Outer CV joint Hunt, anybody know the part# or specks for Front Drive Auto ?


Recommended Posts

I'm needing outer CV's assembly for a 1979 Automatic wagon with a ea-71.

 

I would maybe replace the whole shafts if they were available new, but I cant find them.

 

But I cant even find the outer CV joint assembly because nobody lists Subaru parts that far back, I would think a common part that fits a few different of cars ?

 

Any interchange info would be helpful.

 

They put ea-71 engines in Subarus up to about 1989, are the outer CV joints/stub different than the 1979 automatic in later models/ different than a manual trans?

 

Thanks , Chris

I got rebuilt units from NAPA, but that was 5 years ago. Most NAPA stores offer rebuilding services, probably through Cardone, or like Steve said, find a local rebuilder. Keep an eye on Ebay as NOS joints do pop up from time to time. Ebay is a PITA nowadays. Make sure to use quotation marks around your description and try different descriptions to avoid a million returns. As a last resort, try car-part.com for used.

Thanks for the info.

 

It's hard to tell about the outer cv's  or axles in general.

 

Some lists to fit 76-79, some 76-89, some 80-89.

 

Some axles claim to fit 76-89 models ea71 ea81.

 

I'm guessing the stub axle might have changed between 1st gen and 2nd gen ?

 

And mine is an Automatic front wheel drive.

 

I bought an outer cv joint assembly that was labeled for 80-89 Front wheel drive Subaru ea-71/ea81, I wonder if it will fit the 1979 ?
