strut components for my GL


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

 

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.

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.

Ok thanks for the info. 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.
