suspension conversion??

Featured Replies

I am replacing my air suspension on my 1987 XT , front and rear, using KYB shocks, I would like some info. on the make of coil springs to use that are a direct replacement for the air springs. Any information would be greatly appreciated!!andersoi@telus.net

any regular EA82 strut assemblies are what you need. they're completely interchangeable.

 

you'll probably need an entire used strut assembly with strut, coils, top hats, spacers, washers, and nuts - that seems really annoying to piece all of that together.

 

post in the parts wanted forum, surely someone has some old sets lying around to sell you, possibly even with blown struts so they can part them out so to speak.

you may have a good chance at selling the old air strut parts to the http://www.subaruxt.com forums.

 

complete pull-offs form a gl wagon or similar is the best bet. you get all the spring and tophats. and with that, you can replace with a new strut
