    Hello all. I found out that my front wheel bearings on my 1998 GTP both needed replacement shortly after I got new tires. I got the passnger side replaced, which was a complete pain. I went to replace the driver's side and the three 13 mm bolts holding the bearing assembly onto the bracket were rusted in pretty badly. Between the odd angle and rust, I managed to strip/round the heads on the bolts (insert many, many choice words here).

    I am looking for a replacement for that bracket so I can just junk the current bracket and bearing assembly. Any suggestions? I am going to check with one parts store after work, but I am wondering if salvage yards would be a better option. Feel free to let me know if you have one for sale yourself. I think/hope I successfully attached a diagram of what I am talking about. The bracket I am referring to attaches directly to the strut and the bearing bolts onto it with the previously mentions three 13 mm bolts.

    Thanks for any help!

    Normal parts stores likely won't have them. It's not expected to go bad.

    That's called a steering knuckle. Oreilly's shows them, Dorman brand. Around $220 per side. Rock Auto would probably have it as well. I'm thinking junkyard on this one if you can.
