is there any cars that use the same rear shocks as an front wheel drive subaru 1400? coz ive been having problems trying 2 find new replacement 1s for the 1400 from suspention and shock retailers

thanks

I'll try the guy here who has some old Koni stock for us.

 

Any other 1400 owners should chime in now,please.

 

This man should be at the Carlisle Import Show in May.I've emailed asking him to bring whatever Subaru fit items he may have.Hopefully I should have enough money to make a group but on the spot and pass along the discount to my fellow 1400 owners who have shown intention on keeping their cars.

well i be kean if some 1 can give me an model code for the shocks or something coz it probly be 2 expensive to get some sent over here plus i really want 2 get my 1400 running asap

What ever happened to that young lady down your way with all the old stock,etc.?

I could use a pair as well.

Thanx for that i will go with that code down 2 the shock place to see if i can get them here

quick question are the rear shocks used on 1400 are the same as on an 79 1600 subaru? im still having troble trying to track down some kybs here:eek:

If the chassis is the same, they should work.

ok well i got some rear shocks for my 1400. i hope they fit i got pics attached

Let us know how the new shocks fit Kiwi subbie! When I check my 1400 coupe and 78 4WD wagon the shocks certainly look the same, just like your pic. Round attachment at the bottom and threaded bit at the top. Even the reinforcement plate in the wheel well is the same between coupe and wagon.

 

One thing you may notice is the new shocks will not have two nuts for the top mounting. I think they originally left the factory with a nut and lock nut (another example of the engineering Subaru is renowned for!!!) but this is not included with new shocks, at least it wasn't when I changed the rear set on my wagon. Different thread meant I couldn't use the original nuts and I was too lazy to locate more. They have been on for a few years now and have not come loose.

Wow! Did you clean up the rear suspension too and paint it? Or get new parts?

i got new shocks. repainted the suspention. fitted new old stock wheel cylinders. new brake pipes. shoes been relined

I found some KYB's that fit some chev for my 79' 4wd wag as far as 2wd I'm lookin I think they have less travel than the 4wd 'll let ya know when I find them!

I know this is old but you would not happen to have a part number for this shock?

I believe that these will also fit a Gen 1 rear shock requirement.

The Monro-matic shocks part number is 33097. When I called Monroe, they told me those shocks were for these cars:

 

81-87 Ford Granada

78-83 Ford Fairmont

79-86 Mercury Capri

81-82 Mercury Cougar

82-86 Mercury Marquis
