2G To replace just wheel bearing or whole hub assembly?

[Hjelle88]

I'm going to be replacing my front drivers wheel bearing (and probably the passengers side as well due to "one goes, the others sure to follow). My question as stated by the title is, do I replace just the wheel bearing it's self, or would it be better to replace the whole hub assembly?

It's on a 95 GST.

I don't think they sell the bearing separately. I think it's sold as a whole assembly with the bearing already pressing onto the hub. I got mine from www.autopartswarehouse.com super fast shipping and great parts.

Omar is correct. You can only buy the whole hub for 2g owners.

When I ordered mine from JNZ tuning, it was a complete hub assembly, it had the bearing pressed in and ready to go. It comes with new wheel studs and all. You just take the old hub assembly out of the knuckle and bolt the new assembly in.

Ok, thanks guys! I'm not only new to the whole DSM world, but honestly, new to being one's vehicles own mechanic. Needless to say, this site has helped a ton.

Are the chrysler front hub the same as eclipses hub??? I asked this because I replaced my knuckles on the rear on my gst, and they came off a chrysler. Perfect match!!!

Yea the 2gs all share the same knuckle set-up

There are some "only the bearing" kits out there, but it's nearly impossible to get the old ones out of the hub. I sent them back and ordered a complete assembly.

Just get the complete hub assembly and some anti-sieze to apply liberally. They are cheap enough to replace the whole assemblies you don't need to bother with it.

So I got a question!!! At a local junk yard there's a 95 TSi AWD 5spd everything looks great(extra greasy but idc no rust ) I bought the 2piston calipers front subframe rear subframe transmission diff transfer case drive shafts all for $200.00 . But the car was ABS my spyder isn't so I didn't buy the (2)rear knuckles or (2) rear hubs was that a bad move???
