I just got done swapping out my hubs/rotors to the pre 89 style with tapered roller bearings on my 96. Works great

I'm glad someones finally done this!

Did you notice any changes (even subtle)? The tapered bearing should be much much more stable under torsional loads, which should (in theory) result in a more stable front end and less deflection.

There are two pictures of rotors, the top picture is a composite rotor and the bottom picture is a cast rotor.



VS

i also noticed that they make a cast verstion of the composite

I must have replacement parts in my 89 because it had ball bearings... so if i want to use 90 and up hubs what else would i need????

1990 or newer outer knuckles, calipers, and rotors.
