S13 w/Z32 fr brakes: which wheel bearing?

[NateDogg]

Hey everyone,

The front passenger side wheel bearing on this car we just bought is defective and I was wondering since it has the Z32 hubs would you use a S13 wheel bearing or a Z32 wheel bearing?

Thanks,Nate

having Z32 brakes does not=having Z32 front hubs. buy your stock wheel bearings unless the previous owner did some wierd stuff like putting on the actual Z32 hubs...

If it has the Z32 hubs then use the Z32 bearing

If it has the S13 hubs then use the S13 bearing

Well I'm pretty sure it has the Z32 hubs because it has a 5 bolt pattern on it that was redrilled. Am I correct in thinking that? Would anything else have to be changed to use the Z32 hubs?

Doh, your thinking of the rotor hat.

Use the S13 hubs.

Thanks Nismo_Freak I appreciate your help.

Most people use S14 hubs to do the 5 lug conversions. There are a few aftermarket hubs though. You will have to figure out if you have the S14 front hub assemblies, or some aftermarket stuff. The z32 assemblies won't bolt onto an S13.
