Any year ea81 or ea82 turbo will work as long as it is the 4 bolt lug pattern -

91 loyale to 82 brat swap
junkyardgabe replied to tim davis's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
If they are both non -turbo then you can use the rear end in the Brat and not have to change it. And there are a few of the Brats on this board that have had that change done. (Mine's not one of them) But I am going to do the same thing. -

Axles,hubs, Ball Joints Or All?
junkyardgabe replied to djbroadus's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
sounds like you stripped out a hub but if you've done this then you'll want to replace both hub and shaft if you can see the axle nut put it in 2wd put it in gear with it running and watch the axle nuts -
i would try running a 195/60/15 which you should be able to find tons of then around .they should give you a lower stance and better handling in the corners

What size wrench to adjust front bolts?
junkyardgabe replied to Trailduster's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

did you try putting the old wires back on to see if it went away unless you were having problems with them too
