im not sure i understand what everyone means by "difference" does this kit just eliminate that "clunk" from 1st to 2nd? or does it help with acceleration? please explain, i'm very new to subies but at the same time very curious.

ive had a list of parts of parts im working twords. its large. this rear subframe lockdown was on the list and now that its on sale i ordered it . let the suspension work begin . this is my first step in rear . next comes larger sway bar , end links , mounts, lateral links, trailing links , assorted chassis stiffening bars ,well see how it feels after all that in the rear if its too loose still ill look at coilovers. i just cant see swapping out the stocker struts and springs yet cause they still work . once they go bad ill upgrade , but we will see how other mods affect performance first.

I installed the kit and I have one concern. I can feel the ring and pinion gears meshing in 2nd and 3rd gear right around 3500 rpm. I am wondering if this is normal.
I am wondering if I have installed the front bushings correctly (the 2 largest bushings in the kit. I installed the bushings on top of the support beam and mounted the plates on top but the bushings never seemed to seat flush in the mounting location. They seem to be bulging out. Does anyone think this is causing the gear vibration I am experiencing? Other then that I love the Perrin SLS! |

I too just tossed in the Kit.
Install wise, all went well on the bushing part of the task, but when it came time to throw the bolts in....things changed. I finished up the rear diff bushings, tightened the nuts back up, and went onto installing the two "Lock-down Bolts" (the Grade 12+ Monsters included with the kit.). I put one in the proper hole, tightened by hand for a turn or so, then moved on to handtools. After a few turns I noticed there was no more tightening, just spinning. So, something broke. I know the hole is not stripped as I had threads going in, and I cannot remove the dangling bolt now. My questions are: were the threads we were utilizing for this kit (the inside of the Factory hole) simply a nut welded onto the other side of the frame? Also, were do I go from here? Im left with all the bushings installed. One lockout bolt in my hand, and the other dangling(yet not coming out) halfway into the frame. |

I still dont understand why this happened. The only reason I can guess is that the Subaru factory threads arent always welded to 100% potential on something they didnt plan on using. I know a weld broke in there, that has to be the situation, but I cant see why other than poor manufacturing. The threads were cleaned with PB Blaster, Simple Green, Brushes and Compressed air. The Bolts threaded in easily until they stopped tightening. Am I losing faith in Subie now...?

Ok, so I was under my car today and it seems my rear subframe is a little different. I have a 2000 2.5RS with a diff. cover that was there when I bought it. I don't know if that makes a difference, but basically, mine varies, for whatever reason, from both your and my manuals pictures of what it should look like. Where those two center holes in the subframe that are close together are, that's where my bushings are, and how the diff connects to the subframe. I don't have that little "arm" that holds the bushings AT ALL. I'm wondering if these bushings will work for me and was wondering if I back that nut off on mine, is it just a stud that goes into the diff, or what? if so, how do I get your inside rear bushing on the stock bushing? Finally, would anyone be willing to measure those bushings for me so I can see if they'll fit?
That nut is rusted on there dame good, so I kinda want to know what that stud it's holding connects to on the diff, and how... Thanks... Last edited by TheNewThatGuy; 09-30-2008 at 01:53 AM. |
