ooo good point, thank you! I've ordered a first gen hub since Subaru has no second gen hubs, I'll update here if it works.

First gen front hubs bolt right into a second gen and work perfectly fine. I replaced mine with a Timken which is *much* chunkier. Time will tell if it holds up better.

For funsies, I replaced the other side wheel bearing bearing with an SKF since that side was also trashed. Looks the same as OEM.

Now we race to see which brand needs to be replaced first, haha.

So the rear takes 20 min to swap- how bad is the front? Same?

Are you guys finding aftermarket wheel bearings are lasting longer ? Price wise hubs from toyota seem to the same price more or less

The rear is more work than the front. The most time consuming part is swapping the studs, haha

Has anyone tried MOOG hubs?
