As a matter of fact. According to the thread I've got going on. I need Just the front splined hub with the preload spacer for each one(on the exact hub it came from). No knuckle. Just the piece the CV shaft slides through

I have never dealt with the hubs on these cars before, so I wouldn't know how to take them apart to check for the spacers. I don't even know how to remove the rotor.

If I knew how to do this, with limited access to tools in a junkyard, I definitely would. If you can convince me it is easy, and tell me what simple tools I would need, then I probably can snag them for ya.

Takr the wheels off. Then You need 12mm to remove the calipers out of the way. 23mm with a decent breaker bar (while the car is in gear to crack the CV nut(the nut right in the center of the hub) after the nut is off the rotor comes out with (hopefully ) minimal prying. Then It's a 14mm to remove the bolts that gold the rotor to the hub.

The spacer is the washer-like thing that slides in between the bearings. It should come out when you remove the hub from the knuckle.

If you need visuals, I'll start a thread in the repair help witness photos of what to do tomorrow morning so you can see exactly what to do. It sounds like a pain, But It's relatively simple. You don't have to send me anything bit the hub (with bearing because those are a pain to unpress ) and the washer looking spacer that goes with it.

I only need the driver's side. Or passenger side. Whichever is easier for you to pull off. And I'd appreciate it a lot.

If it ends up being too big a hassle once you get into it (because you'll need a 23mm socket and not a spanner) I can try and track one down otherwise.

Here are a couple of photos of the stabilizer bushings. The new one is the one I got in the group buy Bravekozak set up from Fourgreen...

The old oil soaked one:


The new:


Also installed new bolt and bushings in the transmission end of the shift rod. Took the car for a spin and the difference in shifting is very noticable. banana time

Let me know too Torque, I will be back over at upap in 2-3 weeks. If you can't get it I will try.

[bravekozak]

fast, you're getting me in trouble posting that one. I ordered the wrong part for everyone else including myself last time. A lot of PMs about that. I will be sure to order the right part number next time.

Does anybody need some stabilizer bar to control arm bushings? I just happen to have a few ( 30 ) left over. Oh yeah, and a few ( 60 ) shifter bushings.

[Prafeston]

The old oil soaked one:

Oh wow...there was actually something left of your old bushing. Mine was literally GONE!

I want shifter bushings! the front two are the same, no?

[muleskinner]

I put the other new brake caliper on today after I had to put the other new one on yesturday on the road.

I also put the other headlights & assembly, from the white car from upap, on to replaced the ones on my car.
