hi there guys

i've been getting mixed answers about this question
and it really baffles me

someone out there even with a AUDM ITR who has replaced their front wheel bearing, did the 4 stud DC2 have same bearing?

dc2 bearings same as eK?

thanks guys

Best advice is ring like bearing industries or industrial bearings they will be able to check for you. Just to give u an example I had a new bearing pressed into my hub It was 1 thick mofo, some hubs use 2 bearings.

ek1/ek4 dont have same wheel bearing as ek9.
i remember there was some measurements for wheel bearings for dc/ek9/itr etc.

google it.

hey guys

thanks for replying

the whole civic EK range has the same bearing (thats if its a 32mm driveshaft)

went to autostore and bought EM1 or EK1 bearing and its the exact size (even used a mm measure to make sure of it)

so all in all. all ek's share the same bearing even the ek9's

only thing thats different is the japspec DC2R with the 36mm driveshaft (use a bigger bearing like the type-s and crv)

thanks again
