My 2000 4-cyl A/T OBW has 120K; all original suspension components; never wrecked; new tires. If I'm going about 50 mph and back off the throttle, the car 'trembles' briefly as it decelerates. Also trembles/shakes at low speeds with uneven curb cuts, speed bumps, etc. What is the likely explanation? What bushings/mounts/etc. typically wear out by this mileage and might explain this problem? TIA.

2000 4 cyl OBW, 120K. About 18 months ago my A/C stopped working. My independent mechanic topped up the refrigerant and it worked fine until just recently. Took it back to him, and he says now there is a leak in the discharge line (part # 11 in the schematic, the one that runs between the condensor and the compressor) where it connects to the compressor. Is this likely just a bad o-ring, or does the line itself need replaced? Either way, does this repair require a new receiver/dryer at the same time? TIA.

I recently had to disassemble a front strut/spring assembly because a previous mechanic forgot to install a washer between the strut and the tophat. Although I have a high-quality spring compressor I was unable to get the job done, and took the assembly to a local Goodyear store; they did it for me, for $20. Money well spent, in my opinion.

This thread should have been labeled '2009' models; my mistake. But I went to the dealer today and picked up a 2009 Outback brochure; it clearly shows the H6 3.0 being available for the 2009 Outback wagon. I showed the dealer, on his computer, the official Subaru website which is silent as to that option; he was surprised, and had no explanation.
