Distance center to center of BC/BJ rear strut top?

Featured Replies

I am using a 90-91 legacy rear suspension in a custom application, but I do not have the donor car to take measurements from. If anyone with an AWD leggy would take a moment and go out to stretch a tape measure I would really appreciate it. I need to know the distance between the strut shaft centers, and/or the distance between the farthest outside mount studs side to side.

 

My other question would be if there are any parts of the legacy rear end geometry that could use modification, or is it a pretty well sorted setup?

Would the strut top center to center measurement be the same on a 2nd gen legacy? I have a 2nd gen rear suspension as well as the measurements for it, but the 1st gen rear has good brakes on it, and the tapered spring setup would fit nicely into my available space.

Unfortunately no one on the forum owns both a tape measure and a 1st gen legacy :rolleyes:

 

 

:lol:

 

 

The good news is I flagged down a passing leg wagon and the owner acquiesced to my requests of climbing in the back with my trusty measuring device. In case anyone ever needs them in the future, the strut shaft top center to strut shaft top center measurement is 43 1/8in, and the outer bolt to outer bolt is 47 3/8in.
