87.5ea82txt Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I just ordered some front EMPI axles for the wedge from drivewire for $82.95 each http://www.drivewire.com/vehicle/1985-subaru-xt/axle-assembly/ I was thinking some new wheel bearings would not be a bad idea either, since I've got things apart. Where do you get yours from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I've never had to buy one. For GL / Loyales... I am driving a 1987 with original bearings. Under 90K miles, though. I ran my 1990 to 200K+ miles. A few others made it or are at 150K+. None needed wheel bearings. Occasionally, I load them up pretty heavily, too. I'm sure they can fail, I just haven't had it happen. I started running these models in 1988. Before that, I was running 1976 & 1978 wagons. Same thing. Maybe I'm lucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Read up on GD's recommendations for pregreased, double-sealed 6207's from the nearest bearing house. I went that route. $20/bearing, vs. $45 each for unsealed ones from NAPA! I am sold on that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
