Keep this in mind, if you can wait 3 days or so for stock order!

Next time you have one of these in your hand, see if there are any other markings on the box/bearing, would you?

There's a reason the '05+ STis got the much better unit hubs... the car can just generate too much force on the older 5x100 hubs at the race track. Silvio, make sure you're also repacking the new bearings with some good grease so they last a bit longer. Oh, and if you're not running brake ducts, you might want to get some to keep the heat out of the bearings as much as possible, since that's what kills them the most.

Maybe try a different Kragen/O'reily's. They had no problem looking it up by SKF when I did mine. Maybe you just got somebody unfamiliar with how to do that.

When Kragen turned into O'reilly's they stopped carrying the SKF brand of bearings. I believe they now carry National, but they should have been able to interchange the SKF part number.

Dude, the Nissan, SKF and Timken bearings are all over the web for under $40 and any half decent parts supplier should be able to source any of them with all the part numbers in the first post...
Search better or find a better parts house. I can't speak to the specs on the National bearings. If they cross only to the ones listed, they are probably the same. If they also/only cross to the stock bearing, they are probably NOT the "upgraded" bearing.

so i finally got my bearing skf changed part number from fw105 to fw176 (its the only one that crosses when i put in the first number).
is mobil 1 synthetic grease the same as mobil 1 red synthetic grease? for some reason i cant find the red syn grease. I just did this job last year with no problems finding parts i dind trust the nissan bearing cause the changed the desing when they changed part # an i hope it wasnt the same case for skf, i did not go for timken cause they are all backorder for at least 2 weeks. Im trying to have the car fixed so i can make it to the scca banquet

Sheesh, glad I already did both of mine. Hope I don't have to reinvent the wheel [bearing?] too when they go out again on me. Hope to see you at the banquet, Dude.

Well I was telling a few people about this over the weekend so I thought I would give some links. LIC Motorsports in the Bay Area (Novato) is making a conversion to run the newer 05+ bearing/hub for 02-07 WRX, 04-08 FXT, and 04 STi. Looks a little expensive from the get go, but would be good for the long run I would think.
Here is a post from Noah at LIC with their knuckle options (which you would also need for the bearing swap) and also the bearing/hub at the bottom: Quote:

I'd be wary of those welds onto the knuckle. Depending on the material used for the knuckle, whether it was cast or forged, what procedures the welder is using, etc. - that can either be successful or a Really Bad Idea.
I've worked for more than one small aftermarket company. Trust me, none of them have a great wealth of knowledge in materials engineering. They also don't typically have a lot of resources to analyze what they're doing, let alone perform actual long term durability testing (think: fatigue failure) on what they've designed.
