Are the front hubs on a 200 outback the same as the hubs on a 96 outback? I have a friend wht bad bearings on his 96 and a donor 2002 if they fit.

 

Thanks

no they are not but it still might be doable.

 

the 02 hub does not have a tone ring in it but the 96 does, but you can work around that.

 

the 96 will have the tone ring as part of the hub. the 02 has the tone ring on the axle. so to get it to work you'd have to install the 02 hub and axle on the 96. that will install just fine.

 

as far as working - you'll want to make sure the teeth count on the tone ring is the same, i've never checked.

 

if the ABS connectors are different you'd have to install the 96 sensor into the 02 hub (my personal choice if it's possible) or splice the 96 connector onto the 02.

Thanks Gary, That's what I was thinking. Glad ther might be a work around.
