In or out ??? Bought new brake pads for wifes 96 Outback. When taking off pads I noticed the pad with the arm that lets you know when your pads are getting low and makes a chirpping noise was faceing to the out side of wheel. The other side pad the arm was on the inside. I called Advance and asked what side it should face and the guy did not sound too sure and said the inside. I called AutoZone and they said it did not matter. Most brakes I seen face that arm outside. What is the answer , arm in or arm out ?????

Torque bind ???? Was reading post cause wife has 96 Outback awd automatic with same problem, skipping on slow tight turns. New tiers new cv joints and front end alignment,still skips. So explain what torque bind is and how do you get rid of it. How will the fuse change help ?? wrongturninswv@wmconnect.com

Very helpfull,think everyone should read this. Thanks Nipper

I read the replies on piston slap in Subaru engines.The question I have is how can you tell the difference from a rod knock and piston slap ??? Isent it the same sound ?? How do you tell the 2 apart ?? Mine sounds like it comes from the center of the engine and when it warms up the sound is its almost gone. I know what lifters sound like cause I had dozens of 80s models. Tell me what the difference is. Thanks

Thanks,I found the problem. Last owner put sealer all over top of gasket covers cause he over tightened the 3 bolts on each side and back halfs had the nuts pulled right out of them. Think he used the sealer just to hold the 2 halves together.The way they fit together it will not look like you need a seal betweem them at all. I think they just keep the road dust and water off of the belts.

Anybody know if the timing cover gaskets are the same on the 2.2 and 1.8 engine ? Rubber gaskets that go between the 2 cover halves on the 95. thanks

Not yet on the grill , is has an old one on that came with car but not the one that comes with it. And yes I looked on ebay for fog lights, no luck on that. May just take them off to get sticker

Rotors cut and a good set of Bendix pads is my answer. I live the highest part of West Virginia and have had Subarus for 13 years out here . Nothing but mountians to go up and down on. Go down some hills at 50mph or better and it hair pin curves too,good set of pads and all in how you drive it. Just watch out for the deer,had one leap right over the hood the other night on the way down hill but that did not slow me down a bit. Subaru is like driving a super high class go-cart. lol luv the wifes Outback

Wanted to buy right side fog light or lens for 95 Subaru Impreza 2 Dr coupe. The problem is I can't find one out here. In West Virginia they will not give a safety sticker to drive your car if everything is not perfect .( Unless you know someone at the repair shop. ) The right side lens is cracked and missing some glass. So its either remove them or put a different set in. Not what I want to do. Any of you guys out there have a lens or light please contact me. The light is not the round one like on the newer Subarus and I do'nt know if 93 and 94 were the same,but my sticker runs out in a few days, so try and dig one up if you can and let me know. Thanks wrongturninswv@wmconnect.com

Thanks guys , took off the belts tonight and found pully nut was lose enough to take off with my fingers . Inside of pully is eaten out and not much of key is left . My question is, is that key part of the crankshaft or is it one of those slide in cause thers not much left of it. Lots of login problems here,had to change password 3 times. Site will not email back wuth answers.

Anyone ever had this problem ? I have a 95 Impreza 1.8 and thought it may have a slight rod knock. I noticed when I turn the air on the noise is gone. When car is running and I look down at the crank pully it looks like it has a slight wobble to it. I turned it off and grabed pully and I cant shake it or get it to move. I know the man I bought car from said it had a crank seal replaced not long ago. Could he have put the pully on wrong some how? And why would it sound fine with the air on , and how can you tell if its a rod knock or not ? Engine has 155,000 on it and it won't blow up when I do 65mph,not yet at least. Need some answers. Thanks

Please go ahead and get price and details of engine for me or phone number to person selling and time to contact. Thanks you can send email so I don't have to keep jumping on the Subaru site to check. wrongturninswv@wmconnect.com

New member here,hi to all,best Subaru site on the internet. Looking for 1.8 engine for my 95 Impreza AWD 5 speed 2 DR coupe. Any where in or near Southern West Virginia. Also need left side rear window trim and front grill and center caps for wheels. Over 160,000 miles on mine and can hear what seems to be a rod knock. May buy whole wrecked car for parts if engine is low miles and still runs. wrongturninswv@wmconnect.com Need it running before the snow falls here. When nothing else moves out here my Subaru will.
