Will 04 STI rear hubs fit in RS knuckles?

Wolf700 · 12-30-2012, 12:21 PM

Just wondering if anyone has tried putting 04 STI rear hubs/bearings into an rear RS knuckle? I know I can get the 04 STI knuckle to work, just trying to be cheap!

Being 5x100, they should fit. I haven't tried, so I can't say for certain. Do you have the bearings and hubs?

I'm going to order the hubs & bearing new anyway, so will try and post what happens. Thanks Jay

I dont think they are going to work with your r160 rear axles. Nothing r180 and r160 likes to interchange.

The bearings won't fit into the RS knuckle.

As he says. The STI bearings have the same partnumbers as the SVX bearings by the way
