Car Forum / Subaru Cars / January 2009seat from salvage yard
All, Do any of you know if the '97 and '98 Legacy L seats are interchangeable? My 98's drive side is shot and the salvage yard has "excellent condition" 97 seats. Any Ideas?

Have to use the newer style seat belts with the 3rd gen seats. >> > All, >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > from a 2002 model. Have to use the newer style seat belts with the > 3rd gen seats. Thanks I'm going to go over there on Sat and see what they look like. IDK if I will be allowed to "remove" them from the old car or if someone from the yard will do that for me. They may be removed already. Any special tools to remove and install? Thanks again!

Where the seat belts are anchored you will need larger sockets and at least an 1/2" rachet as those bolts are always difficult to loosen. Just look at your seat before leaving for the yard to determine the sizes needed. When you reinstall the seats be forewarned those "seat belt" bolts are very difficult to start and don't cross thread them. Fine threaded and once you cross thread them you have a real problem. And I won't bother with another L seat. Get some from the LS or Limited models. Your butt will appreciate the upgrade. >> >> > All, >> [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > seat.

Post over on www.ultimatesubaru.org in the parts wanted section. Several members there at the moment are parting out either Limited models (leather) or one SUV Legacy. Even the 6- or 8-way power are easy to install. Just need to run a fused wire under the seat. |
