Kia Rio Forum!

I was looking for Kia Rio info on the web and found the Wiki site:

It had a link to "Kia Forums":

This thread on front wheel bearing preload seems to indicate their knuckles are about the same as the Festiva/Aspire:

well, on the up side, it looks as if the bearing spacers may be available from Kia!!

I wish some aftermarket company would sell knuckles with rotors and bearings already installed with the proper shims, especially since a lot of small cars seem to use this setup. Not having to worry about finding the right shim would make our lives so much easier. I guess there's always the Aspire swap.

hmmmm..... sounds like a sideline business for me....

^All I ask in return for giving you the idea is a free set of knucklebearingrotors.

I'm doing them, but it is not free, Sorry, and I need exchange hubs, or if you want specific parts, you can ship the hubs and parts.
