WTB: 5-lug swap

[turbowop]

Paul (thedsmguy) is out of 5-lug swaps. I'm not sure when he'll get more, so I figure I'll ask the rest of you. 1051 needs five lugs for its new wheels. Lemme know...

I have a non abs setup that I won't be using. I can either press the front hubs out or ship the entire knuckle and hub. Looking to get $85 + shipping.

 

[turbowop]

I'm planning to retain ABS.

Mark, I have a few sets of rear spindles. If you are interested in just rears from me I can grab you pics this week.

 

[89Mirageman]

I believe the rears are the same and you just swap your abs gear over to the non abs part. There is a 92 fwd turbo car at the yard and I am pretty sure it has abs on it but I'd have to check and see.

 

[jepherz]

They are. And although I never compared them myself, I think it's advantageous to use FWD spindles on any car that's lowered at all.

I'd like to buy everything from one person to save shipping costs, but if it comes down to needing just the rear spindles from you, I'll let you know. Thanks /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

BTW, I'd also like to get a DSM ABS control unit if anybody has one laying around. And I need one of those fat washers that go behind the large axle nut on the front axles. Thanks...

 

[89Mirageman]

Will you be reusing your knuckles and replacing the wheel bearings and seals or are you looking to just bolt on the entire assembly? I can fit these parts in a large flat rate box for $15 if you don't want the knuckles. Not sure what the yard would want for that abs unit but I can ask.

 

[turbowop]

I could go either way. If the bearings are decent on a full assembly, I'd take that. Especially if it's off a FWD since my car is lowered.

I have a control unit available. You are talking the computer in the trunk, correct?

 

[iceman69510]

If you are retaining ABS and using the 1g control unit, make sure you use 47 tooth rotors front and rear.

 

[turbowop]

Yeah, I've read all the how-to's on retaining ABS with a 5-lug swap on our cars, so I know to keep the front rear tooth counts 1:1. I could use that ABS module if you wanna part with it. PM me plz. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[89Mirageman]

It's been a while since I worked on an abs car. Sounds like he'll have to press the front hubs out to swap out the abs gear, correct?

 

[iceman69510]

May have jumped the gun on the control unit. I need to check the part number and application on the one I have.

 

[turbowop]

Okay. Lemme know.

 

[turbowop]

Sounds like 89Mirageman has a fwd abs car in his local junkyard, so he's picking me up the abs computer and front hubs/knuckles.

Anybody have rear 5-lug spindles with abs rings on them?
