I finally found 1st gen axles , the only place that has them


Recommended Posts

I've been looking around for a month or 2 for "New" 1st gen axles for the 1979 Subaru dl that fits the 79 front drive auto.

 

They actually have them in stock, fits Gen 1 from 1973-1979.

 

 The ONLY place I could find one at all is from GSP North America and they had it new, not rebuilt for a decent price.

 

I'll let you know when I get then if they ar OK.

Yea, I'm not crazy about a non Japanese part on a Subaru or Toyota.

 

I would never put an aftermarket part on my 79' Corolla wagon,and it was still rolling strong with 800,000 miles.

 

Had it 18 years and it was never on a wrecker.

 

But it looked like an option, since NAPA said 1979 Subaru Axle "No parts for you".

 

These are about the ONLY axles I could find that fit 1st gen Subaru.

 

Raxles had them in stock but 150.00 each, I wish I could afford those..

 

At least I get to keep the original axles for repair later.

 

 

Two year warranty, I'm guessing I might need it.

I received the NEW GSP Axles, and I was pretty impressed out of the box.

 

They look and feel pretty nice, but I havn't installed them yet, I'll know better when I get them installed.

 

Since NOBODY else seems to be able to get new Axles for a 1st gen Subaru, I guess it "is what it is".

 

They do have 2 year warranty.

 

I'll try to post some pics of them.

I forgot to update this post, sorry.... and an update.

 

The GSP axles fit like a glove, no ticks,shakes ect. after 6 months or so.

 

They were not cheap like a 35.00 rebuilt FORD axle, but seem to be very high quality(and the only NEW axles available I could find) .

 

I think I paid about 80.00 each.

 

GSP provides most axles to the world market, made in China but not rebuilt, all new manufacture.

 

I'm impressed !

 

And no, I don't work for GSP.
