Looking like the front bearings / hubs are developing some play on my Evo. The stock parts are hard to find and quite expensive, I've seen it mentioned that Gen 3 hubs can be made to work, does anyone have more details on that? Does everything bolt up and a spacer is just needed to put the brake rotor in the right spot?

Cheers

I had a close look at them and eventually I gave up. Main reason being bearings are geometry related items and I didn't want to modify by drilling holes in my knuckle or putting any sort of spacers in there. I just ended up buying new hubs. Front MR418493 and Rear MR353005. You could try www.carmarka.com , www.megazip.com , www.amayama.com - They have massive Japanese car parts databases and ship worldwide.

Yeah, I hear you. I'd definitely prefer to just use stock parts as well, however for me that's not sustainable. My Evo gets used for rally events so hubs are going to be a reasonably frequent wear item. Even if I can get one this time (looks like there is exactly one from the UAE and maybe some that I could have by june-august from japan), who knows if I'll be able to get one next time, they aren't making them anymore. The gen 3 hubs, on the other hand, are readily available from many aftermarket suppliers.

I went ahead and picked up a gen 3 hub (for significantly less than half the cost of an evo hub) to compare them and see. Here's what I've found so far just by taking measurements and looking at them:

-Bolt holes into the spindle should all line up. This is the big relief as it means no new holes need to be drilled.
-The Gen 3 hub has a longer bearing section that sticks into the hub. Not sure by how much, maybe 10mm or so.
-The Gen 3 hub has a significantly shorter distance between the mounting surface to the hub and the mounting surface to the rotor. About 20mm shorter.
-The Evo rotors and everything match up, IE: same bolt pattern, same hub diameter.

This means that I'll need two spacers to make it match the stock geometry. One on the bearing section, and another on the front between the hub and the rotor (plus some longer studs, but that's easy).

Any info from people who have done this would be welcomed...otherwise I will continue figuring this out myself.

Cheers!

Your reasons make sense. Im interested in what you find with your findings. Please continue posting.
