Your going to get a lecture for this, I got one just for thinking about doing it. I would not drive it to much until you hear some of the thoughts on it and then make up your mind. Or you can do a search on replaceing transaxle seals and get some of the thoughts that already are posted on this subject.

I dont know about sensors, but as far as the connectors under the dash I think they were around four to six of them, it has been a few years so I dont remember for sure. I think they are around two on each side and may a couple in the center, you should be able to see the two on the sides by looking up under the dash.

Klunk

You might push up and down on the front of the car, the klunk could be a bad strut mount. -
Another suggestion is to check the # 3 plug with a inline plug checker to see if you have fire, then check that # three injector pigtail with a noid light, I had this same problem with cyc. three misfire and mine turned out to be the E.C.U. (computer). I had no flash to this inj. pigtail but I had volts to the pigtail.

Klunk

If you have drum brakes on the rear adj. the shoes out. You may try backing and stopping fast or you may need to adj. with star adj. When they are not adj. you will get a clunk at the end of stop. -
Porcupine, Yes the crow feet that come with the H.F. set does fit. I went out to see what size the inner tie rod needed but I no longer have the old rods. I did not have my inner tie rod tool when I changed mine, I used a big cresent wrench and pipe wrenches, it was such a pain that I did not want to do it that way again so I ordered the tool. I did still have the inner tie rods when the tool arrived and checked out how every thing worked together and yes one of the crow feet fit perfect, also the ball joint socket is already greased. Make sure you order the new lock washes for the tie rods, they are not regular lock washes so you must get them from Dealer, I have heard some of the aftermarket tie rods come with new lock washes, the ones I ordered from Subaru did not. Also use lock tite on the inner tie rods, I was given this advice from Midas after I got mine back together.

I have had this twice on my Subaru, once it was the steering shaft U- joint as mentioned by Nipper, the last time it was the inner tie rods. If you get a clunk sound when turning it can be the big bushing at rear of control arm, this bushing is easy to check grease will come out of it when it goes bad.

Gritle, sorry about my comment about the master cyclinder, this is about your brakes, I think the person that said something about looking for brake fluild loss on the right side might be on to something. Damage there would explain the low pedal and the pulling to the other side, it may be something as simple as changing the rubber brake line.
