Lifting up the rear end a little

Featured Replies

I thought I hear that you could lift the rear end up on the ea81's with out putting a lift kit on it. If so could someone let me know. I don't want a huge lift just like an 1" or so. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

what kinda vehicle exactly? I have a brat and I hear it can't (except maxing the adjustments on the struts) but I hear that some of the wagons and maybe the hatches too have separate top mounts for the struts that would give you more in the back

Its adjustable, if you have your owners manual, it will tell you how in there.

I don't have a manual. It's an 1982 Subaru 2-door hatch back. I've checked all around the struts and I just can't see a way to do it, so if anyone has done it please give me a clue where to begin.

Like Brats and Wagons, there should be a rear torsion bar bolt to adjust. Pop the rear seat up or it may be in the hatch area, remove rubber plug to expose the bolt in the center of the vehicle, above the rear torsion bar. It's best to jack the car up to take the load off while you adjust. Good luck. r/ PK.
