CA Forum Special! Contano 5 Lug Bearings & Walbro Fuel Pumps

[iamtheyi]

I installed then around October or November of last year. Found out I had the play in January or February some time.

[240_SeXy]

Yeah so do I and I just installed them like 4 to 6 months ago amd they really notacble play like literally lift the car and the wheels just wobble it is sad smh

[x_hawker]

^ dang i thought these bearings would last a decent amount time, guess they're like ichibas then except cheaper price... is it possible to press the oem bearings onto these after you start feeling play and wobble?

[jhony]

iamtheyi and 240_SeXy hey I just bought a set for my s13! did you see anything wrong with the bearings prior to the install? And was the spindles cleaned/regressed /bearings properly greased?

[240_SeXy]

Nothing wrong with the bearings qhen I got the they really look like a nice solid hub ,
And yes they were properly install and torque down to the fsm torque specs

[oldschoolsilvia]

After reading these last few post, I decided to go out and inspect mine. They seemed to be perfectly normal as of today, I installed them June 2013. I will keep an eye on them and see if anything changes!

i know the past few posts dont sound too good, but i like how you guys are willing to work out an exchange if there is any play. that's enough to convince me to order a front pair right now. fingers crossed i dont get the set with 1/276 chance of having play. looking forward to the 2 day shipping ive been reading about as well.

[x_hawker]

I also like how you're willing to exchange if there is play; guess i'll be keeping my set! sounds like good customer service

[240_SeXy]

I hadn't seen the reply from drautomotive.com but if they are willing to work out an exchange i will give u guys a call tomorrow thanks

[Senpaiken]

for those of you who had play in your bearings, have you ever checked the center bore of the wheels you are using? some aftermarket wheels dont have the same factory 66.2mm center bore and without using a centering ring to correct the center bore, i believe it could mess up your bearings. i read that from somewhere recently while i was looking around for new wheels, not 100% sure if it's true, just something to consider. it might not be the bearings going bad, but just mismatched center bores making the bearings go bad

[240_SeXy]

Good point but I do use centering rings, but belive me its the hub when I lift the car in the air I can jiggle the wheel and everything attached to the hub moves too wheel, hub, and break disc

[Senpaiken]

oh ok, well it was worth a try. this is also for future reference for anyone else with bad bearings that automatically think its faulty bearings, and not mismatched center bores.

anyway, i hope you get your hubs with new bearings worked out with drautomotive. let us know what the exchange process is; if u just have to send ur old set for new ones with no cost/shipping fee only, or if you only get a discount on a new set, etc.

it would be nice to not have to keep cashing out/replacing these when i couldve just went an oem route the first time around.

i just ordered my first set of these, a front pair for my s13. i will keep you guys updated on how they hold up

[240_SeXy]

Yeah I will update as soon as I give them a call

[240_SeXy]

So I just got off the phone with drautomotive.com and they are sending new hubs great customer service quick with no hassle ill update when I receive the hubs

[nrmskate]

Great. Thank you for this. It seems you really do care about your customers.

My rear driver's side has very noticeable play and it is extremely loud and annoying. I believe my fronts are starting to sound too. I started having play around April-May of this year. They were installed on July 6th, 2013. I was expecting these to last longer, but for $200, oh well?

Hopefully this exchange will workout. My 240 is my only vehicle, so I really hope this exchange happens quick. I would like to be car-less for as few days as possible...

[RedS-14]

These hubs are awesome for the price! i have had a set on my s14 for over a year now.The costumer support is another reason i went with them.

[drautomotive.com]

We have a good supply of all bearings/hubs, they can be ordered from www.240sxconversions.com. The price includes free shipping within the United States.

[alexnumberone]

Ordered a pair of front hubs on Sunday and got them today! Looks good so far, will update when I put them on the car!

[pancakes562]

I just placed an order on Friday! Waiting for that tracking number to 90806 please!
