DuraGo29596008 Front Wheel Hub Kit

Poorly fit product, the hub and bearing went together fine, however... On installing it the position of the hub turned out 3/16" off. This complicated the process and cost me the price of a new abs sensor as well as a lot of time to diagnose what exactly was wrong. Because of the 3"16" offset the brakes were off enough that it was causing the brake caliper to be positioned in such a manner that the brakes were also out of alignment, causing them to be fully locked up, hence the hub and rotor were unable to be rotated. I was able to make it functional by installing some shim's to line up the rotor. The abs sensor will also need to be shimed on installation or again completely ruin it. So! Bad fit causing damage to the braking system, costing me the price of an abs sensor and a day of diagnosis to convince myself this was a poorly fit part. In terms of fit and function it caused me to spend twice the money as buying the proper fit and function.My advice, remove your existing hub and bearing and measure the size in relationship to the new one. 3/16" is huge and will cause a complete failure of function. The other thing you can do is order the part from another seller as this one seems to have issues with either size or application.

The components of this kit did not come preassembled; however, the hubs still need to be machine-pressed into the knuckle prior to installation, so preassembly doesn't allow for a "bolt-on" installation anyway. Shop prices in Seattle might be a little higher than the national average; pressing all components together and then pressing the completed assembly into the knuckle cost just under $200 with tax, if that helps with your budgeting.

02 outback wagon perfect fitment, pressed in as it should, you'll need inner & outer seals for complete good job, I used national seals (by mogal) good fitment better price. One comment, if you're new to job ( pressing bearings&races) always press on race never bearing. Well that's my two cents, good product if installed correctly. Thanks Bill in W.V. Update Nov 1st. 2018 all is well and no vibrations or noise. Thanks

good fit and seems like a quality product. any worry I have is that the bearings { as I understand from service school ] should have grease is supposed to completely penetrate the bearing . the ones I got were only partly penetrated . I have no complaint but a shade tree mechanic if installed as I got them may not get proper service life. but I may be wrong. its possible that its correct as recived.

This hub solved a number of issues: spongy brakes, sketchy steering, imprecise steering and handling as well as a loud humming. Simple repair. The steering knuckle comes of in about ten minutes, then take it to a shop to have the old hub and bearing pressed out and the new ones pressed in. I found a guy with a press that did for only forty bucks. Should have done both sides. This isn't much harder than a brake job, and easier than replacing the axle. Just make sure you note the position of the upper strut bolt. It's tapered, so mark it so you can put it back in the same position.

I was not pleased with this product. Amazon's vehicle fitment guide stated this bearing set fits Subaru products. Specifically, my 2004 Outback. The Wheel Hub, Axle nut and retainer clip all were the right parts and fit. Unfortunately the bearing was the wrong size and caused a lot of wasted effort in the pressing process. the bearing was too large and would never fit into the steering knuckle. I had to go to a local auto parts store to get the right bearing and install. the Hub is of good quality, but I do not recommend others get this set. purchase the dura hub separately and get a Japanese bearing engineered for the right OEM applications. 2.83" OD not the 2.9" OD bearing sent in this kit.

The company is good too work withAnd good price on the parts

awesome deal for the whole kit. I would highly suggest buying the inner and outer hub seal at the same time as this. The outer seal gets damaged when removing the bearing.
