im still trying to do my wheel bearings i ordered them and they are way to big for the knuckle do you think i got the wrong one? i have a knuckle from a 93 would thank make it different size then a 98? im thinking maybe i got a front one or something, and wat is the little ring inside of the bearing? it looks like its glued in there or something, am i supposed to push that out? cause it wont fit over the hub its to small

93 doesn't have ABS I think.

Remember if you have a GT, your rotors and calipers are bigger. So the answer is, you got the wrong 1, return it and get 1 for a GT/Outback or meybe an LSi even, but no 93's,2.2's or otherwise.

You were probably given the wrong bearing. Happened to me. I ordered a front bearing and was given the back, so it was too small.

i hope its just the wrong bearing cause i dont want to go hunt for another knuckle. i orederd another bearing from a different shop but it wont come in for 2 days, they look the same and i dont think the abs has anything to do with the knuckle just the brake shield
