I think you can press a new bushing into these. Granted, you need to find a bushing that fits. I want to say this was done to Monster Wedge 2 yrs ago. I rode in it before dude swapped it out, and omg the clunk from the diff hitting the underbody was bad. You're gonna have a nice car man!

Did you buy that new from the dealer? How much was it, I might grab one for my EA82 and EA81.

Crossmember shifting, That would be interesting. Although, I had my crossmember nuts loose and unthreaded almost half way down the shank once, as I forgot to tighten them up after an Axle swap. I didn't have any noises, I noticed it the next time I had the wheel off, Whoops! :-p perhaps someone needs to hang on to the underside of the car, while moving back and forth to pin point it lol... I am not gonna volunteer for that one, Scott.

It would if it wasn't a typeo.

I could roll out to Wads if ya want. I'm only gonna clean the EA82 tomorrow evening. You can tell the inner rods are going, if you remove your outer end from the knuckle, and push/pull on the shaft, if there is any movement, replace it. Also, they shouldn't be able to turn/rotate real easy. Think of it as a Balljoint, to easy to move, and its crap. As for your trans, I doubt it. You have no grinding going into any gear, I don't hear any bearing noise. It could possibly be a u-joint and transferring sound, but, eh. I think it would moan at speed or something, considering its traveling at 20,000mph at 65mph

Doesn't seem like a U-joint. I've rode in the car, and it is right around the foot well area. I don't hear any noise at speed, indicating a sloppy failing U-joint. Axles don't make any noise that I heard. Hmm, so why the pop every now and then. I'm still thinking steering related. Scott, I get a pop like yours every once in a while (Not as loud) but it is 100% the same! I wonder if this has to do with the lift? Did you car ever do it before the lift? I don't remember it popping when I rode with ya. EDIT: I wonder if the Swapbar plays a roll in this?

That was a nice thread to read! "NO SHIFT!"

Wow, yeah. That bushing is gone! Is that seal on the Output shaft for the Center driveshaft?

Brats didn't have the large rubber piece that covers the fender lip like the other EA81s. So those would be the correct rear flaps

Ha! Yeah I would like disc on the Loyale since I have 27s, stopping power is there, but not enough to lock them up on dry pavement (Poor mans ABS?) Yeah everything on the GL brake wise needs a refresh. The drums are grooved and rusted pretty good. Backing plate is gone, needs new spring kit and shoes. So why not upgrade! :cool: Needless to save, these brakes won't meet the fate of the ones currently on the car. I am going to paint the caliper and bracket, gloss Gray with Black lettering (Probably clear them after) I will redo the backing plates Semi-gloss black (If you have a better color in mind? Post it up!) I still need to buy some hard line and unions to run down to the soft caliper line.

Cause this thing needs full rear brakes, and I am not gonna drop money on drum parts. So disc it is! The Loyale will get a disc conversion someday.

Where would Subaru get these exact screws? Just some new ones would be nice! A Hardware store has to stock then, yeah? Got the rear disc setup from Subruise! AWESOME MAN!! Need to get everything painted up. Thinking Red, with White or Black for the Tokico stamping.

That is the stock grill, at 3-Doors/RXs had that style vs the honeycomb grill on the sedan/wagon bodies

I think I am going to get some new screws for the interior panels. Most of mine are cruddy. Do they make Stainless metal screws? I guess these are metal screws, They have an almost Lag thread.

I'm just gonna say these plugs aren't important, and put my seat in, so I'm done with the interior! I bought some Brass Bat terminals today. I installed some new colored Led ones, but one broke in half, cheap crap. These are more heavy duty.

Wow, those do looks good in there. Rather plush! I haven't seen a Daewoo in a while.

Besides laying down FatMat and reinstalling my interior on the '83, I made this for Sundays Subaru show! Still need to do something to the front.

I never said you didn't take care of your car, its good you took care of the rust and all mechanicals. Most people don't. I just can't stand scratched/dirty windows, and leaky lights, pet peeve if you will lol. I am glad we don't have inspection or emissions testing in WI. I am kinda shocked you can have a lifted Subaru with inspection, since in their eyes its an unsafe homemade alteration. I heard there was some country, that it is illegal to do anything to your car, that did not come factory. Not even larger wheels/tires.

Please, don't give Scott anymore ideas before the Subaru show... :cool:

And this is the reason there are so many sh*tty Subarus (All cars in general) on the road (No personal offense) People just don't care enough now days.

Oh man, if there is one thing I can not tolerate at all, its Water or defects with lights! I am a super stickler when it comes to Lights and windows, they havew to be perfect!

Alright, everything is back in, for the interior, minus the passenger and rear seat. Everything seems to work, Power windows, Door warning lights, Dome Light. Although I still have no idea what these are for? Are these for a factory option I don't have? I don't want to put the passenger seat in, until I know what they are. I kinda forgot how cramped this car is, compared to the EA82, wow.

It is a matter of opinion, I think it looks good. Its Trashwagon13, its supposed to be funky

Tom, I forgot I had that picture! Now I see how everything goes. Hood release first, then the long power windeo unit is turn horizontal and faces the firewall, then the little black box mounts vertical. Bennie, I have no idea what the little box is for. I have a different box for the windows, so I dunno. As for the kick panel, it is not free on these EA81s like it is on the L-series. You have to unbolt all this crap to remove the cover. Cheers!

That driveshaft looks bad rump roast! Now I want to get mine rebuilt. How much did it cost about? As for the clunking, I would check the rear axles first and the Axle stubs on the diff, check for any excessive amount of play in those. You would pull the rear cover off, and check things out inside. Tug on the pinion and see if the carriage bearings are good, no play. Check teeth ect. You can use RTV Black on the cover for reassembly.
