belt is tight put in that lucas ps stuff it helped for bout 12 hours then got stiff again, im leaning more & more towards the rack

thnx all, no noise except when it hits a hard spot you can hear the pump 'strain' a little, fluid is ok

'98 legacy how do you tell if the ps pump is bad or the rack, REALLY hard to turn but it goes in 'spurts" ez, hard, ez, hard spaced approx. evenly, thnx

you can try here, just change the year i think? http://www.cars101.com/subaru_sitemap.html

OR, (it happened to me in my '98 legacy) the steering rack might be going?

you shouldnt be taking picture of the speedometer while youre driving :>)

98 leg wagon bought 4 yrs ago 180k, now 257k still going strong

as stated above '98

just replaced all the struts on my 98 legacy wagon and the abs light came on steady, all the sensors are wired and in place? any ideas? also how would i read a code (if any) from the abs system?, thnx, Mark

maybe the belt frayed and jammed, happened to me with my '98 leg free replacement, check with a dealer first

when i suck on valve engine does almost stall so its working right? i dunno

i can move the valve by sucking, kinda ez too i dunno, NO CEL comes on

'98 leg 2.2 no vacuum to back pressure transducer, EGR valve does NOT move at all, when i disconnect egr (the side with one line) and suck through hose it seems like theres a hole but no hole in line? there is NO vacuum to either of the 2 lines that go to the one side? is that the norm? also there a electric switch? thats between the BPT and the EGR valve? thnx in advance

98 legacy 2.2 just turned 250k

door

try holding the release and slamming the door i have to do that with mine its just enuff to pop it then spray wd-40 or something like that on the latch mechanism

my '98 2.2 did the same thing, crank sensor code, but it straightened itself out after bout hour and a half, been fine since then

try a new cap

recall no. is WXX81 mine was done on 7/10/2001 if that helps any?

mine had a recall '98 leg wagon, for alt

98 leg wagon, my pulley bolt became so loose i could take it out by hand tightened it back up, seems all is well now, but i keep my eye on it 243k miles

thnx

98 Legacy Wagon, 241k on clock, motor puuuurrrrs like a kitten, doesnt leak a drop of oil, my question is: stamping on block is "EJ22" how would I find out if the motor is the original?, thnx

i just did my motor on a 98 leg wagon the wiper arm is def shorter than fronts and i think they changed body design in '94 so the bolts might not match up you have to remove arm, take off plastic cap, unscrew nut open back hatch cover (pop-outs) disconnect fluid hose and elec. conn. and reinstall , 3 bolts on motor just make sure you put the bottom rubber on the right way so you can feed fluid hose through it

same one (short) that illuminates the climate controls
