  1. Hello all- I moved to the midwest (Wisconsin) with a 94 Impreza without air conditioning. I toughed out the first summer, but for multiple reasons will be needing A/C in the future. I'd like to add it to this car, so I need to know if anyone has any experience, advice, mechanical information, ball park for price, etc. Anybody had this done professionally? I know it could be expensive, but I was told by my mechanic that air was a dealer option for these models and so it might not be too hard. I was hoping I could buy the parts from a salvage yard and perhaps do the work myself, then get it charged. The car is FWD, 1.8L, 5 spd. It has about 130k miles and is in very good condition. It spent most of its time in western Montana away from salt and extreme sun. I'm the third owner and have records for most of the maintenance. Bottom line: the car is paid for, is reliable, and I expect it to stay that way. I'm in grad school and don't have a lot of cash, PLUS, I'd like to be able to drive this for a couple years after graduation. Thanks for all your help.
  2. Hi there - I'm new so I apologize if I commit any USMB faux pas. I am going to replace the passenger side drive axle on my 94 Impreza (FWD, 1.8L, 5spd). The upper boot has a small hole that is spraying grease out in a neat pattern, and the lower boot is shredded. My mechanical experience is limited, but my older brother (who is helping me) has loads working on race cars and pickups, but none on FWD imports. I have a Chiltons, but it covers 10 years worth of Subs and multiple models, so I'm not sure its gonna be enough help. Any basic instructions, advice, no-nos, tips, insights, etc. would be great. Thanks ahead of time.
