    Report on the '92 Subaru Legacy Steering Shaft onto my '85 Subaru "BumbleBeast" EA82: The Legacy Steering shaft fits absolutely PERFECT there! in fact it does Not need any modification, nor lengthening at all; so I am glad to inform you that the '92 Legacy steering shaft, works great with 2" Lift Kits that lowers the Engine Crossmember between 1" and 1½" for the EA82 Subarus. Kind Regards.

    Here you can see both Steering Shafts together:

    So I am Lucky, and I found a used but Good Steering Shaft, in a Local Junk Yard which miraculously has a 1992 Subaru Legacy in their inventory... I purchased it because it is in Good Shape, its universal joints are good and has the same ends with same grooves as the Subaru Loyale Steering Shaft; in fact the one from the Legacy already is Longer than the one from the Loyale, but since my old loyale one was already lengthened, the one from the Legacy has the same overall length, without lengthen it... Maybe I'll need to Lengthen the new one from the Legacy, to compensate the extra ½ inch that I lowered the Engine's Crossmember.

    Sorry to read about the blown Head Gasket... But is Great to know that your Awesome Subie will be EJ Powered Soon! Good Luck, Kind Regards.
  5. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    That's Sad. What happened to your Subie's Motor?
  6. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    But a new problem appeared: the Steering Linkage on my "BumbleBeast" has the universal joints with way too much play (now this is my actual part, as it was lenghtened during the lift kit install) After almost thirty years, that part seems to be very worn. May I use it from another non-Subaru car? ... I know that the Subaru Forester one is a direct bolt-on and already has the extra lenght, But where I could find such part in Honduras? ... Tomorrow I'll start the search. Wish me Luck! ... Kind Regards.

    Thank you so much djellum for you Kind Answer. So you have a front lift as follows: 2" Strut Blocks plus 2" Engine Crossmember drop blocks, isn't it? Today I removed the Engine's Crossmember Blocks, and I found that those are Not 1½" tall as I thought; I must had a Brainfart ... Those are 1½" Wide, but only one inch of tallness, as they are rectangular; and thus explains why the front axles on my "BumbleBeast" are inclined in such great angle degree... So, today I went to buy two pieces of new, Squared steel reinforced pipe, 7.5" Long each, and 1½" on each side; in order to gain half inch of extra lowering for the Engine's Crossmember; that shall relief the Axle's stress angle a little, without compromising the Shifter Linkage, nor stressing the radius rods. Now after I already drilled the 3/8" Ø holes on each new 1½" Block, I will chemically Clean them, and paint them in the same manner I did with the old blocks, which was explained in early posts of this mere thread. So since the old blocks were 1" only, I decided to drop the Crossmember 1½" not 2" ... Now I must obtain new 5½" long, 3/8" Ø Steel Reinforced Bolts to hold everything together. Kind Regards.

    A New Plan = To Drop an extra ½ inch the Engine's Crossmember in Honduras became almost impossible to find spare parts for Subarus, (I explained the reasons with details, ~► Here) and I am having many problems with cheap aftermarket axles wearing faster in the front, due to the Angle of them since the Lift was installed; because the Front Lift consist in two 2" tall Strut Blocks and two 1½" Blocks for the engine's Crossmember; I was thinking on change those last ones, with 2" instead of 1½", in oder to keep the Axles as Straight as Possible; then to order online the Best Axles I could. Please, let me Know what do you Think about of Lowering the Engine's Crossmember and extra ½" to keep the Axles Straight. I know that I would need to lengthen the Steering shaft another ½" but I'll like to know if the extra half inch low, will affect the Shifting linkage or other things... Kind Regards.

    Did you finished the Project? Kind Regards.

    The photo of Three switches together, belongs to that "Cyclops" Headlight option, on Brats and other EA81 Models from that Era.
  11. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    Oh My God! That was a Huge Fat Crash... I Hope that they are alright, and healthy. Subarus are Really Safe Cars, better than the Average. Kind Regards.
  12. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    I thought that the Switch powered the Automatic Cover, because it bears the same symbol from the Older Switches that Powered the Cover on the Third-Eyed EA81's, See: Anyone has more information about that? Kind Regards.
  13. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    Yes, I Agree... I've seen it also, but please share the photos here. I was referring to the "Automatic Cover" Halogen Lamps, So it was my mistake for not explaining that I thought that the Switch pictured above, must be for the Halogen's Automatic Cover, Also that same switch came on the Subaru Alcyone XT6. Or could those Automatic Cover Halogens, had another switch in another placement? I see a Rocker switch between the Halogen Lamps in the photo above, but it could be Aftermarket... Kind Regards.
  14. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    I Agree, Absolutely. So, maybe a re-routing of the PVC system could help? Or only a New PCV Valve? What causes the Problem on these Subies?
  15. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    In the Old School Subarus, something similar happened with the EFi Subaru EA82 Engines, and they then sold a Re-Routing Kit for the PCV System, in order to avoid the PCV Valve to Suck oil; let me share a Post here, taken from Another thread: Could a bad PCV system routing, be affecting this EJ engines? Kind Regards.
  16. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    Sounds like a Good idea. Seems like you got a Plan for Mod Nº 1 Kind Regards.
  17. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    Thank you for Sharing those Awesome Photos, Good Luck! Kind Regards.

    Some types of Head Gaskets, needs the Heads to be Retorqued after certain amount of Miles... Maybe you forgot to do that... Kind Regards.

    That sounds fun, somehow ... ... ~► http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2014/08/the-mysterious-real-zombies-of-haiti/

    I meant the Base for the coil spring, on the Shock Absorber's Body, not on the Subaru Body, is placed with around 2" of difference between the 2WD and the 4WD shock absorbers, as you can see here: That is to compensate the Lower mount perch on the Trail arm of the 2WD EA82's versus the Higher mount perch on the 4WD EA82's. And Gloyale is Right, somehow I wrote it Backwards... I must had a Brainfart, sorry. About the different mounting points on the Trail arms, between 2WD and 4WD EA82's and much more suspension information with much more photos; everything is explained, here: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/106807-improved-shock-absorbers-and-spring-coils-on-loyales/ Kind Regards.
  21. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    Thank you for your Kind Answer, and Yes, is better to be Safe. Good Job with those Backing Plates. Kind Regards.
  22. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    I bet that those tiny threaded holes are intended for placing the Base for a Switch, but I am almost Sure that such Switch was Not intended for the Factory Halogen Lamps, because the Factory Switch for those Halogens, came on the Dashboard; as you can see it in previous posts of this thread, also here: So, could those be intended to mount a Switch for some kind of Factory Alarm System?
  23. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    Nice Wagon, Congratulations! I'm glad to know that you finally found another one. Kind Regards.
  24. Loyale 2.7 Turbo
    Recently, I has been cleansing the Plastic Panels of the interior of my Subaru "BumbleBeast" which is an Early edition (1985) Subaru Wagon GL (EA82), and I discovered that there are two tiny holes under the Fusible Box Cover which has Threads behind them, as you can see in the following Photo:

    That Machine Orange, is Ceramic Paint for High Temps? ... or only anti-Rust paint? Kind Regards.
