FLlegacy Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I think we have established that means jack...the tribeca also shares brake parts with our legacy, but the hubs don't fit. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A_ron Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Appreciate the input. Still our best working theory at this point unless you have a better idea. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk It's worth looking at, I was just cautioning you with using the brakes as a compatability check.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Hey good to know they shared the same brake parts. Did not know that. I was just stating something I found. If you have any better ideas I'm all ears. I'm posting things I find so anyone interested could follow along. I can be that guy, find something that works and not post or tell anyone about it. People have expressed interest in this in the past and I finally have more time to look into it myself to see if I can figure it out and help out the community.

FLlegacy Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I learned by accident, when I tried ordering the hawk pads for my Legacy. Amazon told me I had already ordered them. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisCrash Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 How much does a hub for a 6th gen cost? 80 bucks? I'll buy it but won't have time to do that work for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I think $180. GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 If these pictures are accurate, we got problems. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyvt Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hmm... at least with the specs in the pictures we know they both take a 27t splined axle.... but really thanks for the pics. Looks like offset is different also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 It is possible still the entire knuckle could swap in. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahr_side Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Looks more like the STi hub, '08~ Obligatory '[URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2008-gh8-238668.html?t=238668"]build thread[/URL]' Increased capacity to 2.7 liters, still turbo, but no longer need spark plugs.

A_A_ron Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 If these pictures are accurate, we got problems. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk You're, looking at a front and a rear. The fronts have that trapezoidal looking bolt pattern. The rears appear to be a a rectangle but the one I measured for 5th gen is slightly off. Pictures to come.

FLlegacy Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Is the flange just pressed into the bearing? I think that is our best bet to a conversion. The bearings I have seen for the 5x114.3 appear to have a larger OD. But the flange appears to be 2in regardless.

A_A_ron Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 It is possible still the entire knuckle could swap in. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk We are considering that. It will be much harder to get knuckles. Only option could be scrap yards. This also adds some complexity as suspension needs to fit the knuckle as well. Replacing the knuckle is by back up plan right now. Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A_ron Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 This could work. Just press out the bearings on the hubs and swap in the 5x114 hub. Will need to find someone with a heavy press though and buy new bearings. Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A_ron Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Hey all, I found a 2015 front hub for $50 bucks. I am ordering it today and will find out how much shipping is. If anyone wants to chip in please DM me and I will give you my paypal email. 5 or 10 bucks will help. Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A_ron Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 UPDATE part duex: The $50 hub was actually a 5th gen, the 2014 year could have both generations apparently. I have ordered a front and rear 2015 Legacy hubs. Total came out to 180 with shipping. I have had two people chip in to help out but more help would be appreciated. I have measurements on 5th gen front and rear hubs from when I went to Autozone the other day. I will measure the hubs as soon as I get them to see if they are close. If they're close the car is going up on jacks. Cheers! Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_A_ron Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 So sad to see this drop off the front page. Big thanks to Zee199969, GTEASER, and mikeyvt for chipping in. The hubs are supposed to arrive in the mail today. I have made a rather approximate drawing of the 5th gen front hub and will make one for the 6th gen tonight.

GTEASER Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 A_A_ron, don't forget to measure the depth dimensions as well and draw those up for us. We need those verified as well.

Thanks for the reminder. I took the measurements but I don't have them with me. I have the depth as measured from hub face to hub face. Will post tonight along with 6th gen measurements as I just got delivery notifications from UPS that it's out on the truck. Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
