does S14 front hubs directly fit on to S13 front spindles? or do you have to get the entire front S14 spindle assembly?

You need to get the entire s14 assembly.

However, if this was on an s14, you could get away with just getting the hubs.

you'll need the S14 spindle, and the S14 lower control arm ball joint pressed into your LCA. Don't forget to pick up the S14 strut bolts. They're larger than the S13's and you'll need to file the holes in your struts a bit larger to fit the bolts.

well, their cars were designed with both 4 lug and 5 lug hubs in mind. our cars were only designed for 4 lugs.

in the rear, i've been told that a Z32 5 lug will bolt right in. I can't validate if that's exactly true or not since I haven't pulled my rear hubs.

the z32 NA (not TT) and s14 SE rear hubs bolt right in.

is the hub pressed into the bearing like in the rear? if so, I still can't figure out why you can't just get the hub and press it into s13 bearings...

anyways...don't you need the knuckle along w/the balljoint?

You need the S14 knuckle, with the S14 balljoin in the S13 controll arm.
