NoahDL88 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I was talking with one of you guys about custom axles for the 5 lug swap with the NA 5MT inner cups, i think you had suggested GCK axles would do the custom work for me, just wanted to make sure before i go looking. I got the itch back, the bike will be on the back burner until spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 YES! Those are the w3rds i've yearned to hear all summer. Talk to Brad (subaru_styles) he had some custom axles made up on his old wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Check with bratsrus1; he had custom axles made by CV axles of Ocala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suberdave Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 has anyone tried just pulling the cups off of a 23 spline axel and putting it on the XT6 axel? thats all i had to do on the RX swap on the rear. i just put the WRX inner cups on the GL axels. -=Suberdave=- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, a note was made in the USRM about swappage, under 5-lug conversion. Milesfox also said that you can use FWD manual axles since they have a 23 spline DOJ but you'd have to use the Legacy knuckles I think. I haven't done anything like that so I don't know from experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 I could build my own, i have also heard that the EA-82 inner cups will fit the ER27, but i'd rather get good quality center sections with new joints and boots. cause i don't want to be rebuilding custom axles in the wilderness.

GeneralDisorder Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Probably have to get some new GCK axles, and then change the DOJ cup on them. I'm betting you can get brand new DOJ cups from somewhere - maybe call up that place in Florida. I doubt that GCK would do anything custom. They are just a huge OEM manufacturer - they don't rebuild axles, they just make new ones somewhere in china. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 I'll try GCK tomorrow, just couldn't remember if that was the place or if there was somewhere else that would do them custom for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Have you tried that place in Denver yet? MWE axles, I believe is right next door to CCR. Heard some good things about their axles as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
