I am from PA, so I have seen my share of cheese graters on the road. However, I don't think a car that rusted out would have passed the yearly inspection.

Scary thought. Glad I live out here.

Wouldn't this car just crumble in an accident? You are a brave man.

Haven't seen much chatter about the OTR this weekend. Anyone going to the track event at PIR?

Here is the hitch I have for my 99 Legacy GT Sedan. Too wet for undercar shot. Hope this helps.

I have a 99 Legacy GT Sedan. I don't think the wagon hitch will mount. IIAC the mount holes are different. I literally tried 10 hitches before I found one that fit. We have a subaru shop here that sells used parts and I spent an afternoon going through their hitches, that is how I found so many to sort through. I THINK you need a sedan specific hitch, which I would imagine are rarer than wagon hitches as wagons tend to be more utilitarian then sedans. I will try to snap a couple of pics of my hitch and post here for you.

They do look badass! I noticed the JDM are one piece unit with turn signal rather than two piece, any fit problems with that? Also, what years are interchangeable, 96-99? thanks

You may be right about the Mfg. But I can tell you for certain that the Subaru factory hitches that went over the exhaust would not fit on my GT.

Thinking of buying a set of the glass JDM projector headlights from ebay. Does anyone know if these are direct plug or will I have to do some electrical engineering to make them work? These are the complete headlight unit, not a lightbulb replacement kit.

As I recall when trying to find a hitch for my 99 Legacy GT Sedan there are hitches that fit OVER the exhaust (like the one pictured) and hitches that fit UNDER the exhaust. Apparently there is a difference in exhaust setup between models(wagon/outback/sedan, etc.) I probably looked at 10 hitches before I found the one to fit my Legacy. Hope this helps.

Is there any danger to running around town in 4wd until I get around to replacing front axle? Would I do damage to transmission/diff?

Thanks for the info.....can't believe I can't spell axle correctly!

Ok, some punk busted my turnsignal globe and did not leave a nice note with his insurance info. So I have to go and get a new one. What other year legacy turnsignal globes will fit my 99? I am finding conflicting information. Also, my globe and headlight are two pieces, but I was looking at some glass headlight/turnsignal globes from Japan and they are one piece. Are these interchangeable?

OK, have to replace the entire front axle for EA82 5 spd/DR. What are you guys running? Best price for quality? Mail order or local pickup? Thanks

If you can put the nut back on I would think it would be good to go. I had the same thing happen to me once but the threads were stripped from spinning in the joint and I had to replca the axel.

My guess is that you stripped the threads while it was spinning. Can you put the axle nut back on?

It is looking like a broken axle. Put in gear and looked under hood to see entire R front axle spinning. So I think it broke at the outside DOJ. Never had that happen before. I so hope that is the problem and relative easy fix. I have been having transmission/differential nightmares. Thanks all for your suggestions, i wouldn't have thought to put in gear and look under hood.

Thanks everyone for your input. I hope it is an axle and not a diff. Maybe I didn't give enough info, but it is all I have: Driving in 2wd, went to shift, won't go into gear. Pop into 4wd, gear is good, drive home. Nothing broken that I can see. Did not tear into it or anything, just parked it and felt lucky to get home without a tow. Thanks, I will start diagnosing when I get the time.

Driving the 84 wagon, Ej22/5 DR, in 2wd and all of a sudden I can't get into gear. Pop it into 4wd, drives fine. Pull over, axles in one piece, nothing that I can see is broken. Drive home in 4wd, put it in 2wd...nothing. Did I blow my transmission??? This is no bueno.

Hey Mike, how was the wheelin, any pics? What a beautiful day for it. Let me know if you and Earll ever have a wrench party, I could use a second opinion on my setup.

I like the paypal idea. What % do they get?

Cool car, where did you get the front bumper?

Hey Michael, give me a call when you and earl get together. 503.936.5683

Sundays work best for me because I have to work most Sats. How about you guys?

Hey Mike, I gave those swampers to Dennis for helping me with the wagon. I'd bet he still has them.
