[Will any Impreza Suspension/Brake parts fit my 88 GL 4WD Hatch?]

Eventhough Rob has aready answered, here is a rule to go by without look at the engine; car from 1980 to 1984 were generally EA81s (some EA71s in there), from 1985 to 1989 they were EA82s, this rule doesn't include the BRAT and the Hatchback (not to be confused with the 3 door). There were EA82s from 1990 to 1994, but there were also Legacys and Imprezas in that time frame. It only applies to 4 cylinder cars.

Ok so we got in a big symantic war. Now that is with can you tell me, will the 1990 legacy rear axle fit on my 88 wagon, non turbo 4wd 5 spd?

If you have 4 doors and a hatch, it's a wagon.

Ok so is it EA81 or EA82

4dr hatch? are you including the hood in this count???

 

does it look like this:

 

 

called a "hatch"

or like this:

 

 

normally called a "3dr"

It's a wagon with a hatch

I'm a little confused, and a bit surprised that the good Dr. didnt ask (unless I missed something). Is this 88GL Hatch a EA81 or EA82? Does it have the small hatch or the big window hatch? The EA82 GL is usually called a 3 door. The 5 lug will work on EA82's, but its a real PIA to do it on a EA81.

Rear disc's can be gotten from all EA82 turbo'ed cars, and its practically bolt on.

Ok you asked if it had a small or big window but then didn't say which is which. My 88GL is a four door with a hatch, the window is half the hatch. So what would that make it?

Thank you, that's what I plan on doing. Now to find the parts.

There is no transfer case in a Subaru Legacy.

 

The rear axles arent compatible. I recommend you Pull the broken axle and call MWE Axles via this website: http://www.ccrengines.com/mwe/

What about the Transmission? Will the one in the GL fit in the Legacy?

[88 GL Hatch 4WD/90 Legacy AWD parts compatibility...]

I've got an 88 GL 4wd Hatchback that needs rear axle parts and a 90 Legacy AWD that needs a transfer case. Both are 5 speeds. Are any of these parts compatible?

Dragonlee, I'd like to see that 90 Impreza, it is rare, considering that Subaru didn't make an Impreza until 1993.

Lol sorry Legacy, was looking at pictures of Imprezas.

Actually I have close to the same question. I have an 88 GL 4wd Hatch and want to know if any rear axle parts from a 90 impreza sedan AWD will be interchangeable. My rear left bearings went out and most of the left axle needs to be replaced. Not sure on on the terminology concerning Subarus but everything from the hub to almost the drive shaft needs replacing.
