turbosubarubrat Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Sounds like napa F'ed you over. There is 2 different axles. Turbo and non turbo. The cups for the transmission on the turbos have larger stub shafts with a 25 spline while non turbos have smaller 23 spline shafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soopsoop Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 thanks that helps a lot i just replaced the lower ball joints and brake pads and did a tuneup before the axle broke, wanted to change one put she wanted both changed lost one axle somewhere (stolen,bad neighborhood),took the other one out to change because it had no boot got screwed over by napa(they couldn't or wouldn't find it on there computer). now i get to change the brake parts including the calipers and hoses. only need them on one side but will change both to be safe. use to have a 91 sub legacy just before they went awd bought it for 300 bocks because i was told it had a bad tranny only had one gear in an auto found out it was the tranny brain box 5 bucks at pull and save did a tune up,new timing belt,new shocks and struts ran smooth and quiet.was driving through spokane got t boned by a woman on the cell phone. man i miss that car.
