Hi All
I have a 2002 Liberty Wagon - Build Date 06/2002 - that I have been told has a head issue. The car still starts and runs fine, maybe a little under powered, but I thought I would swap the engine as I like to do things myself and would be the cheaper option.
I found and bought a low km Forester - Build Date 08/2002(MY03?) - for the engine but considering it's got heaps less k's (and new brakes) than the Liberty I want to use as much of the running gear as I can from it. I've done a lot of searching but haven't been successful in finding anything specific to these two models and any compatible parts.
Here's what I would consider using(which is pretty much everything):
Entire Front Cradle and Rear Cradle - but if not then below as individual parts:
Engine, auto transmission, transfer case
Suspension - Springs and Shocks
Brakes - Discs and Calipers
Rear Diff
CV's and Shafts
Control Arms
I would be interested to hear about any ratio differences also or other pointers regarding the change over that you might have.
Thanks Heaps
Luke
