if your shafts are in good nick you wont have to touch them. if they are worn, this will show when you add some extra angle to them ok.. does anyone know if the outbacks run with the increased angle or do they have the rest of the drive train lowered from the body so its at a similar angle to the l...

I noticed in another thread you had trouble getting the outback struts on and then had to replace the CV joints, I wasn't expecting that.. i thought it was basically a case of undoing the previous ones, bolting the new ones in and voila everything working ok. is it going to but extra wear on the CV ...

For 2nd hand? or new? 2nd hand, is that price reasonable? i could only find the parts individually from suppliers (strut / spring / shocks) which seemed to be a lot more for the whole lot. i'm trying to do it on the cheap so was just going to grab a set of 4 from the wreckers & keep each one intact...

i was going to grab some outback struts from a wreckers, there's 2 sets there, any tips on recognising the condition of them? i can't push down on the cars or anything because they're stacked up, so can only really check out the condition on their own. was just going to keep them as a unit instead o...

thanks AP, looks very much like what i'm planning to do, so you did it without replacing any of the trailing arms or trailing arm brackets? do you get any rubbing with 205/70/15 wheels/tyres? i need to get new wheels, at the moment am tempted to get 16" wheels but tyres that would make about the sam...

you need to change the TRAILING ARM BRACKETS not the arms themselves. you dont have to do it, but it will help locate your rear wheels in the center of the arch. ok thx have a look in the technical section of http://www.subaclub.com for info on what a lift kit is. i had a look but still couldn't fi...

this is the only pic i've got on hand- http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e69/never_for_ever/DSC00009b.jpg its gen 2, no question. ok so i need to get longer struts from an outback, there's some on a nearby wreckers i can grab, but what other parts need to be changed to fit as well? which of the foll...

yep its got 14" wheels at the moment, 185/70R14. its a 6/1994 liberty, so thats the 6/94-98 model, i should have a pic here somewhere it doesn't have air suspension, i'm pretty sure thats just the Gen1 models (pre 6/94). so maybe there's a bit of room for bigger tyres as is but probably not much. so...

hey, i've been checking out some of the mods people have done & getting a few ideas, & trying to work out a few more details for lifting a Gen 2. I'm leaning towards a pretty basic lift, sort of along the lines of an outback, so maybe 2 to 3" and then being able to fit 16" wheels instead of the curr...
