I've been watching this thread, but haven't had time to weigh in with my 2 cents, so here goes. This has been a lively topic with Baja folks, who want to put...
The rear can easily take body shims...... the front requires steering modification... the shaft would need to be lengthened to reach the rack & pinion...
Well, here's the deal: After all that websurfing time and my decision to go with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S's, I went down to Discount Tire checkbook in...
thanks for the quick reply, I'm still holding out for a deal on the Pilots. I found one at Sears, but they were out of stock and then couldn't come up with...
If you've a Discount Tire in your area, they generally will meet any price another place offers. And they charge $10/tire for mounting and balancing. ... ...
I just changed the plugs in my '04 OBS at ~35k miles. I replaced the stock Champion w/ Autolite dbl platnum. When I mentioned this to a service manager at my...
From my understanding the NA engines used the Champions, whereas the turbo models used the NGK. I have a 99 OBS that also came with the champion spark plugs,...
Hey everyone, I've got two questions. The first is easy: I went to get replacement arms for my hatch (some -30F days in VT blew the seals on my original ones)...
Well, I was going to say that someone must carry the struts, but a quick look at Advance and Autozone doesn't seem to list them. They *might* be the same as...
Struts are a generic item. Any good parts house will have struts available in various lengths and various attchments. Just take one of your struts and measure...

hey guys, For those in the Canada/Toronto area, Don't forget to check out this site. I heard that they have awesome prices for up to 70% off for all Subaru...
The speedo on my 98 obs is starting to act up. The speed is registering lower than reality and the needle bouncing. So what typically is breaking in the speedo...
I had this problem on an F350 once, and I did everything wrong first: I replaced the speedometer head ( the face, odometer, and the gears in the dash) It still...

Hi Everyone, I'm a recent owner of a "used" 2003 Outback Sport. I was downsizing vehicles and I've always heard good things about the Outbacks, and I found...
Well, I can't say for sure about an 03' Outback Sport, but I can say this: My wife has a 97' Impreza L sedan with about 110K miles on it. It's needed front...
Oh yeah, my brother also has an 04 WRX, and my aunt/uncle have an 04 Forester, I think they're both in the 30-40K mile range. No problems at all that I've ...

Hi, 2000 OBS owner here too. I have the exact same problems. I too would like to avoid the dealership! Anyone have any ideas? If there are two of us with...
My take is that the used car dealer isn't going to solve this one. You need to take it to dealer or a shop that specializes in subies. (sometimes these are run...
... The dealer in question is a Subaru dealer. The car was bought new, maintained, and traded at the same dealer 2 2/3rds years later. I was fortunate that I...
