December 22, 200619 yr I have never figured out what this spot was for where mudflap is, so I put a truckers sized mudflap in it. I was bangin on stuff, undercoat is flaking.. still solid (thankfully). I figured to throw one in after I saw one under a lifted soob. Is the spot with mudflap something else on another soob?
December 23, 200619 yr It's to deflect road debris and help save the boots on the rear axles. Yup. I've seen pics of Aussie Soobs with very large flaps on there, designed to prevent the boot from getting hit with stuff.
December 23, 200619 yr Author I was looking for some deeper meaning. Simple works. The only cv boot with a collar that worked its way off is right where that flap is now (inner boot collar). Hmmmm. The other side has an exhaust pipe, exhaust pipes flow, air around it will too. passenger side is left a void. I guess Subaru did study the aerodynamics of thier car even for the 80's. othere than the boot, the pass. side was in better shape than drivers. Thanks.
