    so my question is will the knuckle/hub from a 5 speed 03 lancer oz direct fit to my auto?

    Welcome to LT. I'm not going to go ahead and say it definitely will, but most of the parts between the auto and m/t are the same.

    I don't think auto/manual lancers differ. But the bearing is a pain in the ass if you don't have the right tools. If you don't have a press, good luck getting the old one out. It took me 4 hours to heat and beat the old one out

    thats why im mainly looking to just swap the knuckle,,i can do the bearing in school(i go to unoh for high performance) and we have presses in the shop...but i could do the knuckle in my driveway.

    There are different styles but they're expensive. But if you look at my progress report thread, you'll see that I used plastidip on mine. Came out great

    plasti-dip is the cheap way to go and it works wonders. i did it to mine, i hated the chrome crap on the front. looks like a$$ with chrome. but welcome to LT, everyone on here is a great help. they have steered me on the right path.

    looked into plastidipping and even if i do that the stupid fins will still be there.so ill paint black and eventually get a differant grill.
