golucky66 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Does anyone have a list or rough idea of what years and models come factory with an LSD diff? I know all SVX's come with an LSD but what other models and years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Lucky Texan Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 check cars101.com for specs Gen 2 Outbacks with weather package I think, certainly H6es with WP. Maybe Gen 2 VDC and LL Bean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt167 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Forester S and XS, and high optioned Outbacks from about 2000 onward have 4.11 or 4.44 lsd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 check cars101.com for specs Gen 2 Outbacks with weather package I think, certainly H6es with WP. Maybe Gen 2 VDC and LL Bean? VDC cars do NOT have an LSD. Other than that, '00-'01 Outbacks with cold weather package has the LSD, Cold weather package became standard '02-'04.

wtdash Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 1998-2002 s model forester,I don't know about others. No Offense, but the LSD didn't arrive in the Forester S (and possiby the Impreza RS) 'til '00, from what I've read. No USA Subaru, except for the SVX had an LSD from '92-'99, AFAIK - including the Legacy GT and OB. The '91 Legacy Sport Sedan - Turbo- (4EAT and 5-speed) was the only year w/the rear 3.90 VLSD. Here's another LIST on NASIOC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting...not here to argue, but that's not 'factory'. May be someone swapped it? Or a unicorn. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
