rob915 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 ok thank you thats what i thought this thing is just a nightmare to try and order parts for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 It is if you tell them its an 87. Unless its a real specific part I usually look up the car as an 83 or 84 model year as almost every part is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobiefreak85 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I ran into the same issue, getting the wrong parts all the time for my 87 ea81. Once I started looking them as 84, all good. I guess the part stores computer assume, 87 must all have an ea82. Wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Yep, gets a lot of people what own EA81's of the years that the EA82's were out. My 1st ever Subaru was an '86 BRAT. Got the wrong front axle(s), plug wires, cap & rotor a few times. Didn't know of the EA82 models then. Then, I found this site and learned of the crossover years. Been doing the '84 model year for parts ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
