V1 Donor bearing hub

[barichuk]

The donor hubs from the back for the front have some kind of sensor on them. Are they removable? They keep the hub from being installed on the uprights.

you have to remove that abs sensor and then cap the bearring, or order a set of hubs that don't have the abs sensor and use those. They're around $80-90 per hub from any autoparts store.

I used my sensored hubs. I had to cut the sensor off, but the hub still works as a bearing.
Adam can sell you some new caps so they don't interfer with the steering arm.
If you order new hubs, then get them without a sensor, but since you already have those hubs, you can modify them.

How did you cut them off? Just the sensor or the whole cap?

Also available are bearing hubs that don't have the sensor and have a nice steel cap that fits the hub uprights. Note, these are 5 lug hubs.

Where do I get such? I've been to O'reilly, NAPA, and Rock Auto. I can get 5 bolt with sensor or 4 bolt without.

Here is the pictures when I did this. I think I just used my angle grinder with a thin 1.5mm blade.

Went on Auto Shack. All their hub bearings were ABS.

The plastic does not come off. Right under that is a split in the metal. Take a thin screwdriver or a chisel and separate that using a hammer. The cap comes right off.

Were you looking for ones for the Cobalt?

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

In my build log it states the hubs are Malibu drum brake non-ABS, not Cobalt hubs. That's why I supplied the link so you can read the information for yourself.

Correct, If he was looking for cobalts almost all of them are ABS

My error, DS. I missed it. Thanks for sticking with me. I will visit the parts store tomorrow with better info. BTW, what year/trim/etc. did you use?

Unfortunately, I didn’t find any 5 stud hubs without abs. There is a thread on the forum somewhere that details the part number for a 5 stud abs model with the shorter sensor that works with the DF assembly. Believe the part number is also in the assembly videos.

Thanks. Desert Sasquatch sent a reply stating Malibu drum brake hubs will work. I will be going to the parts store tomorrow and checking it out.

MOOG 512285 Wheel Bearing are 5x110mm hubs, just pop the ABS cover off, and put on the DF purchased cover on (lower right in image).

ISSUE IS RESOLVED!!! Went to the local pick-your-parts place, every single Malibu had ABS. Went to my favorite parts store, told them Malibu w/o ABS, and there it was! If anybody else needs, the O'Reilly part# is 512287. Thanks for all the help.
