Thread: Hub differences between GA16 and SR20?

I am in need of some spare front hubs. It seems that the knuckle setup on our car puts a lot of extra stress on the inner bearing race which will wear out faster then the outer race. This in turn eats away at the hub, permanently damaging it. I have seen about 5 bad hubs myself and likely have another pair that are bad but haven't checked yet.

My question is are the hubs on all basic sentras/200sx the same as the se-r editions? Unfortunately, there are no junk yards around my location that have 2.0L b13/b14s so I would really like to bring my shop press to a junk yard for a couple of hours and get a bunch of spare hubs from some ga16 cars. I did check the part numbers on bearings between basic models and se-r models and they had the same part number, but that only confirms the hubs have the same press fit diameter against the bearing.

I believe the hubs are the same. My n14 pulsar with sr18de has the same hub as my buddies' b13 sunny gts with ga16de and b14 sentra with ga15de. Also I have bought ser wheel bearings from the usa for my car

i believe these wheel bearings wear out quickly because of bad control arms

On B14's they are the same.

Sweet...sounds like ill be getting some spares soon



I guess it is good that I have rebuilt my control arms on both my 200sx and NX2000, bushings and all.



Figured as much. Probably a good manufacturing strategy incorporated in the design.

Guess I confirmed what I believed to be true.

Data point:

I shoved some old B13 GA16DE axle ends in the hubs of my B13 SE-R parts car to roll it around. Worked okay, so that tells me the spline count is the same. Can't imagine why other dimensions would be different.

The knuckles from a 1.6L will definitely work. Just have to pry off the smaller 1.6L brake dust shields.

Be careful, unfortunately that is not the case for NXs.

haha! i told him that it was diffrent!^^

Yep, NX's has different spindles: 91/92 are different that 93 NXs and are not interchangable. Maybe the SE-Rs and G20 are the same, but I dont know..

Check the angle and length of the spindle arms for the steering endlinks. Put them side-by-side. If different, you will see it immediately..

Actually G20s have a completely different suspension geometry then either the b13 or 14. I had the pleasure (or was it horror?) of working in my buddies G20 the other day. I was getting ready to take the axles out of the knuckles (so we could drop the engine), pulled the wheel off and stopped......"hey man um...this is different." Here is a pic of what I saw:


From what I have been hearing the g20 suspension geometry is actually better then our b13s, but that is only what I have heard.
