Nah wont work. Because the FWD has long main shaft whereabout dual range has 2 piece main shaft.

If your vortex is a 2wd the rear discs will not fit without a 4wd rear disc hub. Once you get the 4wd rear end you'll see.

If you get it from Subaru.. its... phew... *whistles*
FWD ones wont possible unless you're using FWD only, you need rear discs that will be accept CV joint splines. You cannot modify FWD rear discs as its completely different.

If you are desperate for them, there is a few in NZ. But hard to get in Australia.

G'day,

I got my rear end today from a 1990 L series Wagon

Including diff, tailshaft and rear KYB suspension (not sure how flogged out yet though)


All this for $100 from the wreckers across the street, hoorah for the boss being connected :)


trying to attach pics :)
Cheers,
Sam

^ Nice - that rear end will do the job!

You will need the 4wd rear disc brake HUBS to fit your rear discs to the 4wd rear end. I wouldn't want to ask subaru how much a set would cost. They're not necessarily AWD rear hubs, they cam on the RX turbo which is a part time 4wd...

Keep your eyes out for them, they will pop up - that's how I got mine.

Cheers

Nah, they're already hosted, I just changed the code.

I've got some 4WD rear discs here that I'm not using. I would have mentioned them to you before but you seem to be constrained by a tight budget. I also have a constant dual range with 1.59 low range that's collecting dust.
