junk250 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) I'm needing outer CV's assembly for a 1979 Automatic wagon with a ea-71. I would maybe replace the whole shafts if they were available new, but I cant find them. But I cant even find the outer CV joint assembly because nobody lists Subaru parts that far back, I would think a common part that fits a few different of cars ? Any interchange info would be helpful. They put ea-71 engines in Subarus up to about 1989, are the outer CV joints/stub different than the 1979 automatic in later models/ different than a manual trans? Thanks , Chris Edited August 26, 2015 by junk250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swootton Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 953110 is a NAPA part number for reference. Not available anywhere in their supply chain. I have a local rebuilder that could definitely rebuild yours. Never found one they could not rebuild. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsunrides Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I got rebuilt units from NAPA, but that was 5 years ago. Most NAPA stores offer rebuilding services, probably through Cardone, or like Steve said, find a local rebuilder. Keep an eye on Ebay as NOS joints do pop up from time to time. Ebay is a PITA nowadays. Make sure to use quotation marks around your description and try different descriptions to avoid a million returns. As a last resort, try car-part.com for used.

junk250 Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the info. It's hard to tell about the outer cv's or axles in general. Some lists to fit 76-79, some 76-89, some 80-89. Some axles claim to fit 76-89 models ea71 ea81. I'm guessing the stub axle might have changed between 1st gen and 2nd gen ? And mine is an Automatic front wheel drive. I bought an outer cv joint assembly that was labeled for 80-89 Front wheel drive Subaru ea-71/ea81, I wonder if it will fit the 1979 ?

junk250 Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) I went to my friend at NAPA and he was useless, he was like I dont know,,and I suck because I cant find your part.
