ennbenn72 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I have finally decided to start tear-down and fabrication on my 89 gl coupe suspension. I tracked down parts from a 95 Impreza. I took the whole front and rear suspension setup. (Cradle and all.) I have hit a proverbial brick wall though. We successfully got one of the front lower control arms mounted and the spindle/hub assembly installed, but the CV axle is making me second guess my decision to convert altogether. I was under the impression that I could simply pull the snap ring out of the DOJ side of the axle and it would slip right onto the Impreza's CV. I got that information from right here: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/47998-5-lug-conversion-list-plus-tips/ ...and yes, my car is N/A so I'm running the 23 spline setup. I have made it to that point where I'm supposed to be making a "FrankenCV" for it, but the internals are totally different. The GL axle has 32 splines, and the Impreza axle has 22. So quite obviously they don't fit together. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place and I need a hand! Any suggestions would be great! Thanks, Nathan.
