If you pull the drain plugs out and shine a light in the bottom one, you should be able to see through the top one if it's open or LSD.

 

I'm tempted to start looking for a fozzy over a wagon for a new DD. The more I see awesome fozzies, the more they're growing on me.

I noticed a bad vibration and seemed the timing was off..The front crank seal was leaking so it was time to check it out.

 

First off the crank pulley bolt wasn't even tight ..! The damper was damaged FUBAR..

The woodruff key was rolled over..!

I had an extra dampner on hand and the crank, gear were ok..

It had throw the timing off about a tooth w/ missfire codes on cyl. #1, #2..

 

Alot of miss information out there on crank pulley bolt torque. Subaru recommends 130ft lbs.

 

The good news is I saved it and runs perfect now...:D

Nice find G!!!

 

I second what was already mentioned, doing the 2nd gen foz strut lift for tire clearance, just that plus 4EAT would make a sick commuter/DD ;):banana:

 

Seems like everyone's getting a foz these days!

 

Personally, I've been way in to Foresters for a while, but now running 2 car seats, that foz back seat (comparing to our 03 OBS') just doesn't have the space I now need :-\

 

Anyhoo, nice looking addition to the lineup, which one does the wife get? :lol:

I christened the foz while hunting for a campspot @ Mt.Bachelor foothills.

I stumbled on some kewl back roads to test the foz out. I was fully loaded @ 3750lbs. Skis, ski pulk, camp gear..

I brushed the foz abit , then took the foz for a dip...
