soopsoop Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 i tried to take my ball joint out of my 88 dl sw the other day as it was froze solid and the damn bolt broke on me, i finally got the bolt drilled out but had to use a pipe wrench to break the rusty ball joint loose,well i finally got it out but the socket where it was is totally fobar ,rusty and totally nasty,new spndles or hubs depending on what you call them cost about 180 to 200 bucks at the discout places what other years and models will interchange with this vehicle it is an 88dl wagon with push button 4wd and will be my winter car as soon as i get it running,(electrical problems) any help from the subaru geniouses would be greatly thankful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivantruckman Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) ALL EA 82 THRU 1994 LOYALES WILL WORK . 2 WD OR 4WD THEY ARE THE SAME FRONT SPINDLE , I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY USED METAL OR BRASS SHIM STOCK TO REPAIR THE BALL JOINT SOCKETT . AS LONG AS THEY DONT MOVE IN THE BORE YOU SHOULD BE GOOD . Edited October 22, 2015 by ivantruckman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damnsubaru Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I need to replace the hub because it got red hot( no axle inside) so I am not sure how tough the metal is temper wise so I think I will look at pull and save it is only 25 bucks for the spindle.
