  1. Hello, Just wondering what would be some of the causes of fuel in the oil of a carbed 1.8L 86 gl 4x4 wagon? All input appreciated! Thank you! EZ
  2. Hello' I've an 86 gl wagon 4x4 carburated 1.8L and would like to find exploded views of the complete engine and or all the different sub-systems so as to be able to identify the different parts and part numbers. So far all that I've come up with is service manuals on cds that require a program installation on a windows pc and I have a Mac. I hope someone can help this newb to subes. Thank you! EZ
  3. Thank you! I'll try the fronts first as the rears are less than 1 yr old even though they weren't torqued right either. EZ
  4. I'm thinking you 2 are right about it being either bearings or tire balance (I'm now leaning to bearings as the tires are pretty new). The boots are still good. The guy the car was bought from thought that maybe it was the cv shafts but after my son and his friend towed it home the torque on the castle nuts was definately way under and I hoped new nuts cleaned threads with a little duralube and retorqueing would solve it but I'm afraid damage was done. It is more of a LOT of humming than anything with a little occasional very slightly felt vibe at the wheel. All of this is above 30mph. The cv shafts do have a little movement to them when shaken up down or back to rear but even lots less wheel to transaxle movement. I should've been more thurough with the details and history. Thank you and any more input is most welcome! EZ PS a good inexpensive source for wheel bearings would be appreciated also:) !
  5. Hmm! I'll be checking them again today and post back. Thank you! EZ
  6. Hello, I'm new to Subarus and am wondering what the best way is to diagnose cv shaft problems? I've an 86 gl wagon 4x4 and have weird vibrations and noise coming from up front. Have grabbed both front wheels given them a good shake and the bearings seem to be ok. I'm wondering if the cv shafts are to have any movement in them at all or not when they are shaken up down and side to side? There is definately some movement there, how much is tolerable or if any I don't know. Seems like it is the problem but I figured I should get some experienced advice, as I've always been a rear pushed vehicle person till now. Thank you, EZ
