WTB: Magna or FTO Front Hubs

[vonapets]

Hey guys,

I was after the front hubs/knuckles/uprights or whatever you want to call them. I don't need the 5 stud hub as I will be pressing in my 4 stud ones. Has to have ABS and has to accommodate the larger caliper spacing (roughly 150mm) from an evo 4/brembos. Also would prefer the nut type ball joint rather than a pinch type.

I have got a set of evo 7 front hubs however the bearings are slightly larger 1-2mm and the hub wobbles around in there and is not ideal. Also the evo 3 shaft is also 2mm thinner in diameter than the evo 7 hub centre spline. The later model magna's (96-00) also have the larger spline diameter similar to the evo 7 however has the correct caliper spacing and ball joint.

Any information on where I should look or if such a thing exists will also be appreciated.

Cheers.

Spend a few hours down at Pick A Part and see if they have what your after? Plenty of Magnas down there to keep you occupied for hours!!

Yeah I have. All of them were wrong in one or more aspects of what I was looking for.

Oh. :thumbsdown:

What I have found out is: 92-96 Magna's have the correct shaft size, ABS is rare and the bolt spacing is the same as GSR/Evo 1-3 (120mm roughly). All the later magna's and variations had the correct caliper spacing, ABS was still rare and the shaft diameter was 2mm larger so the outer cv cup would rattle around.
Nimbus' are correct in all aspects however have the pinch type ball joint (very similar if not the same as evo 4 hubs). I am unsure about the shaft diameter as I could only have a look from underneath of my mates car which he has since sold :|. Also there were none at our pick a part.

There is none that is the same as the evo1 2 3 knuckles bit with the 150mm caliper spacing.

If there was then plenty of people including myself would be doin it. Instead im using evo 4 knuckles with the pinch type ball joints
