Yep, I could start hearing the bearing (a faint wheeze that would be louder at low RPM)...Oh well, time to dish out some $$$) Thanks

Alternator change time ? For the last year, noticed that my light were dimming slightly while idling. Then lately, all my electrical such as wipers would slow down as I would slow down as well. Today, my radio turned off as my rpm went down, and back on as my rpm went up while idle or running. Turned my car off, and it would not start again. My battery is exactly 1 year old (a 5 year warranty one). AM I correct in assuming time for a new alternator ? BTW, 93 Legacy 4WD wagon, 5 speed, no air. Thanks JF

Hi, I have a 93 Legacy wagon 2.2 4wd non turbo 5 speed When driving at low speeds, I hear squeaking from front driver's side that goes away when driving faster, and sometimes when I go over bumps, I hear a metal klunking sound. I just bought new brakes I am installing on Friday, so IO want to check other things. I was thinking wheel bearing, what do you think ? Thanks JF

I was told to use any 95-99 Outback setup. I have found 2 front-2 rear 97 Outback whole assembly (struts, springs and topplates for 75$Can each. Is it a good deal ? They are guaranteed 3 months from a reputable Subaru used part junkyard. Cheers JFD

Hi*** I might be able to pick up a full setup (Shocks, spriongs, topplates) from a 2001 Outback for cheap. I need to change my suspension, but I am wondering if it would fit. I do think so, but just in case, anyone with experience ? Thanks JFD 93 Legacy Wagon Non turbo, 5 speed 2.2

Nope, you are right, I am just being dumb (or rather, running on 48 hours without sleep....) Thanks JF

Thanks. I guess it means that I need to get to it from underneath....Not an option without a garage in our winter-slushy-icy rain condition

I know...dumb question.... But I cant find it, and my milleage is baaaad, and I have a code 21...So I got a new one from the dealer. 2 questions: 1) Where is it lovated (idiot proof) 2) Is it necessary to remove coolant, or a quick swap will do it. In my vw, it says to remove the coolant, but I can manage with a quick swap ! And I know....Not to forget to apply teflon to thread ! Cheers JFD 93 Legacy L wagon 4WD, 5 speed

2 dumb questions: 1) How do I replace the cigaterre lighter ? 2) Can I buy any generic one, or do I need a sub specific ? I am only using it to power my iPod ! Cheers JF 93 Legacy L Wagon 4WD 5 speed Too much rust !

Hi, I need to remove my radio in order to get to the cigarette lighter, as mine blew. I tried to remove my radio, but can only find 2 screw behind the cupholder once removed. ANy clue would be welcomed ! Cheers JFD 93 Legacy L Wagon 4WD 5 speed Too much rust !

Yep I did, and Fixed it....I had to remove the plastic trimming on the passenger side near the strut assembly and wiggle it out while pulling with a plier from outside. Fixed

Between my GF and I we will kill this car... It was cold and I tried to release the frozen cable that releases the fuel door...Anyhow, it fell beneath its housing, and I am trying to figure out how to get it back. I know it runs underneath the rear seat, but after, I am stumped.... Help please ? Thanks ! JFD 1993 Legacy Wagon L

Well, unless you get out of the indoor pool and go out, then realize, damn, its cold and I dont want to go back in !!! Of course, I am starting to bald and am completely shaved, so it wont apply to me !

Do I need to remove the entire panel, or is it accessible easily ? Cheers JF

I need help figuring out, my cigarette lighter (which I use to power my iPod since I do not smoke) died today ( I will explain how underneath should you care). I checked the fuse in the fuse box (15A, third from the top), and it was ok. Changed it anyhow, and it still does not work. It worked flawlessely before my gf left the pool with her hair wet, decided it was too cold (- 18), and had the brilliant idea of plugging her blowdryer to the converter I have in the trunk for emergencies. She said it simply stopped working. Now the lighter wont power up anything. Help appreciated. 93 Legacy L Wagon 4wd 5 speed Thanks
