at 4,200 track miles on the RS. Need to get it done. Any tips?

CRex

Done rears. Straightforward job. Two labor hours from a competent mechanic is about all you need.

Be sure to grease the new hubs with Optimoly as they don't come pre-lubricated.

mooty

done.
but is'nt yours covered by warranty?

Laertes

What's the ballpark cost per axle?

kyrocks

Not a warranty item apparently...

4forme

No warranty on RS. Normal wear and tear according to PCNA. Parts on Suncoast are $1,500. One dealer quoted me $3,500 with parts and alignment, which I think backs into about 13 hours of labor and the other dealer quoted me 9 hours. Thinking about just doing it myself with a buddy. Can't be that hard, can it? Especially if CRex's quote of 2 hours is accurate.

montoya

Done front and rears.

Read carefully- the centerlock nuts are wear item also. Add more $$.

Are you sure, you have done that many track miles?

4forme

Yes, keep detailed log of days and miles at track events. $1,500 price from Suncoast includes the nuts. What was labor charge (hours) for rears?

Just had mine done, need to go pick it up to see the final bill

$1500 for hubs, bearings, and nuts isn't too bad for all the parts. I thought it would be a lot more than that.

Are you guys having dealer do the work or other shops?


1500 for all parts does not seem too bad

montoya

Sorry, I don't recall the details. I did front and rear full bearing, hubs and nuts at the same time. Labor was included for rears since mine were covered under warranty.

My tip would be to include rear disks at the same time if they are in need. Labor should be free, tho you will need to negotiate with the dealer on that.

mooty

thats only the rear

Targa Tim

just converted to 5 lugs, track day this Sat at Ridge, will take some pics.

I'm officially out of this CL ****s.

montoya

Don't forget to torque your nuts! Surprisingly have seen two incidents this year with wheels coming off with standard lugs at the track. Just say'in. And you still have the same approx. time for bearing replacements with or without the CL's.

Trust me though, I would/should have done it before I went down the path of three sets of track wheels...
