German axles.

Does anyone know if the front axles for a German SVX with an automatic are different from those in The United States?
Thank you,
Tom Krynock

Yes they should be the same be the same Tom, the German car used the same US type box.

Thank you Harvey!
I THOUGHT that they were the same, but after sending one to
Holland/The Netherlands, I am being told that it does not fit!
I am hoping to see a picture of them, side by side to compare the spline diameters.
The installer is convinced that I sent a rear axle by mistake.
The SVX is a Geman automatic 1992.
More as we figgure this out.

Re: German axles.

It is a bit of a mix match over there. Depends where it was first delivered and where it went from there.
These are the ones that I know.

VTD markets; Japan, England, Australia, NZ, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria and Brazil.
US type markets; US, Canada, Germany, France, Switzerland.
No mention of what type for Israel, Thailand, Norway.

Re: German axles.

Hi Guys

Update about the axle

The axle itself fits, only the bearingrim on the OT axle has a width of 56 mm and the original axle is 60 mm
If the 56 mm is fitted, the bearing will stay open and will be destroyed in a matter of weeks

I have made a pic but have to remember how it worked

Re: German axles.

Why the different dia. bearings? is it because of gearbox variations - or something that Subaru did because of loadings on the splines?

Re: German axles.

Hi

Dont know about the bearings, it is the side of the wheel
The other thing is (not on picture) that the joint on the diff-side is thicker (more massive) than the OT one

Something else, the transmission gives a code 11, duty solenoid A

I cannot find where that is

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Rinus
