I changed the rear struts on a '90 legacy. About a month later, the left rear started to squeak like 100 mice stuck in a trap! Every little bump in the road. I check the TSB's, and found one that mentions a redesigned top mount. I asked the local sub dealer about ordering one, and mentioned the TSB, and they asked me to bring the TSB in, they didn't know what I was talking about! My question is, is there a good parts supply out there, besides trying to go thru the dealer? BTW, I heard Subaru was supposed to be bought by Toyota. I'vebought Toyota parts thru the dealer with day turn-around. For the same '90 legacy, I ordered the mini e-brake shoes, and it took 8 weeks to get them in!

Thanks for the link to the great pics! Just a question on the location of the wiring connector for the duty c solenoid on that '90 legacy. Which side of the tranny or end housing is it located. According to the diagnostics, I should measure the resistance of the solenoid, the ground line, and the harness between the tcu and connector. Where's the connector? Also, where do you place the fuse on the FWD switch? Is that located on the firewall? My problem with the torque bind is intermittent. I can drive for 100's of miles with no problem. Then,all of a sudden when I slow down and turn, I get the TB! After I turn the car off, the whole car moves, like it's "relaxing". The next time I start, the power light blinks the 8 secs, then I drive for 100's of more miles. With the intermittent problem, I'm thinking maybe the connector is dirty or loose. I had the transmission rebuiltback in Apr 2005. This was done after the problem was id'd as "binding or bucking on turns" - transfer clutch worn out. My rear tires were severly cupped, and it felt like they were being dragged during turns. I took the car to a trans shop, and they decided that the trans needed rebuilding, with the comment, "what were you doing to this? this transmission is a mess!" The torque bind started showing up last May. I've about 210K on the car.

I just had that problem last week! All the dash lights started to blink, then stayed on, the radio started acting erratic, then the engine started to hesitate, then stalled. I tried a quick jump so I could get back home, and the car only ran for a few blocks then died again. Turns out the alt was bad, ( a lifeteime warranty one was installed back in June) and the battery would not charge. Replaced them both, all is back to norm!

Howdy folks! I am having that TB on a 1990 Legacy SW AWD, 210,000. I ran the TCU shift code read, and while I didn't have any "current" codes, the previous codes indicate the Duty C solenoid. I got testing data from AllDataOnline at the library, but unfortunately, there are no pictures of compoment locations. Does anyone have a link to pics of where the duty C is located, where the wiring connector is, etc. If the solenoid is bad, what's involved with changing it? I've heard that the end housing needs to be removed, but this can be done without removing the tranny. Thanks for any info!
