The Awesome Older Generation Picture Thread
86BRATMAN replied to 6 Star's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
You absolutely have to do a dedicated thread lost brat, I have always wished they'd made a brat on the 95-99 legacy platform, best of the best. Are you going to try to integrate the rest of the Legacy body lines with the brat? -
His was driver's side, and was a front transmission crossmember bolt, used a hole saw, can't remember the size now. But we took many, many measurements to make sure it was in the right spot. I'm going to have to do a rear trailing arm bolt sooner or later on mine. I'd be afraid to say where the one you're after is going to fall in the cabin Gary, those things are far up. If it was me, I'd almost consider doing it from underneath and welding a new nut in place and plating the frame. Looking at my other 97 with the dash out, it appears that the bolts you're after will fall under the ac condenser, way up there.

I can't tell you how damn scared I was of cross threading those bolts when I changed out my bushing a few weeks ago, they are ridiculously far forward, the manual transmission's crossmember bolts end up right under your feet in the cabin on the up slope of the floorboard. If that helps give you an idea of where these may be, had to do the floor cutting in my friend's GT.

I told OP there is for sure a fwd ea82t wagon and a fwd xt6 that I have had hands on, just need to verify that the arms are in good shape. Hopefully we can have him back on the road again soon. -
I've always been told to recheck the lugs after 100 miles on aluminum wheels, hopefully it was something that simple.

If the weather holds I'll be going to this same yard Saturday if the weather holds. Let me know which side you need and I'll check them out. -

I know where two or three 2wd's are in a junkyard up here. Not sure what kind of condition they'll be in. -
Axle failure.

On your wagon with just a straight Forester strut swap you'll end up getting a decent lift, but the front will sit slightly higher than the rear. Not enough to hinder performance in any way, but it is noticeable to look at. My sedan on Forester suspension sat roughly half an inch lower in the rear, the wagon being heavier would a little bit more "saggy"
