morf Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 TomRhere has this arm that I am buying from him. Not sure what it came off of; Will ask him. It is meant to replace this arm that came off of my 87 GL. The only difference that we can see is that his has that round piece of metal sticking up. The question is will that arm fit my Subaru?

MilesFox Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 It will fit the same. I think the difference in the bumpstop is either a: wagon vs sedan, or b: 85-86 vs 87 and later either way it fits the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Arm has to be off one of the '88 XT6s, as I haven't scrapped that many other EA82 4WD vehicles that I recall doing so to. Couple of FWDs, but no other 4WD's that I remember. Cut-off wheel will take caare of that "bump" growing on that trailing arm. I do recommend that you swap bearings/seals with this one. Seems you have those parts already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Arm has to be off one of the '88 XT6s. I don't see sway bar mounts so I don't think so. Also wouldn't have the bump stop in an XT of any kind. Bumpstop= wagon only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomRhere Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Yeah Miles, you got that stuff from the 1st XT6, so it can't be from it. Didn't even think about swaybar mounting points, so it's not from the 2nd XT6 either. (So where did those arms go????????) I might have gotten it from Jim, on one of my trips down to his place, he's loaded me up with a bunch of parts. And he has scrapped a few Wagons. I know it's mate is under my '88 Wagon. Taking parts to work today, will have shipping quote later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
