Thanks for all the replies. My struts apparently are still in reasonably good condition--no sign of leakage and it passes the bounce test. Do these fail...
... If you were to put brand new ones in today, you would notice a stiffer ride just because they are new. As long as they are absorbing the jolts of the road,...
Struts do not cause body sag. Worn springs cause body sag. A pot hole will not damage a strut unless there is other suspension damage or excessive upper or...
You havent seen the potholes on the Long Island Expressway in queens, yes it blew my strut. ON a worn strut a sudden load can blow the internal seals (and a...
its Kyle with his 91 legacy mail car. after a recent run in with a ditch on monday, I've decided that I need something to help me corner better. after breaking...
Man, you're a true idiot! I hope to read your further reports direct from your hospital bed and pray to God you don't involve innocent others in your bullshit...
ok, I know I'm not the first person to lose control of his car. and you really need to tone down your insults and fowl language. I'm not a member of this group...
For the money that the suspension is going to cost to repair, not to speak of the frame, you can pick up another similar year Legacy. Even if you can't see...
I noticed that my front A-arms didnt match, until I put one from my 92 on it. (the mounting bracket on the rear looked different between the 2 A-arms) as far...
To all: This morning, I started my 2005 Outback. It started up normally, but the "Check Engine" stayed on and the little green light on the dash that says...
Now with Drive by wire motors the CC light flashes when you get a code. Best to have the code read to find out what the root cause is. A common issue is a...
Sway bars, springs, ride height, tires, wheels, shocks, suspension geometry, even drive system and weight distribution ALL effect how your car handles. More of...
How do you determine what tires can be be reasonably, and safely, used as replacements on standard Subaru wheels without changing the drive ratio by changing...
Who'dve thunk it... I always assumed Advance would do this also, but I must admit that I've only ever had it done at AutoZone stores... I checked out the...
Hmmm... Checker is just like Advance... same store, different name... That's a little ironic... Checker has you do your own checking... not much of a checker...
I've noticed that too. I have and advanced close to me, but use autozone which is farther away beacuse they provide this service. Advanced will rent one to you...
There's a few ways to do this, my favorite by far is www.tirerack.com Just look up your car, and click tires, and it will give you options. Interestingly, it...
Thank You very much. I like your responses better than some of the insults I've received on here. your response certainly gave me a lot to think about. and...
Kyle, As I understand it, you are carrying mail? If that is the case, you may wish to locate an OB or Forester with the towing package suspension. I've had...
Your welcome :) Strut tower braces can be found on ebay. NOw that blu almost has his lift kit, i may get a front brace myself. nipper ... [Non-text portions of...
no, I'm not carrying mail. I bought the car from a mail man for $160 because I like the price, as well as driving on the right side of the car. and so far with...
I've learned my lessons, I've corrected my driving habits. most of all, I'm very happy that nobody got hurt in my last incident. that was more than enough to...
The thing is always what lessons are learned. Just not to drive crazy is only a bit of it. I hope it's that driving is first of all a social or cooperative...
You probably need an alignment, and it's possible stuff is bent as I'd mentioned. You may not see it, crash damage can be elusive. My wife crunched the...
The maturity argument is really a false cliche. So-called 'adults' are driving on the road talking on cellphones, yelling at kids in the backseat, sending...
Well I reckon there's now 2 idiot macho drivers in this context. I hope you encounter each other in your endeavors to prove yourselves----please spare the ...
Strut reinforcement bar stops body flex in curves. Subarus are fairl rigid, so unless your doing autocross you really dont need it. Sounds like you need a good...
