kiwi subbie Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 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.

Leeroy Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 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.

Subieguy Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I know this is old but you would not happen to have a part number for this shock? Richard ok well i got some rear shocks for my 1400. i hope they fit i got pics attached its an gabriel ultra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBARU3 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
