Subbus Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I am a Norwegian kid new to USMB and Soobies in general. I have just bought a '90 Brat with a number of technical issues. This site looks good and informative and I look forward to using it in repairing/upgrading my car. For now, I have the following Q's in this forum: 1. My right rear wheel bearing and rear right shock absorber are worn out. Is there any other model of Subaru that use the same parts? Which? I know some people running a small junk yard and I would like to replace the whole rear hub (where the bearings are seated) if I can find a good one. 2. Can I use front or rear CV joints from any other model of Subaru on my '90 Brat? 3. Can I use front or rear brake parts (e.g. callipers, rear drums or shoes, etc.) from any other model of Subaru? Thankful for any replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankful for any replies. you can use the rear hub/trailing arms/axles from any soob that has the same front end as your Brat (80-84 wagons, sedans, coupes; 82-93 Brats; 80-89 hatchs) some 83 and all 84s had vented front disc brakes like yours. you can also swap in the rear disc brakes from any 85-89 Turbo soob....
