Talk:Subaru Legacy

message: I have a japanese built USDM 1990 Legacy Wagon LS which originally had the ride height adjustable air suspension installed. I have since removed all air suspension components except the dash button and retrofitted standard MacPherson strut type suspension. The original system had both manual height adjustment using the dash button but also reduced ride height based on vehicle speed. It was nearly exactly the same system as available on the XT6.

:Yup I've changed it to AWD. 4wd typically implies that the car can either be manually changed between 2wd and 4wd or the car has a "hi" and "lo" setting. awd on the other hand is almost always the preferred term for permanent power to 2 wheels without any settings like that. subaru uses the term "awd" themselves. finally in other countries (eg australia) the term "4wd" is the term used to mean "SUV". awd is less confusing.

message: I believe this page has enough information to have the generation outline on the right side like other cars.

message: Considering the Subaru boxer engine is mounted between the front wheel and axle... shouldn't it be considered mid-engined?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.158.39.139 (talk) 07:49, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, the engine is mounted ahead of the front axle. Have a look at any of the cut-away illustrations on Subaru's web sites. Paul Fisher 01:04, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

message: ::Turbocharged versions continued to be available in most non-US markets. Speciality touring and racing versions were available in Japan, as well as the DOHC 2 liter twin sequential turbocharged version on both the sedan and wagon. The twin turbo can only be installed on left-hand drive vehicles because the turbo on the left side interferes with both the brake master cylinder and steering linkage, among other things.
There is an internal inconsistency in this paragraph. If the vehicle is left-hand drive, then the master cylender and steering linkage will be on the left.  But Japan is a right-hand-drive country. Paul Fisher (talk) 09:17, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The Subaru manual transmission uses a true gear type viscous limited slip center differential, not a simple viscous coupling. The secondary shaft in the transmission is hollow with the pinion shaft extending through it to the center diff. It provides a 50/50 torque balance under acceleration and deceleration up to the point of wheel slip, then the VLSD begins to send more torque to the wheels with more traction. 
And BTW, Subaru used the term “Full Time 4WD” through 1991, before changing to “AWD” in 1992 (USDM). There were no changes between these EJ transmissions, it was just a marketing thing.

:For advise on mechanical matters, try using Subaru Fan Club websites. There are multiple sites than can offer suggestions. Wikipedia, unfortunately, is just an encyclopedia that describes the vehicle, but doesn't offer suggestions for repair. WP:NOTHOWTO (Regushee (talk) 15:35, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
