View Full Version : Front Wheel Bearing.

Having decided my front wheel bearings were no longer in tip-top shape, I decided to change them. Using Bernmc's article, I finally managed to get the first one done, destroying a few bolts and a hub puller on the way.....

But the point of this thread is to support and give credit to EdmundVR4 for his discovery and info in this thread (http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21709).

A couple of weeks ago, I bought a couple of Eclipse wheel hubs from the USofA. They arrived and are a perfect fit.....

Just to compare the new with the old....

The best bit about it is that I have been told that Stealerships charge £250 ish plus VAT each. Camskill charge £150 each. I got these for $99.99 the pair. So even with $98 shipping, it still only cost me £100 for a pair of hubs!

Bobby Bargain! :thumbsup:

I used Best Suspension on ebay, but I'm sure there are other options.

Good luck anyone who follows in my shoes. Removing the old rusty ones is MUCH harder than fitting the new ones, which is still harder than saving yourself a fortune. :thumbsup:

There's positive news on the suspension front regarding Eclipse parts being interchangeable - I've alluded to this several times but now someone's bought some bushings and they look like a match. Fitting still to take place, but it's looking good so far!

Thanks for being the gineau pig on this one..... an excellent saving. As Mike says a sticky reqired.

Did eclipses come with 4 bolt hubs at any point? :inquisiti

Kieran

Nick, exactly which model was it? The 1995-1999 AWD Turbo?

Nick Mann
15-02-2008, 03:37 PM
It was listed as fitting:

CHRYSLER: Sebring Coupe 95-05.

DODGE: Stratus Coupe 01-05.

EAGLE: Talon AWD 95-05, Talon 95-98.

MITSUBISHI: Eclipse AWD 95-03, Eclipse 95-05, Galant 99-03, Galant L4 ENG 04-05.


Also, the number which often seems to be quoted for this hub is 513157.

As far as I was aware the Eclipse AWD and the Galant were built around the same platform, I'm sure it uses the same floor plan too and was a pseudo coupe version of the Galant.
I stand to be corrected but I was banking on this for seats etc.

I tried to buy direct from the US and was tld theywouldn't ship outside the US...then hung up on me...I called back andas told they wouldn't speak to me as I wasn't within the US...so great news that they fit and are a cheaper option, but you would need to find a supplier in the US that would be happy to ship outside the US...clearly Nick did - which suggests I need to start using Ebay!

Nick Mann
16-02-2008, 12:30 PM
There must be plenty of USA people that will?

I used an ebayer called bestsuspension nad whilst they didn't list postage to the UK, they were happy to quote and then send the goods when I asked via email and paid via paypal. No phones involved! Maybe suppliers trust the electronic money exchange more than a long distance phone call.

Am i right in thinking that the Front Wheel Bearings for the Galant/Legnum is the same as the EVO 4/5/6 ??

Nick Mann
14-06-2008, 11:11 PM
Yes. And the 7/8/9 I believe.

peter thomson
14-06-2008, 11:27 PM
I think it's just 4 to 6 Nick going by all the part numbers on Camskill's site .Rears are the same

Wodjno
15-06-2008, 08:24 AM
I think it's just 4 to 6 Nick going by all the part numbers on Camskill's site .Rears are the same

Thats what i was thinking /yes

So there would be a fair market for the bearings then :thinking:

Would have been better if it would fit 7/8/9 as well /yes

I know that you can ship your own for a Tad over a £100 from the US.. But is there a chance that you could get hit for custom charges on top of that ??

What would be a price that members would be happy to pay for a Hub and Bearing shipped to them straight from the UK ??

And having a 1yr unlimited mileage warranty on them as well /yes

Cheers

WODJ :D

Nick Mann
15-06-2008, 09:45 AM
I didn't get hit for customs charges. But that could be luck of the draw. If it's within 20% of the import price to the UK, then I would buy from the UK.

So we are talking £60-65 area inc P+P..
Are the 1's from the US warranted ?
Also if there is an issue with them would u have to foot the bill for return shipping ?

Nick Mann
15-06-2008, 10:05 AM
Yes they are warranted, but I would imagine I would be footing the bill for shipping. That's why I said I'd be willing to look at up to 20% extra to keep the business at home.

To be honest - it doesn't matter what I think - I already have new ones!! I guess other input would be more useful.

Wodjno
15-06-2008, 10:13 AM
All input is good input /yes

As you say Nick, it can be hit and miss with the Import tax and Vat /yes

Also the speed of original shipping and exchange shipping times if they were UK based would be an important factor..

