Finally joined the new gen with a 95 Imp

[()__1337_CRAYOLA__()>]

Aren't you all proud of me i sold my Honda and bought a real car

 

 

It only has 132k on it with the EJ18 it's my first AWD soob to, the interior is minty fresh and the body is only a little dinged up with some key marks.

 

a few questions though how hard is it to do a wheel bearing on the driver front and are there any good after-market shifter bushings because the ones in it are shot or should i just go OEM on the bushings?

It's a lot easier and faster to just get a complete used front hub with bearing. If you want to do just the bearing, you have to press it in and out with a shop press.

 

The 95 has the older style shift linkage. There aren't any aftermarket shifters of bushings for it. You can upgrade the linkage to the newer style like the 02+ wrx used and then you have many choices in bushings and shifters like kartboy etc.

 

On my 95 I actually just cut off the bracket on the shifter and raised the pivot point making it a short shifter, it works fine. My bushings are still in good shape though.

The bushings you need are cheap from the dealer. Lots of info here about those. Wheel bearing needs to be pressed in/out by a shop. One that knows Subarus. The hubs will deform if the press is set up incorrectly.
