What size roll pin.


Recommended Posts

Ahahaha. So I was thinking, wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to just get an old hub/wheel bearing assembly off an old subaru? Rather than taking mine completely apart and piecing it back together?

 

If you have a junkyard with old Subarus' readily available, then go for it. Although, you may not know the condition of that hub either.

 

But indeed, I did replaced the entire front knuckled on my Legacy after it got hit. I didn't want to press bearings. I bought a used hub for $98 from a "Pull their own" lot. I had my new knuckle in, in about 30min (Even had a decent Balljoint in it)

Okay the second washer was like this <( so i reversed that. and the cone washer did have a knick in it which keeps it a tad bit from going all the way in. So i need to get that replaced, as I believe that is what the issue is. However I am not able to find any online!!!! HELP! and I leave on a roadtrip in 4 days

Go to a subaru dealer. Hopefully if they don't have it, they can get one in 4 days.

Make sure you apply a little grease to it when you put it in, makes for easier removal next time and keeps rust down.

will do boss! You think that is what is causing the knocking? it's only when i turn right and the pressure comes off the wheel enough to make it like wobble and pop/knock. when it is under pressure the wheel tracks straight so no issues there.

Its very possible. The wheel bearing could be damaged though, When you are putting pressure on the wheel, is it pushing everything together, when you are letting off the pressure by turning the other way, the wheel is being pulled outwards which would cause a more noticable knock.
