Anyone know if a driveshaft from a 90 Legacy will interchange with a 98 model? Asking because a local lady needs a driveshaft for her 98 Legacy. I know where I can get the driveshaft from a 90 LS wagon. Gotten just too cold to be pulling driveshafts in the mud just to see if it fits.

It should fit as long as they're from the same transmission type.

Have you looked into having it rebuilt at a driveshaft shop?

i dont think cross generation parts will fit.

i had mine rebuilt for $190 for 3 new, replaceable and greasable Rockford ujoints. about $90 for the 3 ujoints (i ordered them and gave them to the shop) and $100 labor to install them. john, i'd bet as good as you are that you could install them. i cut mine out and stopped there. i'd like to try a set myself one day though. of course it'd be cheaper to just install one instead of all three.

 

have no idea on the swap - i searched and found nothing.

its better that a shop do it. i mad my 1987 GL done for 150.00, they rpelaced the joints with ones from a ford ranger and rebalanced the shaft. The ypokes have to be changed sometimes. Actually this is common repair so any driveshaft shop wil know about it.

I'm interested in this as well..

 

I'm going to bring one of mine to a driveshaft shop and have it rebuilt with joints like gary did

after 3 used ones i was tired of swapping and wondering when that one would start the vibration dance all over again.
