crazily Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hi, my dad owns a Subary EA82 wagon 1989 4WD and i have decided to repair it since he is not around its kinda old and its body structure seems to have rusted. could someone give me the main areas to look at and repair or what diagnostics can i perform on the body to know where the problem could be. secondly, i repaired the propeller drive shaft but still the body tends to vibrate.

STI_Wolf Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 what exactly are the symptoms? if the body's vibrating it might just be your wheels are out of balance.. its also a possibility a wheel is bent.. and very unlikely, yet still a possible cause, the driveshaft is out of balance. without more info of whats going on its hard to diagnose the real problem.

The front end of the frame rails where they come up into the engine bay. The top of the rear strut mounts, they like to rust out. Of course, most of the body panel edges will rust out. Try turning the driveshaft 180deg, the reattach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Txakura Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 and hello Kenya! I haven't been around for long on the bbs, but I'm not sure if there have been too many members from Africa! welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Yes welcome! I havn't meet alot of people from Africa, alot from Australia non the less. Anyhoo, I would take a look at the rocker panels. thats one main point of Structurel integrity. Push on it and see where or if there are any soft spots. One thing, How much rust can there be on it? You guys don't have to worrie about salt (Except from the sea waters) and if it sits in tall grass. Post a picture if you can -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
