Lude Generation

Im doing a 5 stud swap on my BB4 and hit a snag with the rears.

The 5th gen bearings and hubs are longer than the non abs 4th gen ones so once its on the 4th gen shaft ive got very few threads left to get the nut on.
Im assuming its due to abs?

So to save me having to get 5th rear arms does anyone know if there is anywhere I can buy non abs 5th rear hubs / bearings?

Many Thanks

I doubt non-ABS rear hub units will be any different Lucas. Quite often the ABS ring is just an addition to a regular hub, so that would suggest they're the same size.

It'd probably be cheaper to get the bolt on spindles from a 5th gen breaker than buying new hubs anyway. They're a direct swap on to a 4th gen.

thats what ive got bud, put them on and theres theres not enough thread. Im going to give it a go on my other lude with abs to see if thats the difference

Spindles are definitely from a VTEC 5th gen are they?

are you talking about front or rears????

Rears Merc

then why is he talking about shafts? does he mean stub axle?

I believe so. It is a shaft to be fair. I call it a spindle

Lucas says in the OP that he's hit a snag with the rears.

yeah but i got confused as the fronts would leave it short on the drive shafts wouldnt they??

Yeah, I had to read it again to be sure he wasn't talking about the fronts
