Hey, today i started on doing my conversion, putting the wrx running gear into my 96 GX impreza. I am still using the car as my daily driver so decided that i would put the rear assembly in now and do the engine and gearbox etc later on. My big question is if there is any difference in the strut tops on the 2WD vs AWD?
I had to replace the rear shocks while i was pulling the back end apart as they were shagged but driving it now it seems to wander and tyres sqeal around corners. Is there such a thing as a rear wheel alignment on the WRX backend?
Also if anyone in perth would happen to have the bracket for the drivers side rear swaybar could you let me know..

The rear end of a impreza has full adjustment for toe via the eccentric on the rear lateral link, and some (as in the freeplay in the bolts and holes) adjustment for camber where the strut bolts to the knuckle. It could be a toe problem causing it to wander but if you get a wheel alignment done, or measure it you will find out what is out.

Hope that helps,

Tom

No difference.

Matt/Retsej was using WRX struts in his 93 gx auto 2wd.

the strut tops are identicle with all GC8's, although a FWD rear hub will not work with a WRX strut.
