Yes you will need to use your old hubs if older than 91 or your brakes wont line up correctly

you can use your old hubs or your new hubs on the 98 they both use the same design. from 84 to 90 they hub bearing is recessed on the back side 1/2" on 91 and later the hub bearing is flush on the back side. The axles themselves are the same but the unit bearings are different
You sill need to use the older style unit bearing. The axles shafts are fine.

Oh, ok. You had me worried. yeah, I was planning on re-using my old unit bearings, they only have about 45k miles on them.

hmmm, I put '95 shafts w/ bearings in my '88 over the weekend, just had to get new rotors to make it work.

True rotors for the 95 correct? why buy new rotors when you already have all the stuff you need to make it work

the rotors from the '88 hubs would not fit on the '95 hubs. The '95 were slightly larger. I don't know what brand the '88 rotors were, I'm sure some companies just make them all the same for every year.xjnation said:
