center bushing mystery
Further deciphering the center bolt, rear end.. if spring loaded and on a dial, the original steel could adjust rear camber in real time, from inside the car. I first spotted this on a ford rally car from the same year (A little RWD ford that came with a cosworth). so the mystery connection was indeed a rally something. I welded to the point of tractor trailer so, the adjustment flex is just going to be a hard set bushing, the bushing plenty soft...and two bolts, instead of a centering of one. As steel ages it petrifies of course. the hollow tube acting as a flexing sway bar still happens, but, this is a wagon. The chassis that came with steel behind the seat, sedan/coupe, they could play with the camber inside. the wagon needs to be a truck. I must say I defied some logic welding the span on a wagon chassis to sustain strongly. If I could pat myself on the back I would. Breaking this one as I mentioned, is simply more spring, never really broken.
I was talking to my brother, he got hired to do some carpentry in southern maine.
Got to talking of cars, told me the guy collects, obviously well to do. So I went and checked out the site.. may inquire about this Subaru going in for a sale or trade, as this buggy is not going anywhere local. This is a difficult one, as gurus with real facts have no brand names. My locale knows how to say "tchebby" and "free fiphy". ..and maybe furd fteen thousand.
I often look for collectors that kept anything with facts... a world of autos in one place. That dynamic does make well to do. No need to be a rockhead.
As I watch the auto journalism everywhere I can, a good point was brought up that I often forget. something seeming cheap may cost you more because it is a low production run.
Example: the late 90s delco radio from a Pontiac with no cassette or even bezel lights must have cost an arm and a leg.
