Front bearings

[LegAhhSee]

I need to replace the front bearings in my 2000 lgtw can i order these from pep boys or advance auto parts and someone tell me i have to order the ones for the sti, my lgt is a jbm, what usdm model would i order for to fit my car, any help would be appreciated

It wouldn't be the STi ones as they use a different hub. I wouldn't get bearings from a parts store, the OEM ones are going to be the best. Make sure you order the seals for the bearings as they need to be new every time the job is done.

Here's a writeup for the front too:http://www.scribd.com/doc/43786961/Wheel-Bearing-Replacement-Guru-s-Guide-W-pics-NASIOC

You don't actually need to buy a new snap ring, it's completely reusable. A new axle nut isn't a bad idea though.

Getting parts for this car is so confusing, I can't find parts for the jdm and I don't no if the usdm parts will work.

For the hubs, they should be the same thing. The only major differences with JDM is the Right hand drive, and the drivetrain itself. Chassis-wise, I don't think there are any huge differences at all.

Ok, now that clears up alot for me, i wanna timely redo the whole suspension, struts and springs, rotors, tie rods, one question, what grade oil do i use in the rear diff.

All diffs use 75W-90 GL5 Gear oil. I don't for sure, but I'm guessing yours is a Limited Slip rear diff, so you'll want the stuff that's advertised for vLSD diffs.

For the front diff & tranny (which share oil if it's a manual transmission) I'd recommend using Subaru Extra-S gear oil. Read about it here: viewtopic.php?f=70&t=24575 (http://www.sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=24575)

Thx for all the help

front bearings are the same on almost everything since 1990. Only exception is the new cars with bolt in bearings- 05+ sti, 05+ legacy, and 08+ impreza.
