Some time ago i started a 4in lift kit from Anderson, but also wanted to Improve my shocks and struts. I followed Loyale 07's suggestions for struts and springs. however the front springs i got the new Subaru Struts for the front and the 94 Ford Tempo springs as suggested. however the oiriginal springs have 8 1/2 in tall and the Ford Springs are 15 inches tall. i see no way to compress them enough to get them the Subaru struts. I did compare them to the NAPA Ford Tempo springs and they are the same. Any suggestions of what to do next to make these work? Regarding the rear ones they will make my car 2 in higher than stock. will the 4in lift kit and this strut change (Honda Accura springs, and Toyota Forerunner Struts/shocks) make my GL like a 6in lift in the rear?

Hey guys I bought a Gen 2 wagon about 80 miles away from Reno for cheap. It sounds/looks decent, but I have yet to see it in person. Once I get to it I figure it'll take a half day to get road worthy again so I'm bringing tools and a few spare parts with me. Then I head south to San Francisco to pick up seats and a windshield for my old Fiat, then on to San Diego for a week for work, then after all of that I'll head back home to SW Missouri. All along the way I've charted out pick'n'pulls with Gen 2 Subarus just in case there's anything I need. It's going to be about 2300 miles total in this old wagon. I drove an 81 wagon from Seattle to Missouri a few years ago and it worked out mostly fine minus the broken window and bad oil pressure sensor that kept me nervous the whole trip. It's yet to be seen which of these trips is the most ambitious, but I'm definitely more skilled with Subarus now than I was then. Where I could use a little bit of help with my adventure though is on that first leg of the trip near Reno. I'm flying in on June 4th and need to find a way to get out to Quincy to get to the car. I thought maybe we might have some members here that would be wiling to help out and give me a lift. Gas is on me and I could throw in a bit extra for the trouble. My other option is renting a U-haul truck and dolly for a couple hundred bucks to pick up the car and then tow it back to a U-haul drop off location before continuing with the trip. If anyone is up for a bit of adventure I would sure appreciate the assist in Reno. Eli B. Here's the new ride, a good wash will do wonders.

I have an 82 GL Wagon 4X4 ans since I have owned it it has ran strong but the oil pressure drops to almost nothing when it is idiling for a minute, what could the problem be? Also the front end has started making a kinda rattling/cluncking noise when cruising between 1500-2000 RPM's (4th gear driving 35-40 MPH) my steering boot started leaking a while ago so i am going to replace it this weekend, could it possibly be the tie rod where it connects into the rack? or would it be in the CV axel / transmission connection?
