Hello,
I own a Subaru -'86 1,8 GL 4WD, with 370.000km on the meter.
(about 230.000 miles) Still runs like a dream, and it looks good as well
I have replaced the brakes and rear shock absorbers, plus the entire exhaust system.
Anyway, I am a complete newbie when dealing with things such as drive axles, boot joints etc.
being Norwegian, I'm not all that good when it comes to tech terms in English
So, my questions are:
Boot - is that the rubber cover over the drive axle joints? Yes/No?
Mine is broken on the outer left hand side, and needs to be replaced.
If this is right.. forgive me if I am mistaken: how does one replace the boot on an old Leone? Or even better, the drive axle?
I've searched everywhere for info on how to do this, but I'm still blank, so if anyone has a guide or description of how to do this, I'd be very grateful!
Also, I wonder if the drive axles are.. how shall I say this.. 'loose' so they can be knocked out of the hub(?), or do are they fastened in any way that I should know of before attempting to destroy my car? hehe
Hoping for some clarifying answers
best regards,
Nils/Norway
