how did you break your drive shaft????

since the wheelbase on the 92 is about 2 inches shorter, i cant say for sure if it will work or not.

Any 2nd get driveshaft should work as long as the transmission type is the same (ie 5mt to 5mt, auto to auto). I learned the hard way that driveshafts do NOT cross over from different subaru models or generations.

as was mentioned early, probably not, if you get it measured them you might have a better idea.

have you tried using www.car-part.com (http://www.car-part.com) to find one yet?
