Hello!
I have a Subaru Legacy 2.0 Turbo. I went offroad yesterday, but the suspention was so hard and so low that I coud´t pass from 10 miles/h. And I thought myself what kind of 4x4 car is this??? The car has a factory sporty suspention. Is that the problem? Are rally cars modificated in this aspect???
Thanks for your help!!
yours,
jose

Hello!
How can you adjust the structs? You do it or the mechanic?. It is no possible to do it in my car. In the manual there is something about the air suspension that can be raised from the sit, but is not our case. Are your struts the original ones?

How "offroad" are you going? If you are on rally style roads which are usually just rough gravel roads, you should be fine with stock suspension. If you are trying to climb mountains, get a jeep or an old (pre-1990) subaru and jack it up.
This is done with stock suspension that is 14 years old and 225,000 miles on it and I was still beating wrx's!

Hello,
Thank for the picture douglas! The road I tryed to, was a litle more hard but what you tell me about the jeep make me things clear.
(I´ve just read the manual again: no possible to adjust the structs in my car)

Jose, the thing about the car is, it's not a 4wd or 4x4, it's an awd car. 4wd generally means there's a mechaical connection through gears or the ilk. Like the two axles are connected through one driveshaft essentially, this allows the two axles to be connected and rotating at the same speed. Awd generally means there's a mechanical connection through a differential, or a clutch. This allows the two axles to be connected but rotating at different speeds.

Hello,
It was not possible to me to answer before Thawa. Is that the called central viscose differencial at the out of the machine?? You want to mean "differens speed" when the car is in the snow for example, isn´t it? How does the car select the speed for each axle, Thawa?
Thanks,
jose
