RONAN Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I`ve had a suddle noise coming from the middle to passenger side for some time. Sounds like a rub noise or soft knock. This morning while taking off from a start, the transaxle or front differential acted like it was jumping a gear. I have not looked at it yet, but it does`nt act like the halfshaft splines are slipping or stripping, this is more like it`s internal. Anyone else ever experinced this sort of ailment??? I`m figuring the worse and thinking that the transaxle is on its last leg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RONAN Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 thanks for the response, I`ll put it in the air this weekend and start troubleshooting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RONAN Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 Ok, Justy is in the air and I`ve pulled the driver`s side halfshaft. Found the output shaft at the transaxle is tight without any play, spline looks good. Found that my outer-splined hub that attaches to the brake disc is shot! spline is badly worn down. The caliper was frozen, I`m assuming causing the demise. I`m planning on replacing the halfshaft, wheel bearings & seals, caliper, pads, and the splined hub. I plan on tearing into the other side now and replacing the needed parts. QUESTION TO ALL, WHERE CAN I GET THIS SPLINED HUB FOR A REASONABLE PRICE???

mbrickell Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 QUESTION TO ALL, WHERE CAN I GET THIS SPLINED HUB FOR A REASONABLE PRICE??? Try http://www.car-part.com Negotiate. If I can get a transmission for a 1981 Peugeot Diesel Wagon shipped to me on a pallet from Oklahoma for a couple hundred bucks total from a vendor on that site, anything is possible!

Esteban32696 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Yipes! Mucho dinero$$$$$$$$. Many parts will probably have to be dealer supplied, to get new. You can contact Jaime,,,,,,,,,,jamie@chaplins.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushbasher Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 just find a complete hub from a local wrecking yard. Its not worth it to buy new parts for these things, unless you have a really nice example. dealer parts are way too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RONAN Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 Finished pulling the passenger side this evening and found the splined hub to be Ok. I bought both "remanufactured" shafts, Subaru OEM wheel bearing & seal kits off of EBAY. Rotors look real good with minimal wear. I need to replace the wedge washer on one side, so I plan on buying for both sides & roll pins for shafts. Still have the issue with a frozen caliper> (driver`s side) & splined hub. I`ll see what I can find from usedparts.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RONAN Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 I got lucky and found a u-pull it yard close by that has 4 Justys. I`m telling you, since I`ve put this on the road almost a year ago, I`ve only seen 1 other (89-94), on the road in the Cincy area. My jaw dropped when I saw them. The guy told me to walk back in the import section and take a look. He was`nt sure what he had, but thought there might be 1 or 2 somewhere amongst the stacks. Could have been more, but the weather was bad. 3 of them are the 89-94 style and the other is a 87-88 awd, which I need parts from. The guy told me $20 for the hub. I plan on pulling it this weekend, barring weather conditions. I have everything else for re-assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esteban32696 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 WOW! Great find! You might consider buying one of the newer ones & taking it home, for a parts car. [ if cheap enough] after awhile, they will send these cars to the crusher & they will be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RONAN Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 If I could use the newer ones, I would, but parts on the 89-94 models don`t interchange with my 87-88 model as far as I know??? Or do they??? If this monsoon like weather lets up, I`m going to get the hub I need for my Justy and check out all of the Scoobys on their site. I`m still in search of the "holy grail" 3:90lsd for my Loyale wagon. I already have a spare 3:70lsd that I`m planning on doing the conversion with an open 3:90.

RONAN Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Thanxxx for the help, the Justy is "road-worthy" again!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esteban32696 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 GREAT to see you got it going again,,, at a good price, too. Not too many parts from the old Justy fit the newer ones, especially body parts.An older parts car would be good for you. I have a '94 Justy, now, but drove an '88 for years . I sold it to a neighbor. When I sold it to him, 2 years ago, it had over 240,000 miles on it & he still drives it everyday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
