Pnwea81berk Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) So i have a lifted subaru and i tend to blow them up. I took that in mind when I lifted it. But is there bullet proof one that can stand the abuse. I'd love to later on and go soild axle swap it.

idosubaru Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 are you blowing OEM axles or aftermarkets? which joint is blowing, front/rear/inner/outer? OEM > aftermarket. try a used OEM axle if you haven't yet or only blown one OEM axle (maybe it was previously abused) i've installed new aftermarket axles that had no issues on a different subaru in lifted Subaru's and they clicked and clattered. installed them back in a non-lifted Subaru and they worked fine. Marshall of FWE in Denver Colorado builds good axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnwea81berk Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 It was the stock ones when I bought the car. Turns out no one carries the rear cv axles and you can't get even subaru parts. I blew up right there on the hub rear driver. I've got an 85 gl with same gearing. Will those work with mine? I'm gonna call that guy tomorrow to see what he could do.

Scott in Bellingham Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 what year and models your car , EA81 or EA82 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnwea81berk Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 1983 gl wagon ea81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in Bellingham Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Your model ea81 has weak cups they are shorter and weaker then the ea82 style, you can make a hybrid axle with the ea82 ends and the ea81 shafts, that's if the spline counts the same, is it the rear cups that split ?

Pnwea81berk Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Yeah the cup split apart. And ill see if i can make a hybrid. I've got matching rear ends ill look to see if the spline counts it same on the ends. Isnt it great subarus like legos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just4Fun Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 This looks like an expensive option. http://www.rcvperformance.com/custom-axles.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Sounds like you need to lower the diff to lessen the angles on the axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