And the offer of free return shipping.. :afro:

peter thomson
15-06-2008, 11:05 AM
I would go for the UK ones at that price .Would you be looking at front and rear bearings

Anyone has buyed wheel bearings from http://rockauto.com/

Talked to a mitsubishi dude who always order his things on this site.

Is it the same wheel bearings on the galant v6 non turbo as in the legnum?

Paul Beazer

Non VR4s have 4 bolt hubs, EXCEPT the 4WD STs and STRs.

Nick Mann
07-08-2008, 09:27 AM
As Paul says, the hubs are different - UK cars are 4 stud, VR4s are 5. As to whether the bearing in the hub is the same - I couldn't say.

Catalan
28-08-2008, 07:25 AM
Here, we usually change only bearing in hub
not full hub, it's not look like so cool as new hub, but not expensive :)

we use
KOYO DACF1092A for front hubs, it's the same bearing as in original hub.

bearing the same in 4 stud and 5 stud hubs, and also use on other MMC (RVR/Chariot Grandis/Space Runner/Space Wagon в кузовах N6x/N7x/N8x/N9x)

09-12-2008, 10:10 PM
yes but unless you are tight I'd go the full bearing route
I have done both now
Full hub was so much easier
bearing was about £65 where as the hub was about £150 (uk) but nick said £65 on an import
Bearing is KOYO DACF1092A but try to get one lol

While fitting the wideband lambda I checked the front wheel bearings while the car was off the ground. Both are a bit loose including the new one I bought from the States. I may just have been unlucky with the ones I bought and will fit the spare I have and order a couple more and see if they last longer. The new one was fitted in January and the roads up here are in very poor condition but it is still a very quick failure
Anybody else had any problems with the US ones.

MPBVr4
03-04-2009, 03:03 PM
Very premature I would say. I've had 3 8G's over a 7 year period and never replaced a wheel bearing. The roads in the West Country aren't the greatest.

Nick Mann
04-04-2009, 07:59 PM
My US ones are still going strong. I'm sure it will just be bad luck. Still a bummer for you though.

peter thomson
04-04-2009, 08:31 PM
Yes I think so and I wouldn't be surprised if they have suffered due to my suspension setup. I emailed best suspension today and asked for the cost for delivery for another 2 and they now want $98 for delivery . The last pair were $62. They said $62 was for one hub so I don't know if they made a mistake or are just trying to make some more money

Nick Mann
05-04-2009, 08:49 AM
IIRC I paid $99 for the bearings and $98 for delivery.

I'm sure it cost almost exactly £100 for 2 at the time, with a 2:1 exchange rate.

peter thomson
05-04-2009, 08:58 AM
Thanks Nick they must have made a mistake as that is the cost you have a the start of the thread. I've emailed some of the other sellers in the US but if they don't get back to me quickly I'll order from the same guys again.

peter thomson
07-04-2009, 10:27 PM
Couldn't get a better price in the US so ordered from best suspension again. £133 a pair including delivery . I had to pay customs last time so I assume I will be again

peter thomson
01-07-2009, 08:34 PM
I have another bearing with play. This one is from the same batch of 2 I bought a while ago. The other new one is fine so it's looks like there may well have been a bad batch

Peter, I bought a set from Best Suspension too, so far I have found them to be excellent, but I'll keep an eye on mine, I bought them in January does that correspond with when you got yours?

I would have bought my ones in November/December going by when I changed them. I think I have just been unlucky with the pair I bought as there haven't been any reports from anybody else of these ones failing.

What is strange is that at the MOT on Friday the tester couldn't be sure if the wheel bearing was the culprit as the amount of slack was almost nothing but since then it has gone down very quickly and from not noticing any problems before the mot I can certainly tell something isn't right. New one will be fitted on Saturday

Going to pick the car up from Eurospec today. They kindly agreed, as I was having the cambelt / tensioners / pump done by them, as well as fitting an SAYC diff, to give the car a free going over to check for any niggles or known issues. They found som small bits, one of which was a suspected front wheel bearing.

Any feedback fron the guys who fitted the bearings from the states, now that some time has passed? Looking to get an order in for a pair as soon as. :)

MPBVr4
06-11-2009, 03:35 PM
I think the US ones Peter Thompson put in failed quite quickly. I'd go for OE ones. They are a pain to put in so you don't want to do it too often.

peter thomson
06-11-2009, 03:49 PM
It was only one that failed but I now know I had other issues in terms of damaged wheels and very unforgiving suspension which would have probably caused damage to the bearing.

I thought the idea was to buy a complete assembly, so that changing is a POP, and that these were what Peter and co had bought.

Peter - do you still run the units from the states?

