Default 08 STI knuckle on 04 WRX

Does anyone know if the 08 STI knuckle will fit on the 04 WRX. Thinking to swap mine out.

Cheers guys.

What do you mean knuckle?

If you mean hubs, the fronts will more than likely fit if you do a 5x114.3 hub conversion. Rears are totally different.

You would be struggling...
The front '08 STi are pretty similar to the 05-07STi 114.3 hubs but I doubt they are interchangeable.
The rears won't fit your wrx since the '08+ uses the 'liberty' style rear suspension.


Your best bet is get a full set of '05-07 sti hubs and that's straight bolt onto your car but then you need different front shocks and possible driveshaft swap.
