GD lateral links on a 94 L wagon?

Post by coffeeman885 »

I am trying to source the needed parts to put a rear sway on a 94 L and I have possibly ran across parts from a '04 WRX. I know that the mounts will work but will the lateral links and endlinks work too? I haven't been able to find a solid answer yet. I thought I had but apparently I was imagining that thread because I can't find it again.

wrx sedan links are longer than your stock ones. will result in a wider rear track, excess camber, and possibly popping the axles out of the diff. The 02-07 stuff works as long as it's from a wagon or non-turbo.

Are you sure the sedan is not just wider in front? I have been running just the rear lateral links from a WRX sedan on my 91 SS for a few years and they were identical in length to the stock ones.

The part #'s are different between sedan & wagon, and Whiteline has different part #'s for the sedan & wagon adjustable link kits, KTA108 for wagon vs. KTA109 for sedan.

You sure you got linkes from a sedan?

It has been a few years since I got them. The junkyard was not the u-pull type of yard and the guy that pulled them said it was from a sedan.....maybe it was totalled and he didn't notice. I guess I got lucky with those.

I am curious about this as well. I have the tranny and rear diff out of an '06 WRX sedan, and the rear axles fit perfectly while the fronts were too long because of the wider track. Is it a difference in the rear knuckles on the sedan, or how do they accomplish it?
