webberjames95 Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Looks great! How did the holes work out? Did your confidence beer help or hurt? Honestly not hard. Takes no time at all. Just line it up and fire away Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webberjames95 Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 What did you use to seal it? Haven’t gotten sealer yet. I read butyl tape is easy. Seems easy enough. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webberjames95 Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Did something the car actually needed finally lol. New inner and outer tie rods and boots. First side took me two hours. Second side took me 20 mins. That’s the learning experience. Also I realized I could just cut the old one in half instead of unscrewing. Think they were toasted? Just got it aligned and dang that made the world of difference. Steering so tight now. Need coils cuz my suspension clunks. Needs lot of new bushings. Bushings are fun to do tho.

Tinting the car tonight Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk My '98 wagon started out being the clone of yours, and I totally know what you mean by clunky suspension. We've had the inner tie rods done so now the steering is tight. I think I may go for new sway bar bushings and end links since I can see the rubber bushings in the end links are cracked. On mine, I think the rear struts have seen better days so i wouldn't mind getting some KYB's installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was real wild to drive to the alignment shop. Wheel clocked 80° to go straight. Pulling both directions lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublechaz Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 There is a way to get pretty close in your yard. You need a bunch of string and a couple jack stands or other heavy mid tire height object. Check it out on the youtube. Way nicer than wrestling the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I was in there I see I have a torn axel boot. Might as well replace the axel if imma replace the boot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisty Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 if its a subaru (green) axle and not making tons of noise, just replace the boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webberjames95 Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 Where do I source polyurathane bushings for my suspension for this 98 legacy? What works in terms of compatibility with other Subaru’s like wrx? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webberjames95 Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Picked up some bugeye wrx wheels. Need some work but they were 100$ on newer tires Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webberjames95 Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 The paint is pretty bad. So I’ll likely strip it and repaint them silver like OEM. So much better than what was on there.

webberjames95 Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 Finally looking halfway decent. Paint is 20 years old so it’s not perfect. Maybe one day I will wrap it. Always wanted to try and wrap my car. Needs coils. And maintenance work from here out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo F Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I definitely would like to do some of the same things on my clone wagon. JDM side markers GT body side moldings- were you able to find them in Spruce Pearl? I'll also like to switch to painted door handles instead of the black textured Legacy L handles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
