I'm finding it hard to follow, can you post some pic's?

I am pulling the whole rear end out of my rs wagon in a couple of weeks - diff wont be up for grabs but the rest will be.

If you cant find a setup locally lemme know and we can work something out

Rito mate sounds good

I have tracked down a cross member and im picking it up on friday so im going to put it in this weekend and test the car out. Hopefully all is well and i dont have to pull it all apart again aha..
Also does anyone know what size the rear rotors are off a gx? 266mm??
Cheers hayden

Did you get new lateral arms?

[HaydenGT]

No i just thought that i bent everything before i looked aha. They all seem okay but who knows if something else is bent. If its still not right ill have another look.

I still reckon you should have went the gen2 rear end or Marv's, It'll work out the same price, and be less of a hassle. And you'll end up with the ability to upgrade easier.

But hope it works out for ya

[HaydenGT]

I srill can but im getting the cross member for $100. I dont have tine to wait for marvs unfortunatly.

[Scuba-Roo]

That's how much my local wreckers charge for a gen2 crossmember. Be surprised if anywhere wanted any more for a gen2 one.

Anywho aslong as it's sorted soon.

[HaydenGT]

You'll also need the studs from the gen2 rear diff.

.

I just re read your post
What studs are these??

Edit: i know yiu must think im stupid for asking but as i stated earlier im not the smartest when it comes to mechanical things

[Scuba-Roo]

The studs from the rear of the gen2 diff are longer then the gen1s as they mount slightly differently

[HaydenGT]

Do you have any pics?
Are they just the studs tgat come out of the diff?

[Scuba-Roo]

Nah sorry.Yeah it's them two studs on the rear of the diff


You won't have a problem but if your using the gen1 rear end

[HaydenGT]

I read somewhere that from oct 92 onwards the liberty had a new rear setup anyways?

Is it the same as what the gen 2 have now?

[Marv]

Yeah, there's a difference with the swaybar end-links and control arms. Earlier Libs had drop-links, later Libs/Imprezas had C-links.

[HaydenGT]

Well mine has the newer setup so going to gen 2 it wouldnt change than??

[Scuba-Roo]

All gen2's have the c-link set-up. All gen1's apart from the RS turbo's have the drop link.


So you got a c-link type rear end?

[HaydenGT]

mine have these?

[Xon]

At a glance that looks the same as the gen2 setup to me.
