Outback control arms

Post by ScubyRoo » Wed May 05, 2010 2:49 pm

Hey guys

Would anybody expect problems fitting Gen2 outback front and rear control arms to a Gen1 Lib? I have found an engineer willing to certify my bigger wheels so long as I have:

- outback struts
- outback hubs (I believe these are identical to lib except they have abs?)
- outback control arms

So again, anyone expect problems fitting those control arms onto a lib? Same floorplan isn't it?

Cheers,
Owen.

I only can give you rough idea... its very close but not the same, I would say fronts are the same layout but rear isnt - its different.
I thought the control arms were the same with Gen 2 Liberty & Outback? I could be wrong...
Hubs are the same between these two - Lib & Outback...
As you know that struts are taller on Outback models.
Cheers
