Need help finding 3000GT VR4 new rear outer wheel hubs

[twicks69]

I am running DSS Stage #5 axles that utilize a 3000GT rear wheel bearing/outer hub assembly (splined portion accomodates larger diameter/spline count outer CV cups), but am having troubles finding replacement entire wheel bearing/hub assemblies. I NEED the outer portion as a required piece. I can always cannibalize a set of 2G AWD rear wheel bearings for the inner portion. The bearing dimensions are the same.

I have only been able to find the bearing by itself; no inner or outer portion of the hub or the entire unit brand new.

I appreciate the help!

I tried, but don't find anything at any neighborhood part stores for the assembly (basically #8 below). You may be stuck with the dealership or other OEM parts distributor on that one (MB664902, just in case).

For some reason, I have a sneaking suspicion that DSS is actually using FRONT wheel bearings off the 3000GT VR4 as rear bearing units on the DSM with their stage 5 axles. Part number MR223993. (or aftermarket; Timken TM513133, or FEQ W0133-1607255)

Does anyone know what diameter and spline count the 3000GT VR4 front axle outer CV's are?

Ah, well that would give you some options!

BR930354 for one.

I will have to get the diameter and spline count off my axles to confirm!

Subscribed! This is something I have been looking at as a possibility. I have no specs to go off of but I was guessing they were swapping parts and pieces from different models for the axles as well. I have some FWD DSS axles and the cv joints and cups look to be OEM or equivalent.

Twicks I did some digging on the net and it seems the front hubs #513133 will fit the 03-06 lancer, 91-99 3kgt vr4, and 91-96 stealth. I did find a rear hub and bearing minus the flange Timken #512039. It says it will fit 91-99 3kgt vr4 and stealth. I found some measurements on here. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/catalog.php
