Half shaft questions
erik litchy replied to [HTi]Johnson's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
maybe just stiffer springs and the KYB bumpstops (they are lot stiffer than stock) http://www.bilstein.com/html/applications/9100/index.htm scroll over to the bottom where it talks about the bump stop too bad its not practical to fit that to a car -
Half shaft questions

no. the kind with a top and bottom control arm is a little better. just as long as they are designed for the purpuse, the longer the control arms the more the travel. -

id only use that kind in the rear. they arent suitable for front unless you like to feel of the u joints when your turning. -
i dont think its worth trying to fix these. one off a newer subaru will fit fine if you have a ea82 type car.

limited by balljoint angle, strut length, need camber plates to do a proper alinment, camber changes through out its travel. sounds limited or compromised to me. -

my 92 loyale stopped running
erik litchy replied to johndear's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
yes never go there again. this engine is called non interference so the cam can freely rotate with the pistons in any position without damage. all you really need to to is change the belts and perhaps matinence things like seals and whatever is leaking. the oil pump seals are a good thing to replace while you have everything off. -

you sound like you have some ambitous plans, at this point have you considered getting a more off road freindly vehicle? maybe an ATV? im not trying to discourage you but you may find that the strut style suspension has its limitations. -

vinegar will dissolve most of the sediment, but the best thing is proper matinence.

all you need to do is change the compressor oil (it absorbs moisture) and the dryer. use the oil for the 134a since your changing it anyway.
