hey there ladies and gents

my front wheel bearings are DRIVING ME MAD! lol..

seriously, it's bloody annoying now, i thought it was the tyres
(no play or movement)

can someone please tell me or advise me

would a local 96-00 civic or 94-00 integra front wheel bearings fit the ek9?

or do i need to get specific ones from a Integra type R?

also i heard that 99 CRV or integra Type S ones fit aswell? someone correct me?

i hope someone can help me asap, i shaved my head so that i didnt have to pull all my hair's off!

thanks for the reply

reason why i posted this cause that seemed very confusing
up top was for EK9 wheel bearing
then at bottom was all other type of vehicles too

i just measured the drive nut and it was 32mm

is the fitment guide in the link accurate? meaning that wheel bearing WILL fit the cars listed? meaning all i need is a local civic wheel bearing?
 
thanks so much for replying, my heart is at ease now.

knowing that the ek9 wheel bearing is compatable with other wheel bearings in the civic line up

getting it done asap. thanks again guys

lastly, what brand are OEM bearings? NTN? KOYO?

guys. i'm heading to my local autostore tomorow.

and i need to know for sure that a regular ek civic ek2-4 or dc2 front wheel bearing will be the same as my EK9

i went to check before it has a 32mm driveshaft nut
(so that means it is different to the JDM 98spec ITR)

i really need someone to confirm this so i can go to the store and replace the stupid bearing! it's driving me INSANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. i cant even hold a conversation with my mum as i take her to work everyday in the morning!
 
The UK ITR DC2 + EK4 100% has the same wheel bearings back & front as the EK9.
 
To avoid any confusion , order a bearing from an EK4 or DC2 , they will fit.

Barry got there already..!.. AUDM EK4 and DC2 would be the same too.
 
thanks heaps gary! you the man! saved me from numerous headaches

my mechanic wanting to charge me 350AUD (same US dollars)
i was laughing my head off and did it myself

here is a picture of the bearings
