Subaru oilpan ground clearance


Tom Myers
 

To calculate Subaru oilpan-to-ground clearance, measure the distance from your rear suspension pivot bolt (just ahead of the rear tire). Subtract 5.5 inches.

Yup, pretty darn close. I have one of those lowered '88s with LT195/75 R14
(Bridgestone Dueler A/T) tires. The pivot bolts are 11 1/2" off the ground
and my oil pan is 6 3/8" - 7" off the ground.
