March 4, 200620 yr Yea, QMan's got one in the rear too....... check the application link on the page you showed us: http://www.arb.com.au/alac/215110.pdf no subarus, and a pretty limited nissan selection.
March 4, 200620 yr Yea, QMan's got one in the rear too....... Of course, that's on an Isuzu rear axle...

March 4, 200620 yr He didn't ask how do I? He asked Has any one ever. . ? Woulda been faster to type air locker and press search to find the answer was yes/kinda. Has anyone thought of using the search function? come on man.. everything that can be said (with the exception of new models and lines) has been said and/or talked about. if every time someone had a question or something to say and searched for it first, there would be no new posts except for in off-topic. repeat threads are the only thing keeping this forum a forum instead of just a database.
March 5, 200620 yr occationally new items or discoveries surface, but he's right. And i've only been here a few months. I leave for my spring break this friday and when i return my impreza goes into the shop to fix the front end damage that occured when i had an encounter with my brother's 98 dodge ram 1500's hitch in the snow last month. After that i will be lifting the imp(just struts and springs right now, maybe a lift kit in the summer) and and getting meaty tires. I for one am new and will be hoping for all the help i can get when i start breaking items off road(my car is usually covered in mud right now, but i want to go even deeper). My point is, the new guys, despite how much i searched, still had alot of specific questions that one only learns through experience. One of my posts became a sticky for a week or so. So, i have searched, i read the r200 will bolt up for the most part, but the axle/hub situation is then the problem(and the price of the ARB unti.). I want to just pick up a spare rear diff and weld it and swap when i go off road, but i believe the rear diffs are harder to swap on the new gens(i have a 95) than the older subarus.). Having one diff that is lockable would be a god send if anyone ever decided to start making them. So i think we should just keep asking the companies and getting more people off road in their awd subarus.
March 5, 200620 yr Here's a direction you can research. I haven't followed it up much, but I did meet, and see in person, a guy who put an air locker from a VW Syncro van differential into an R160 subaru diff. It was on an '82 wagon, and he was a machinist - said it needed some slight modification to be installed, but "wasn't very difficult, and was just the perfect size". Alas, the guy is a real flaky nutball, and i haven't seen nor heard from him in quite some time. The problem is the Syncro's are rare, and the ones with the air lockers are really, really rare. They do exist, and yes they were imported here to the US, so it's possible that this might be done. If I could get ahold of one, I know a machinist that would probably do the deed for me... GD
