Over $700 new. Only 8,000 miles on them (over 2 Winters), so there is no measurable treadwear. These are one of the best performing snow tires available. Check...
I'm having an issue with my 97 OBS. This morning I couldn't get the car to start (nothing when you turn ignition switch). The power locks were weak (when I...
Mike, Power locks don't need a lot of current, and neither do interior lights. The starter does, however, as to headlights. So the power locks and interior...
Tension in the alternator belt is good. I'm gonna have a friend bring over a voltmeter and check some other stuff out. I forgot to mention that even after...
Okay then, it does sound like your alternator. Don't know if you'll be able to determine anything with a voltmeter though. There's voltage (volts) and...
When you get that meter, with the engine runing you should see about 14.5 volts across the batt if everything is working. To me it sounds like a really high...
I'm pretty sure Advance does a load test. It took about a minute to do it on the machine they had. I haven't checked the chasis ground...what exactly should I...
Easiest way is to put one lead from voltmeter on battery terminal (mot cable clamp), the other lead on aclean bolt on the engine and hit the starter, if there...
you can take the alternator out and get it checked at a parts store, like autozone. That way you don't start replacing parts until you fix the problem. If the...
I agree. If the car ran after the jumpstart for more than a minute or two, then the problem probably isn't the alternator. If the battery is more than a...
I drove down to Kansas over the weekend. I got a little time at Heartland Park for the SCCA Runoffs, and saw a couple of races. Very nice facilities down...
hi all, my dad just bought a brand new 2007 Legacy. he got it home last Monday and by Wednesday he said he was smelling gas (not gasoline, but like natural...
Yes, the "Passenger Airbag Off" light should be on whenever there is no-one in the passenger seat. It should go out when someone sits in the seat, though. As...
Do you mean a smell like rotten eggs ? That's the scent they put in natural gas to make it detectable. Makes me wonder if there is an exhaust leak from the...
more details, please: model year, auto or 5 speed, (if you are from Minn., do you have your snow tires on yet?) number of passengers? You could already be...
... Sorry about that '99 OBS. 2.2l, slush box, luggage rack on top. Just me (overweight) and a cooler of beer (I shared). Yokohama TRZ tires, new in May/June. ...
I think the mpg could be about right then. Since gasoline is a commodity, and they purchase what is available, your station could have some version of winter...
Personally having driven a variety of vehicles, I'd find that hard to believe. Sure, you can spin anything out. but with my 97' OBS with automatic, the ONLY...
I'm with Levi here. For background, I also drive a wide variety of new and old cars regularly, and I think my '97 OBS--5 speed--is less likely to spin than...
Yup, though I've had that happen on all types of drivetrains. Though I suppose a lot of that is during braking more than acceleration... Levi (: ... [Non-text...
My 02 wrx wagon has never shown any tendency to spin. It wants to just keep going straight no matter what the road condition is, including 3 inches of slush...
The WRX is pretty well over horse-powered. That contributes. With this statement, I'm starting to think, put the 18mm rear sway bar on, and new stock struts. I...
So, I'm poking around ebay and subaruparts.com and subaruwrxparts.com (though I probably won't order from them because of the last time), trying to figure out...
I haven't yet needed any for my 97' OBS, but wondered the same thing. I'm thinking you could use the ones labeled not for ABS. They might be a little shorter...
I've got KYB AGX adjustables (for a 98-01 RS) on my '96 OBS and they worked just fine. I zip tied my abs cable to the strut and haven't had any issues. --JOsh...
I have the KYB GR2s in my '99 OBS. My brother works for a tire sales and service place and put them in for me. He did not mention any exceptional difficulty....
