I'll meet you half way and just lock this.

 

 

But folks should know that if they searched for info and this thread comes up that they should disregard all of the above.

#1152065 Subarus were meant to do that.

Posted by Mechanical_misfit on 12 March 2013 - 03:58 PM

I've personally never cared if they were intended to go offroad or not. My first Subaru was just a cheap 4 banger, and once it showed me how good it was off-road, I didn't complain. As a teenager, every car was an all terrain vehicle. Haha.

Just for future reference, we do not call them beaters. The proper term is "classic". ;)

#1148586 I dont have enough problematic old vehicles so...

Posted by Uberoo on 23 February 2013 - 01:23 PM

They are never fixed because that would violate the beater law."As soon as a problem is fixed two more must pop up"

#1163532 '00obw brake squeal in right turns

Posted by johnceggleston on 10 May 2013 - 08:27 PM

inspect the brake pads. i think you will find that one side has brake pads that are not worn evenly.

that side brake caliper has / needs the slide pins cleaned and re-greased.

the caliper is hanging up on the slide pins.

 

i have re-greased slide pins without cleaning them or the inside of the caliper slides and it just happens again.

 

clean and then grease the slide pins.

#1162101 VW strut inserts 2.0

Posted by Uberoo on 02 May 2013 - 12:48 PM

When you look at EVERYTHING we do to make our subarus go better offroad is SKETCHY to the rest of the offroading world.Suspension lift made from blocks of steel that space the suspension down from the body/frame-sketchy,drilling a couple extra holes in rims-super sketchy.Even welding the rear diff is looked down as sketchy. As far as the struts go torxxx is right the only thing I have to worry about with the struts is them being blown from welding.When I welded them I drained the oil to prevent the oil from heating all the seals and valves,I did my welding as far away from the all the seals and valves as possible. I allowed everything to cool before welding another section.Every single welding related step that the pictures show was spaced apart by an hour's worth of cooling time.

 

Me,my car,and my welded on struts will be at the summer run at evan's creek if you want to check it out.For those that wont be there I will make an update post after I haven't died.
