Hey guys one of my hubs is bad and was already modified with a different bearing, it works under normal driving conditions but every time i drift it the hub gets out and makes the caliper rest on the rotor, you can picture the rest hehe.

Now i wanna replace it and found some replacements on ebay for 130 bucks free shipping which I think is pretty good however they have ABS and non ABS, I coulnt care less about having ABS but I dont know if i buy the non ABS(130 bucks) hubs they´ll work on my car.

Car is a 95 S14 SE with ABS

Any help would be appreciated!!!

when it comes to bearings, you pay for what you get. Think about all the abuse that wheel bearings see; shock loads, axial loads, radial loads plus the weight of the car on top of that. I would never trust ebay when it comes to bearings. But if you're set in your ways, you're gonna need the abs hub if I'm not mistaken. without it, everytime you brake your abs is gonna kick in, unless you unplug it or remove it. Some one correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for your inputs!!

I dont mind taking the ABS off I can just unplug it and roll, the ebay parts are the actual non ABS hubs with bearing ready to install so i owuld say they should be good, I just dont know what could happen if instead of getting the ABS hubs I get the non ABS, not sure if they would fit or what.

only difference that I know of is that the abs hub has an exciter ring pressed on , non abs is the same just without the ring.
