monstaru Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 You're definitely right that the rear suspension binds up at full droop. I hadn't thought about the bushings having to flex sideways, but that certainly doesn't help. What amazes me is that, from what I can tell, the bushings are bonded to the inner and outer sleeves so they have to flex just to pivot normally. However, you don't have to compress the springs/struts to get them in, even with a 1.5" lift, so I don't think that really limits travel. Also, a flex pit isn't going to compress the stock springs and struts close to full compression, or you'd be bottoming out constantly, so that isn't going to show the full extent of travel he's getting. Northcoast - I like your rear bumper/tire carrier/plastic bumper trimming. I built that bumper and did the trimming. It works , but was based on a bushing instead of a bearing, and I bet is loose now! lol cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthCoast Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Man I have been trying to track down that rattle for months! Never thought to check the hinge side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontoontodd Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Supposedly, the slotted wheels on turbo ss sedans and 95-96 legacy outback are the desired wheels for rally wheels. Alloy or steel? Can you link or post to a picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthCoast Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Alloy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Miles is actually referring to these....and I agree. They beefy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthCoast Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Same ones I posted just those are clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Those are 2 different style wheels. The bottom ones came on early legacy turbos as well as early Outbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Same ones I posted just those are clean. Negative. The ones you posted are from a 98-99 Outback. The ones Miles and I are referring to are from a '91-93 Turbo Legacy and '96-97 Outback. Better pictures of both from RockAuto. These are the really tough ones: Edited May 20, 2014 by Numbchux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthCoast Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Gotcha... those are the ones I was trying to find a complete set of but ended up with the other ones. They're close in quality but I prefer the other ones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
