njdrsubaru Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 are these rear hubs interchangeable? 95 impreza AWD to 95 legacy AWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Part # comparison says yes! 28469FE000 HUB, REAR WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT FOR 1993-2001 IMPREZAS (EXCEPT 2000 model TS or L Sedan, Brighton Wagon or L Coupe) 28469FE000 HUB, REAR WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT FOR 1990-1999 LEGACYS ALL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdrsubaru Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 shouldn't the part numbers be different for left and right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I can't think of anything about the hub that would make it matter left or right. If you are talking about the wheel bearing housings, yes those are different left and right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdrsubaru Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 yes thats what i am talking about the whole housing that the ABS sensor is on and and the e brake hardware is attached to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I think the Imp has Drum brake and the Legacy has disc. I believe it will work but you'll need to swap the backing plate and brakes. Also did Impreza have ABS in 95?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdrsubaru Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 imprezas had ABS since 93 and all wheel disc too in some models the reason i ask is that awhile back i got a hub from a 95 impreza in the JY to replace the one on mine with a bad wheel bearing now that i got new tires, i see that the side of the replaced hub the tire is alot closer to the bottom of the strut than the other is, lets say the side that was replaced is about 1/4" space and the other side is about 1" space between strut and top of tire... which it makes me think the geometry of that hub where the strut is bolted on is a bit shorter. Could that be correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also did Impreza have ABS in 95?? I know that i don't have abs on my 97 brighton but i want to swap to rear discs do i have to find a car that didn't have abs or would any work?

idosubaru Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 impreza's are a real goof ball of a job by Subaru. they went backwards in the mid 90's. impreza's had rear discs in the earlier models....then around 95, 96, or 97 (not sure when) they started putting rear drum brakes on them for some reason? which is stupid considering that would entail higher production costs for a lesser product.

Gloyale Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 which is stupid considering that would entail higher production costs for a lesser product. These would be my guess at why from Subaru's perpective. 1. Wheel cylinder are cheaper than Calipers. 2. E-Brake is integral to the drum brake, instead of being a seperate set of additional components. 3. If drums are standard, they can charge more for the "upgrade" to discs.

njdrsubaru Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 still, if they are the same why do i have about 1"+ difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
