remarks column in genuine parts catalogue ?

[jono]

Does anyone understand the remarks column of the Subaru genuine parts catalogue and can explain ?

 

I understand some of the remarks but when it gets down to that part being specific to a model that the remark is:

 

simply >58

and the next part is remarked as 59>

 

I understand first part does up to 58 and next from 59

 

BUT where do these numbers come from ?

 

numbers are actual quoted on the radius rod bushes- the 58 being 1986 and the other part for 86 through to end of the run

 

leading rod bush 21047 GA311 and 21047 GA312  on frame 3D02

 

it would really only concern those with an 86 MY and right on changeover time/ numbers

BUT does anyone understand where the numbers are to be found ??

 

Can't think would be the VIN just from two digits ...  .

The numbers come from the build date.

58 = the 8th month of 85

59=the 9th   month of 85

5X=the 10th

5Y=the 11th

5Z= the 12th

hey Naru - thanks

 

I do think I have read that before on the into pages, just must have not fully understood how it was applied. So, make date according to the plate or deeper VIN decoding by dealer. I recall my GLTA was a 9/85 build date or was it 10 ?? Anyway it got the later version stuff so I need not worry, bother etc looking for the rarer stuff bushes. Even though it was built in late 85 it did not get a compliance plate in Oz until 3/87 My other GLTA rolling shell had a 10/85 compliance plate date and theVIN was only 179 apart from its sister. My runner GLTA must have sat in Japan or even Aus wharfs for a few years. Demand and sales were not big here
