sump guard for 98 legacy o.b. -other years fit?


Recommended Posts

I was working on my girlfriends 98 Legacy Outback for the first time (I guess we are at a new level in our relationship!) and notice the sump guard plate was missing. Maybe it interfered with someone's oil changing :rolleyes:.

Before I head off to the wrecker to find a donor, does anyone know if any/all other models and years will fit? The hole pattern looks about the same as both my 91 Loyale and my deceased (but not forgotten) 83 GL.

 

Thanks.

There wasn't a 98 loyale. Do you mean legacy?

 

There really wasn't a "guard" from the factory, just an under engine plastic cover to help with areodynamic drag losses.

 

If it's a 98 legacy, and you want to replace the cover, a cover from a 95-99 legacy should work.

Yeah, it's a legacy of course, not loyale. I was thinking one thing and typing another...

I just assumed it would have a substantial metal guard. I don't think I'll bother getting a replacement if it's just plastic though.

 

Thanks guys.

if you wanted to add a metal skid plate,you could do what i did.i got a plate for a 91 loyale from someone here(91loyale) did some banging and i had to elongate the holes in the back.drilled some new holes in the rad support and bolted(screwed)

this is how much space i got out when useing the spacers in the back to drop it down.
