BRZ wheel bearings same as 86?
I need replacement bearings (hub/bearing assy) for both front wheels on my '19 86. The dealer quote was insane, so I took my car to a BRZ specialist shop who says they deal with FRS's all the time too, and they told me they can get me Subaru wheel bearings for a much better price. The guy told me they are the same bearings in both cars, or at least totally compatible, but I'm curious what you all know about that?

don't do that no more!
Reminds me of a dark, rainy night, back in California, when I left a lady friends party, after "a few beers" - in my new MGB-GT. I discovered I was going the wrong direction, so I quickly pulled into a large, empty, parking lot - trouble was that where I pulled in, wasn't an entrance nor an exit - humfrz |

If you hit hard enough to ruin the bearings, I'd be worried about other parts being broken too. Wheels would be toast, shocks might be damaged, I'd also check the strut towers and subframe for possible bends.

Still kicking myself over it. One second of too much throttle and I'm now over 2 months and $1k in the hole and it still isn't fixed. Every day I worry that more things are slightly damaged than the shops found and it will never be as good as stock again. Seriously hard to let go of the frustration. I wonder if I'll ever have peace of mind that it's fully fixed. |

The main part I think would take the brunt of that would be the brace that goes from the rear of the lower control arm to the frame. It is just stamped sheet metal, though it is fairly thick for what it is. |
