In a bit of a pickle, my wagon is supposed to be going to the body shop next week to be painted and now I realize I don't have enough axle cone washers to put all the wheels back on! I seem to have lost 2 sets I think when swapping parts between cars.

So if anyone has some spare, I need 2 cone washers and 2 of the big flat washers that go behind the castellated nuts on the axles. I will ring up and ask Subaru dealer but I doubt if they could get them to me in time. I have only this week 5 working days to find them. I'll pay express postage, plus whatever you want for the washers.

Please help!

I will have a look today, I'm sure I have a set spare to help you out

something else interswapable from the L Series you got rid of. I must have some if Jay doesn't....

Awesome fellas, one of you could be a life saver

And Jonno I didn't think of stealing the cone washers of that wreck more than 18 months ago! They would have had to drag it onto the truck on its brake drums if I had. I'm surprised I couldn't find any for sale online, must be a genuine only dealer part

You're in luck Sam, 2 x cone washers and 2 x flat washers. There off an L but I believe they are same as MY.
Send me your postal addy and I'll get them out in post tomorrow!

Thanks a heap! PM sent

Good job fellas, great to see the AUSubaru community helping each other out!

Or if worse comes to worse you can carefully shave the lip off the used cone washers, clean them up with some emery paper and reuse them.

It's worked a treat for me, I've still got the same cone washers on all four corners for some time now as I didn't have any spare and was in a tight place at the time.

Cheers

This is great as long as you haven't misplaced them like Sam

Glad to hear you got it sorted Sam. Sorry I posted in another thread about these before seeing this thread
