05+ bearings and steering knuckles. It is around $800 but well worth it as I have had no problems with 20+ track days on it. I was blowing through the 04 stuff in three or four track days. Sometimes at the track and it would have been $600+ for a tow home if someone hadn't volunteered their AAA+ card. I haven't talked to them in a while so I hope they are still in buisness. They also sell a kit for a little less that switches the bolt pattern over to 5X114. Then you have more options for wheels, but then you have to buy more wheels. Just thought you might want to know.
