Got my new plain hood on. It really looks great for the RS which I think Subaru switch over to after the WRX came to town. This will be better for my 16 year...
I installed the KYB GR-2 struts on our 97 outback sport years ago. The front struts were adjustable, the rear were not available as such. It was nice to...
i'll add to this a bit. if you've never changes struts before they are not terribly hard to do. instead of the makeshift setup that karl was using i use a...
I agree with Jason, If you can get a hold of a compressor, thats the way to go. The Honda springs on our 90 civic & 91 Prelude were just to tight for the...
Yeah, the right tool for the job is the way to go... often you can borrow them for free at your local AutoZone store... if one of those springs gets loose, yer...
I've done it myself once. It was enough work, and enough risk that I'd rather let a shop compress the springs for a few bucks. Time wise, it's probably about...
The car: Forester 1999, w/130K miles, manual transmission. When I shift from neutral to 1st gear the rpm rev up from ~700 to about 2000. Then I shift from 1st...
I have a used 2001 outback water pump with 100k in good working order. If anybody wants it please give me a call because I am pitching it Sunday. Jonathan 828...
Have the engine codes read out... could be an O2 sensor... could be a lot of things... start by checking to see if'n you have any codes that might help guide...
My guess would be my favorite sensor to blame... the knock sensor. It seems they may be hyper sensitive, and pick up some other noises, which then causes the...
hmmm sounds like you have a fairly good idle... 700 is good, so i wouldn't suspect an air leak. and o2 hardly effects drivability or performance... its more ...
thanks for the response. the instantaneous stall does not allow me to feel if the car has any rattle @1500. Occasionally, when I come to a full stop (red...
Idle Air Controller is highly suspect if the idle doesn't stabilize properly. Or, look for air leaks (minor), or even something like a leaky injector. As...
I think you said yer soob has about 130k miles on it... if'n it's got the original O2 sensors on it, then they prolly need replaced... most folks I know, who...
the iac is going to be on the throttle plate assembly, it is typiclly just behind the butterfly (yes i could go see where it is in my pimpreza but im lazy at...
I have an Outback that needs a new heated side mirror. The dealer says that the replacement part must be the entire housing assembly- not just the mirror. I...
I show the same thing. try www.car-part.com and look for your mirror. Naturally, you can still take the glass out of it and install in yours if you like, but...
Does the heater element still work? If it does just go to a glass place. They can make you a mirror and glue it on. When I has this done 7 years ago it cost me...
After 228,000km my 95 Legacy (EJ22 5MT) sprung a leaking the driver's side valve cover gasket. Fine, got it changed - and the passanger side at the same time...
The oil supply to the heads is in that area on the EJ25 motors, probably the same on the EJ22's. But, it should be easy to determine which it is. Clean the...
Smells like a fish to me... I'd get a second opinion from someone else... bet it's the valve cover gaskets again and they just don't wanna admit their initial...
You can also get some UV reactive dye and put it in the oil to help locate the leak. ... From: Subaru-Tech@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Subaru-Tech@yahoogroups.com]...
Valve covers are easy to replace. I would find another mechanic to replace yours, except properly this time. If you have a garage and some tools you can do...
I just bought a 1991 legacy wagon right hand drive. I am having a few issues with it. it was used as a postal vehicle, I have replaced the starter, because it...
Thanks all - after cleaning and running for a few days it turns out to be leaking from the filler-tube gasket with the valve cover - duhh. I was able to give...
It could be another attempt to fix something that doesn't necessarily need replacing, but for what $10 for spark plug wires (they might be more) it is pretty...
I have 2 wagons, I'm going to swap some parts from my 1992 wagon into my 1991 wagon, but I'm mostly parting out my 1992 legacy ls 4wd wagon. I have 3 legacy's...
Hello all, I am the happy new owner of a used 1993 Legacy Wagon. I believe its in really good shape. Its got 164000 miles on it but has been meticulously...
I have a 1991 Loyale wagon for sale in north Denver, CO. It has rust and the oil pump seal needs to be replaced. I have replaced the car and now I want to...
