I finally found 1st gen axles , the only place that has them
I forgot to update this post, sorry.... and an update. The GSP axles fit like a glove, no ticks,shakes ect. after 6 months or so. They were not cheap like a 35.00 rebuilt FORD axle, but seem to be very high quality(and the only NEW axles available I could find) . I think I paid about 80.00 each. GSP provides most axles to the world market, made in China but not rebuilt, all new manufacture. I'm impressed ! And no, I don't work for GSP.

I think my Coil Ignitor Quit, How to Fix ?
I have a 79 dl wagon. I'm thinking its the coil ignitor, Ignition module it just quit going down the road, it would start for a minute backfire then die again. Since a replacement for the part is like 300.00. Is there any other external ignitor module that could be rigged to work? I saw a NOS external Hitachi ignitor for a honda for 30.00, any way to upgrade to later parts? Thanks ! The Hitachi ignitor is mounted on top of the coil, it also has an old school ceramic "ballast resistor" mounted with the coil and ignitor. HELP !

I finally found 1st gen axles , the only place that has them
I received the NEW GSP Axles, and I was pretty impressed out of the box. They look and feel pretty nice, but I havn't installed them yet, I'll know better when I get them installed. Since NOBODY else seems to be able to get new Axles for a 1st gen Subaru, I guess it "is what it is". They do have 2 year warranty. I'll try to post some pics of them.

I finally found 1st gen axles , the only place that has them
Yea, I'm not crazy about a non Japanese part on a Subaru or Toyota. I would never put an aftermarket part on my 79' Corolla wagon,and it was still rolling strong with 800,000 miles. Had it 18 years and it was never on a wrecker. But it looked like an option, since NAPA said 1979 Subaru Axle "No parts for you". These are about the ONLY axles I could find that fit 1st gen Subaru. Raxles had them in stock but 150.00 each, I wish I could afford those.. At least I get to keep the original axles for repair later. Two year warranty, I'm guessing I might need it.

I've been looking around for a month or 2 for "New" 1st gen axles for the 1979 Subaru dl that fits the 79 front drive auto. They actually have them in stock, fits Gen 1 from 1973-1979. The ONLY place I could find one at all is from GSP North America and they had it new, not rebuilt for a decent price. I'll let you know when I get then if they ar OK.

Any Chance an outer CV joint marked 80-89 would fit a 1979 Wagon ?
I'm guessing they are different somehow, But would be nice if I could fit the later outer CV stub/joint on the earlier 1st gen axle . Anybody know the difference, I bought one marked "1980-89 outer"CV joint and axle stub thinking the outer might SWAP onto thethe 79 wagon axle LOL.. I havent tried to fit it. Thanks

Outer CV joint Hunt, anybody know the part# or specks for Front Drive Auto ?
Thanks for the info. It's hard to tell about the outer cv's or axles in general. Some lists to fit 76-79, some 76-89, some 80-89. Some axles claim to fit 76-89 models ea71 ea81. I'm guessing the stub axle might have changed between 1st gen and 2nd gen ? And mine is an Automatic front wheel drive. I bought an outer cv joint assembly that was labeled for 80-89 Front wheel drive Subaru ea-71/ea81, I wonder if it will fit the 1979 ?

I'm needing outer CV's assembly for a 1979 Automatic wagon with a ea-71. I would maybe replace the whole shafts if they were available new, but I cant find them. But I cant even find the outer CV joint assembly because nobody lists Subaru parts that far back, I would think a common part that fits a few different of cars ? Any interchange info would be helpful. They put ea-71 engines in Subarus up to about 1989, are the outer CV joints/stub different than the 1979 automatic in later models/ different than a manual trans? Thanks , Chris
