i'll be nice to you newbie, you can just take the hubs off a any 00+ tib or elantra. we only did the whole spindle thing cuz the wheel bearings were bad, (which didn't matter cuz we had to still change out the bearings anyway). you can figure if you just get hubs you're going to be replacing the wheel bearings too.

oh yeah, we got the other spindle back today and i got everything done is less than a hour. my bro is lucky i had that car for 6 years and know what to do.
