However I think he is asking of the STi wheel hub and wheel bearing work on the SVX. This is something I've been curious about also seeing as we use the same 190mm parking brake assembly and can direct bolt the STi rear CV shafts in. It would be interesting to cross reference the rear hub and bearing part numbers between the two.
Ah right. For some reason I was thinking that the STi bearings were the bolt-in variety, but that's the fronts only. It wouldn't be too hard to figure out, just need some measurements to confirm. Does anyone have a bearing out that they could take a few dimensions off of?
