Clear signals?Do you mean the indicater lenses?If so they are factory clear with a amber bulb.

215/70 16 fit with no cutting. Could go bigger again though plastic trimming woul be required.The later gen one in the pic above is running 225/70 16 No steeering is no problem.The pitch rod needs to be lengthened,i had some spare ea ones which i cut to the right length so it looks factory. The only prob re brakes was i pulled a abs sensor plug when lifting.Unclipped from the holder and plugged back in its fine.

Not the best pic .Tyres are 215/70 16 And for those like lifted liberty/legacy and outbacks.A few different gens in this pic

Hi.Here's a link to some pics of a wrx rear end in a brumby/brat not a gen 1 though. Anythings possible. http://www.ausubaru.com/coppermine/thumbnails.php?album=94 Luckily with subaru you can mix and match shafts ,cups ,ball and race etc and get something to work.

Here's mine its made of alloy so its light.It is also strong i've hit things with it,it hasn;t moved same can't be said for what i've hit.

I recently pulled a ej dual range and shifter etc.The bush in the shifter is blue suggesting it could be a aftermarket one.Shouldn't be to hard to cross reference the size.

I too am doing this same conversion. the parts collection 1/ ej 3.9 dual range,for the cases and gearset 2/ 4.111 jap turbo box ,for front diff and pinion shaft 3/ ea82 dual range box, for the low range gear. Funny thing is i've picked up parts 1&2 easily and cheaply but 3 there seems to be a lack of unless you spend the bucks.It seems most ppl throw em away when they go bang even though the low range gears are intack. As soon as i get the ea box its all happening.A mate who's done a few of these is helping out and i'll be taking pics along the way.

Here's one of mine 2000 outback 2" lift Raised kings 215/70 16 tyres Built for touring offroad

Worn splines on the hub will cause that noise.

Hi.I've built the same setup.The problem with the later ea82 cv outer on the setup is on the passenger side it doesn't have quite enough length.It will fit alright but if you give some heavy accelleration it pulls out of the diff,this happens on both lifted and unlifted cars.The solution on mine was to run the earlier ea82 doj on the outer.I get a fair bit of up and down movement ,its a offroader, and are yet to pull one out of the diff. Another solution is a combination of madza and subaru parts.I don't know exactly what parts are used but the shaft is thicker. Alot of the different model subaru driveshafts , cv and doj are interchangable. Keep up the good work andd documentation.

Here's a link to a couple of pics with ej abs on ea rear http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showpost.php?p=31508&postcount=54
