The Impreza had to be moved and is now temporarily in my shop. It has not really been in use for the last year or so, it's mainly been up on stands

I am finally back to working on the Legacy and the next thing was to get the front knuckle and Hub assembled.

The issue I had was with the Strut/Wheel combination I wanted. The wheel was 5x100 and the strut was for 05 -07 Impreza STI.

The rear strut bolted direct to the knuckle which was from an 04 STI 5x 100

The strut mounted into the Legacy BC by using a set of Cusco top strut mounts.

The issue came with the front lower strut mount the 5x100 04 STI will not bolt into the lower mount clevis because the bolt spacing is different between the two years, so we drilled the 5x114 hub assembly and machined the studs to clear the bearing housing. So now I have 5x 100 front hub assembly made from 2005 Impreza STI. Once again A Cusco top mount was used to fit into the BC Legacy.

To overcome the final issue which is the diameter if the 5x114 being larger I will use one of the two piece brake rotors that is drilled 5x100 as well as 5x114 and that won't be an issue.
