    outback struts

    i have a set of 15's on my other subaru, so i could switch the wheels. i was thinking of a 205/70/15. i won't have any problems with rubbing the struts will i. i think the 205's will be about a 26" i just found these http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&tireModel=Geolandar+A%2FT-S&vehicleSearch=true&partnum=07SR5GEOATS&fromCompare1=yes&place=39&speed_rating=S&speed_rating=T&speed_rating=U&speed_rating=H&speed_rating=V&speed_rating=Z&speed_rating=W&speed_rating=Y

    outback struts

    whats a good size tire to run. i have 185/70/14's now. i'll probably stay with 14" wheels. i don't want to cut into the body. would a 27x8.5-14 be to big

    outback struts

    i didn't get them yet. i will probably let this guy i know that owns a garage do it. after i seen how hard the struts came off my other subie i don't think i wanna mess with it. he gives me great prices. your a little far from me i'm in pa.

    outback struts

    last question ( i think). i looked up struts for a 97 outback and they have abs and non abs, does it matter which ones i get. my 90 is non abs

    outback struts

    thinking of putting them on my 90 legacy. just wanted to make sure i could use stock springs and tops. will their be any problems with brake hose length or any problems with allignment
  12. took it to another garage and they got them off. i guess the other side was the same way.
  13. had my 90 leg fwd at the garage to get rear struts on it. i get a call and the guy says he can't get the one bolt out. he got the nut off but the bolt is siezed in. he said he tried heating it also. if he breaks the bolt will it be possable to drill it out? any ideas.
  14. i'll check the splash plate when i get a chance. it sounds like thats whats happening.
  15. i noticed that their is a dragging noise coming from my right rear tire while turning left to go around corners. it only happens when turning left. any ideas?
  16. i have a cd player and their is about a 1" gap on top of it. my girlfriends dad has a cd player in his car and a small tape player below it. they both fit great. where can i get one of these, i think it says subaru on it.
  17. so your saying the car doesn't crank. if so i've had 2 do that and both times it was the starter. i replaced it and have not had any problems since. the check engine, take the cover off thats below the steering column. i think something like 10 screws. somewhere on the left side should be 2 single wire black plugs. they might be tucked behind something so you will have to look. plug them together and turn the key on. the light will flash the codes. long and short flashes.
  18. i put some speakers in my one legacy a while back and it was not a direct fit. now my other legacy needs new speakers and i would like to stay away from the trouble i had before. are their any new speakers i can get that will fit right in there. the wires don't matter, just the speakers fitting.
  19. in my haynes manual it says their should be 30 ohms between pins 1 &2. i got 6.1 ohms ^ [1 2] [3 4] i also checked my other sensor and got the same. then it says to check pin 2 on the engine wiring and i got .017v. i also got 12v on pin 1 ok just checked my other subaru and got 10.1 ohms between 1&2. but i was thinking that can't be the problem because the sensor that i took out had about 10. ohms.
  20. i just got another sensor, this time from subaru. i put it in and started the car and the light is still on. does it take some time for the car to realize that theirs a new one there? what else could it be.
  21. it has 160,000 miles. it does it regardless of speed. i was going like 5 mph and the car shook. it takes more pedal pressure than normal to stop it, compared to other subaru's i've drove. i will have to try pulling the abs fuse.
  22. i checked it a while ago. only one code(oxygen sensor). just now got around to changeing it. it doesn't come on every time, i drove it earlier today and no light.
  23. nipper: if one of the things you listed was the problem, would the car still drive normal. the car feels perfectly normal otherwise. if it was one of the calipers wouldn't it pull the car to one side. to my it feels like the whole brake system is vibrating not just one wheel.
