I have no badges (I believe that's what you call 'em) on the back of my car. what are they supposed to look like?

The guy at the dealership I called said one says Subaru (Rear drivers side)
and the rear passenger side says Turbo 4WD I thought for sure it would say Turbo AWD. He quoted me $23 and $25..

Just curious... anyone got a picture of what the back of my car is supposed to look like? (92 Legacy Sport Sedan)

It kind of looks like a cross between a "4" and an "A."

I personally think it's a 4. The Subaru parts catalog also says "4WD" in the notes column. But Subaru did switch somewhere between 1990 and 1994 from calling it 4WD to calling it AWD.

Also the sticker above the air suspension button/blank.

Thanks for the pic.

... Seems like they didn't know which to call it, so they made it look like both 4WD and AWD.


What sticker above the air suspension blank?

Right below the fuel gauge.
