Front hub/knuckle compatibility on 94 turbo wagon

Post by conrAWD »

I'm wondering what hub/knuckle will fit on my 94 legacy turbo wagon?

I slid my car into a curb going too fast around a corner and bent my control arm. After replacing that I still had a vibration and noise coming from the front wheel. Took it to a shop, and sure enough it's the wheel bearing. Instead of paying the $400 I decided to hit the pull a part for an entire hub/knuckle assembly only to realize that there is no abs hook up on the one I grabbed.

Anyone know what cars have a knuckle that will swap properly? Or do I have to hit the dealership and pay the premium price for the parts?

Also will hub/knuckles off a 00 2.5rs fit?

Thanks for the help!

The hub on a 00 RS has a different mounting location for the abs sensor, and the abs tone ring is now on the axle. In theory it'd work as the cars have interchangeable suspension and track width. So if you swap both the hub/spindle and 00 axle over and it'll work. Might need the 00 abs sensor as well, not sure if yours will fit.

Stuff that fits for sure is from 90-99 Legacys (outback, gt, etc) and 93-98 Imprezas including the 98 2.5RS and 98 Forester, as long as they have ABS.
