4th gen front wheel hubs

Post by Ash.Z » Sat Jun 18, 2022 1:11 pm

Hi, can anybody point me in they right direction to buy 2 new front wheel hubs for my 4th gen. They seem to be discontinued, I can’t seem to find any aftermarket ones either.
Cheers

You can buy aftermarket wheel bearings and have them pressed in but the whole knuckle/hub assembly has been discontinued for many years now and were very expensive anyway. Best bet is to find knuckle/hubs from a breaker or just replace the bearings.
I have a set of front hub/knuckles for 4th gen for BB4 (non abs type) but they are so heavy it would be almost impossible to ship them out safely so collection only from Edinburgh.
1996-2000 1993 EG9 Blue Civic 1.6 Vti - Traded in against the BB4
2000-2019 1994 2WS BB4 Milano Red JDM Prelude Si VTEC LSD

2015 on > 1991 4WS BB1 Phantom Pearl Grey JDM Prelude Si VTEC LSD
2021 ON > 1998 2WS BB6 White Pearl JDM Prelude Si VTEC

Thanks, I may have to get that from the states. I was hoping there was some company that makes aftermarket ones.

I think Vanzep is right...try to find someone breaking one. More than likely your best bet

Does anybody know, are 5th gen front wheel hubs the same as 4th with the exception of being 5 stud? If so has anybody ever re drilled them for 4 stud?

Wouldn't a set of 2.0i 5th gen one's fit being 4 stud ?
Not sure if they are exactly the same as the 4th gen one's or not.

If somebody could verify that would work perfectly.

4th gen front wheel hubs

Post by K30DPC » Mon Jun 27, 2022 8:37 pm

I've done 5stud conversion to mine years ago. Everything match perfectly and I've done extended tracking with almost all measurements after conversion and it seams to be perfect like manual sais. The only issue I had was with driveshafts. 4gen outer cv joints are slightly different. The part which is going through wheel bearing is about 2mm longer than on 5gen. I started with 2mm washer and eventually changed driveshafts for ones form 5g. Again perfect fit. Can't comment on 4 lugs 2.0 5 gen and driveshafts compatibility but I would expect similar.
