AKLegacyGL Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Good early morning fellow Subaru enthusiast I have a quick question I got a 1984 Subaru Brat runs great and that I have driven before but somebody took the driver side rear half shaft and CV axle assembly out because the bearing disintegrated and was pretty much useless and I'm wondering that if my 85 Subaru GL half shaft assembly will fit on an 84 brat and also how much of the parts are Universal going from car to car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhelme Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Some parts do interchange but the axles don't. The ea82 axles are longer than ea81 (brat). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Very few drivetrain parts interchange directly. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKLegacyGL Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Instead of changing out just the axles can i take the whole hub and half shaft assembly where it bolts on to the unibody and rear strut from an ea82 and swap it over to a brat? If that were to work id probably have to swap both sides. But is that a possibly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 No. Subframe swap required = custom work. New shaft cheaper and easier. Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 No. Nothing will directly swap. They are entirely different drivetrains. The whole car is wider. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
