fitting the rear end under a Fwd subie

Post by nncoolg » Wed Mar 04, 2009 4:58 pm

Just wondering if in the L / XT series FWD Subies, the threads and stuff are in the floor pan for fitting the Rear Drive assy, T shaft, etc, or if not, how much trouble it is to fit?
Cheers.

i think the majority of the bits are there ready to go. Although there will be afew spots where captive nuts and stuff need to be welded.

brennyv will be able to shed some light, as he converted a fwd leone to 4wd.

not sure if theres difference between fwd wagons and 4wd wagons.

The rear swing arm is all the same, so it just bolts up. The nuts for the diff hanger might not be there. (my 83 sedan had the right side ones but not the left ones, nothing a welder didn't fix.)
