kattz Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Does anyone have any information on what year STI hubs will fit our vehicles? I have the hubs out of a 2017 and just checking to see if maybe I need another year. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creep_nu Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 hasn't been touched in a few years but this is all the info that is on here about hubs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kattz Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 Thank you. It looks like I will have to change out my VA rear spindles and knuckles to the GR version. They seem to be cheap enough on eBay. The front knuckles were used from 2008 through 2021. Appreciate you sending me the link! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creep_nu Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 i dunno if anyone else has done some swaps, so might be nice to hear...i'm not on FB or any of the other forums, so might be a wealth of newer information around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee199969 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 hit up Derek Sousa on https://www.facebook.com/groups/1614599485496235 but iirc, the knuckles had to be modified and possibly also the axles since the splines wouldn't fit.

kattz Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) I'm using a 2017 STI trans, RS180 rear diff, axles, hubs and knuckles... Front knuckles should fit according to the thread I read as well as GR rear knuckles. When I said hubs I meant to say knuckles. I'm not talking about changing out just the bearing hubs alone. Also, the GR STI rear knuckles also fit the 2010 Legacy Outback... Edited November 20, 2023 by kattz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee199969 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 BBPeik did an STi trans swap. He had to get custom axels bc the STi ones were too short 1 My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reached out to him about a month to two months ago to ask him what shop he used and exactly what he had to do but never got a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee199969 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 yea he's been off the forum and sold his GT awhile back My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kattz Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 In looking at the specifications for the STI rear axles, they seem to be about 0.3 inches shorter than the Legacy GT. However, the R180 differential is approximately 40 mm wider than the R160. It might work out. I won’t know until I start taking stuff apart and that’s probably going to be well into spring of next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
