    alot of us in oz use the MS56 crown 5 stud hubs on ke35/70 corollas, RA23/RA65 celicas and ma61 supras because they run the same bearings in australia.

    i dont know if the MX32 runs the same bearing but if you can go to your local auto parts shop and compare mx32 bearing part numbers with ms65 part numbers.

    if they are the same the only hassle will be sourcing MS65 front hubs. which even in australia now is becoming a PITA.

    other than that some people have gotten machinists to fit a sleeve into MS85 or later crown hubs and to run the bearings of their choice.

    hello i'm pretty damn sure that mx32 use the same bearings as xt130 and therefore ms65. the crown hubs are what you are looking for

    Thanks both for the advice. So all i need to do is find front and rear ms65 crown hubs? Damn, crowns are rare in U.S.,

    Just the front hubs from the MS63/65/75, for rear you will need to redrill axles or change the diff to one from another vehicle such as a 2WD Hilux. This presume the MX32 is not IRS, not really familiar with that model. For hubs, potentially look at sourcing from NZ. May be easier and cheaper than finding in Oz as the conversion is not as well known
