Steven Romero Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 OK now that I know what parts to look for I'm trying to put together an order for a strut/shock replacement as they are all shot on my 1986 2WD wagon. So far I have the following list: Front Strut Assembly GR-2 - left and right Subaru 1986 KYB (OEM) Leone/LoyaleTurbo2WD KYB (OEM) Rear Shock Absorber GR-2 - left and right Subaru 1986 KYB (OEM) Leone/LoyaleTurbo2WD KYB (OEM) Shock Bellows - front Subaru 1986 KYB (OEM) Leone/LoyaleTurbo2WD KYB (OEM) Strut Bellows - rear Subaru 1986 KYB (OEM) Leone/LoyaleTurbo2WD KYB (OEM) Strut Mount - left and right Subaru 1986 KYB (OEM) Leone/LoyaleTurbo2WD KYB (OEM) Am I missing anything? There are balljoints listed, but it doesn't say whether or not I can use them on the wagon. I appreciate your patience. I just don't want to get halfway into the repair and find out that I'm missing something. Thanks. ./steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 crawl under your car and make sure that you do or do not have air ride, once you do that we should be able to help you out much more easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I don't. I crawled under there the other day, and observed no air ride components, and also checked my dashboard controls and found no height adjustment at the specified location in the owner's manual. Thanks for the help. ./steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Sorry for being a stickler, but with the bellows part, i was thinking you had air ride. any 85-94 GL/Loyale 2wd and 4wd components will work, as long as they are non air ride, the 4wd will make it higher, and the 2wd will keep it where it is. SubieStyles in OR is getting rid of a whole set of supsension components, there XT parts, so they would lower the car a little bit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to make sure I have everything I need before I start pulling things apart. I will probably shy away from the lowering XT parts as my driveway is a little tricky at times. ./steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
