LSD from '88 RX?

Post by Sir Yach-o »

There's a LSD from an '88 Subaru RX at a local junkyard here. Anyone know if this would swap into my '93 Turbo?

Also, I know next to nothing about suspension/handling/drivetrain. What benifits could I see from this?

The RX should be a 3.7, you need 3.9. Unless you wanted to dig into the diff and change some stuff, keep looking.

LSDs actually tend to give a car more understeer, but a larger rear bar can balance that out. The traction benefits in all situations are greatly improved.

I thought that I read somewhere that we're 4.10

Is there a difference between BC and BF in this department? Maybe 4ET and 5MT.

I think FWD automatic BC/BFs had 4.11 final drives, and the rest had 3.9. Or something like that.

My 4WD manual has a 4.11 final drive ratio...

All FWD legacies had 3.70 final gear reduction

All Turbo legacies had 3.90 final gear reduction

All MT AWD legacies had 4.111 final gear reduction

Some AT AWD legacies had 4.111 final gear reduction, and some had 3.90 final gear reduction.

and I'm speaking of the 1990-1994 MY's only
