Im swappin WRX knuckles/hubs/rotors/calipers into 97 Outback

[impreza_GC8]

My '97 Outback needs a new knuckle and a new wheel bearing. I got a steal of a deal on a full WRX brake/knuckle/hub swap. I'll be picking up all the parts this weekend.
HOWEVER.
I just wanted to be sure before it got to be too late that the WRX knuckles would bolt to my Outback. By "knuckle" I mean the thing that bolts to the bottom of the strut, has a spot for the axle, houses the wheel bearing and holds the brake rotor.
It would suck to take it all apart only to find that the knuckles wont work. I'd still have a sweet brake upgrade but it wouldn't have fixed any of the issues (wheel bearing, knuckle).
Thanks!

I can't help other than I have reason to believe it will work. I have been waiting for my bearings to go, to do just the same thing...

Can't wait to see how it comes out.

If memory serves the ABS tone ring setup is different, so the knuckles won't work with your axles. I may be wrong, but I'd do some more research before you start unbolting stuff :wink:

true, missed the part about not having axles

Thanks guys. I ended up saying no to the deal because the WRX stuff had 100,000 miles on it so its possible I could have issues with wheel bearings all over again. Plus I want to keep my Outback 15's for rally wheels. I don't really NEED the WRX brakes.