Yes still running them and I just fitted one to Keith's VR4. The easiest way to change them is to remove the whole arm and this allows much easier access to the bolts. I suffered severe tennis elbow after changing the last one on my car.:thumbsdow

My original pair are still going strong. They are a pain to fit - the last two I did on someone elses car ended up being taken to a friendly garage so I could borrow their press. So complete carrier assembly removal and a trip to the press was required! Definitley not a job you want to do regularly, although I haven't really seen evidence that the US ones are not to be trusted.

Hey Peter, can you post up a link to ebay for the front hub wheel bearings you purchased?

I have been getting too much info from everyone and am kinda confused? It appears that so many different model mitsubishis share our same bearings. I figure it's probably best to buy a pair, even though one is playing up.

A dude on ozvr4 recommended these (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390042373390&viewitem=#ht_1986wt_864) ones, but when I enquired with the company that sells them, they sent me an email and recommended this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390037771603&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fmotors.shop.ebay.com%3A80%2Fi.html %3F_nkw%3D390037771603%26_sacat%3D%26_trksid%3Dp45 06.m270.l1313%26_dmpt%3DMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Acc essories%26_odkw%3D95%2BEclipse%2Bbearing%26_osaca t%3D0%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1#ht_2351wt_864) one instead? Hmmm... ? They can ship it to Oz for $50.

I just want a straight answer from someone who has actually installed it, and then a link to the cheapest one on ebay, and then I will buy it. It sounds like from the previous posts u r an expert at it. :) So I thought I'd ask u. Thanks mate for your help.

Hey guys! Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead! But I went to post up about wheel bearings and this thread popped up.
Originally i was looking for 4 new wheel bearings (front and rear) but after reading this post and having a little look around online, i see that you can get two complete new front hubs for pretty cheap! So figured it might be worth changing all four hubs instead of just the bearings. What are peoples thoughts? If I am to go down that route, are there any particular hubs i should be looking for? I looked for the seller Nick suggested, but it seems the seller is no longer around. I found these (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chrysler-Dodge-Mitsubishi-Front-Wheel-Bearing-Hub-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem35ade4c328QQitemZ23055 0717224QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccesso ries) but weren't sure if they are suitable? Also still need to find some rear hubs, but am currently talking to a member about those, so will see what happens.

Cheers!

Awesome! Thanks for confirming Nick! Will get those ordered =) Just need to find some rear wheel bearings or hubs depending on price! If anyone knows of anywhere feel free to say so :P

I understand that AWD Eclipses from the same years have the same rear hubs. Also some evos have the same rear hubs too. I haven't seen a really good source at good prices though. Be careful if looking in the US, as most Eclipses are FWD meaning the rear hubs won't fit.

IIRC, also those Evo 4 and 5 will fit.

Cheers Swinks! I actually stumbled across this post using the search to begin with :P Your post must have been the second in the list, hehe. Thank you for the link though! Its because of guys like yourself these forums are a life saver! Will get those ordered tonight =D I assume that these hubs would be okay for the VR4's? (http://tinyurl.com/62d3brq) 3 wheel bearings have gone so might as well replace all around and found complete hubs for a decent price. Just want to make sure they will do the job before i hit buy XP

Guys,

I can't seem to find "best suspension" on Ebay, is there a different name they go under these days? I found World Suspension, is that it?

Could someone confirm that these are suitable too?

Hi guys.

I'm looking to pick up some rears.. the fronts I can see linked above, anyone know if you can fit / have tried some rear hubs?

Thinking this?

Check out Swinks post just above, #82. The ones you have linked to look like bearings only, not hubs.

You are correct that it is bearing only.

My bearing matches the one that Swinks posted, his hub URL is now 404 unfortunately as the way things go with most of these old eBay links.


However trolling the link he found I found this article, very helpful:

OK I have gone ahead and purchased the following through this supplier:
http://www.primechoiceautoparts.com/p-15946-10598hub-assembly.aspx

Related ebay listing including compatibility notes for lancer/eclipse:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180693103285

Hopefully I have not made a mistake :-) They do not offer international shipping, however domestic shipping is free and I am using my www.ship2me.com mail forwarding service - which I use quite a bit.

I estimate it will cost me AUD $100 to forward the package on.. will find out when it arrives at ship2me and they quote me.
Will update if I ended up with the correct part.. had trouble finding parts for sale with the listed Temkin part numbers etc.

OK I clarified with the supplier, despite the description as "Hub Assembly", and the photo showing a hub.. this item is only the bearing.. so I have cancelled that order and will probably just ordering bearings only from someone thatl ship straight to australia.
