XT Turbo drive shafts in Europe

[joostvdw]

Hi all, 

I've been a member since forever and all that time I did mostly reading, but now I actually need some help with finding parts.

I still have and drive my 87 XT Turbo and I've worn out the rear (inner) DOJs. The fronts are probably not far behind and the outer joints will also have the same mileage on them so not the youngest.

I'd like to replace all 4 inner and outer joints (or perhaps complete axles) but cannot easily find the right parts in Europe. 

Since its a turbo car it has 25 splines on the FT4WD transmission and 23 splines on the stubs of the diff. If you remove the stubs there are internal 25 splines. 

Can I use EJ parts? Which ones? I can buy complete axles on ebay or Amazon but I have no idea of quality (probably spoob).

Are there reputable axle resellers in the US I could contact?

Thank you in advance and best regards, Joost from the Netherlands

I see there is not a lot of responses, I guess it's difficult finding quality axles for everyone?

Would this impreza axle work in the back? It seems that the splines and length are oke?

Surely someone must've already tried fitting EJ axles in the rear of an EA car?

Rear EJ CV shafts won’t fit the EA gear. The outer stub axle is a completely different design. 

Inner cups MAY fit the original EA rear shafts but that’s a big gamble to make for two inner cups. 

Best bet would be to contact places outside of Europe. Subarino could be a good source, I can’t say if he’s got exactly what you want but he might be able to source and ship the parts you need. 

Otherwise second hand is your best bet. 

Cheers
