I look at this stuff almost every day at my friends body shop. The castellated nut that you adjust the bearing preload with is long gone.

Check on the rear axle on something like a 2000 Echo and you will see there is nothing available except a complete stub axle assembly. With ABS they go over $300.

No longer an inner and outer wheel bearing and race assembly you can replace. Now you have to buy the hub, stub axle, bearings, and even the star wheel for the ABS sensor as a unit, even the lug studs. Its not adjustable. The nut just locks the inner race to the stub axle.
