Default 94 Front wheel hub problem

Does anyone know if I can use the hubs from 95-00 models?

The hubs are discontinued by Lexus. Kind of at a loss on how to go forward seeing as even aftermarket doesn't show any possible replacements

Thanks

I'd look on ebay if you can't find them from parts stores.

I could only find one OEM used, so I ordered some aftermarket on ebay. Hopefully they are halfway decent quality...

Rockauto has two front bearings left that are made in Japan get while you can. Not entire hub bearing only, will have to be pressed in. (will need a press either way)

Aftermarket hubs are generally💩hope you have good luck. Amayama has the OE bearings.

Toyota Supra used 90903-63006 for a couple of years so a dealer might have them. Always verify the part number fits using your VIN.

I used Timken, which were reboxed KOYO, made in japan.

The new bearings are pressed into the knuckles, snap rings and wheel seals are installed. The original hub's threading for the locking nut are just too messed up to reinstall

can you get a machine shop to fix the threads? If you already put new Koyo bearings on the hub then you might as well get it fixed if possible since the hub is NLA anyway

All work has been done at the machine shop. They tried to fix the threads to no avail.

Fingers crossed the aftermarket hubs are halfway decent quality
