If this were aircraft, the part would be timed out much sooner.
Hubs and ball joints definitely fall outside that territory. What items aside from those need to be replaced regularly and at how many hours? Should we have a sticky for things to be serviced every season? |
I'm not sure if this is recent or already common knowledge, I didn't see it mentioned in this thread but for the people who buy OEM hubs, it seems that mazdacomp sells them preinstalled with the correct ARP studs(lists the ARP part number). The difference in price is a few bucks more than buying the studs seperately.

I didn't know that. Good info!

Well, I've been scared into it - new rear hubs and bearings go in next week, just before my road trip to MRLS.

I managed to find a set from a guy in Vancouver that is selling his STS autocross Miata and buying an FRS (which, apparently, has a classing advantage). They look really nice:

Also have a set of the Mazdaspeed blueprinted front hubs/bearings, which I'll keep as spares for when my current ones wear out. |
Still no word on when I'm going to receive mine. :hatecat:

Order OE hubs and press your own studs in? That's what I'll be doing this week.

Latest Carnage
Latest carnage. The center spins freely within the hub. Somehow, the wheel did not depart the car. Coasted in.

Ouch! Makes me feel better about having spent the money to change mine out.

I'm not a design engineer or machinist and have found nothing online about clearances for interference fit joints with knurling. Hopefully we can come up with a cheaper solution than buying OE replacements from Mazda. I can buy a stack of Dorman hubs and get them reamed at the machine shop for less than 1 OE part.
Knurling helps prevent rotation, but it also lessons the precision needed vs a true press fit tremendously. Not sure reaming is even required if one is truly shooting for 0.005 - 0.008 interference range. |

Can anyone find ARP pre-loaded rear hubs on the Mazda parts site? I'm hoping I'm just being incredibly dull, because the non Mazda options look pretty shit.
e: Plane ole regular stud rear hubs are $95 now. |

Are the 0000-04-5HUB-RR Mazda Motorsports rear hubs any beefier than stock rear hubs? Thicker flange, larger radii?
I was going to buy V8R rear hubs, until I ran across the Mazda Motorsports units. |

Miatahubs also has rear hubs now, which is what I have in my car. My early SadFab hubs chewed up their bearings in about 150 miles, I guess some sort of problem with the early versions. I'm guessing they've resolved it by now or you'd hear more about it.
