2002 Outbacks - which models had the front seat side airbags? Was it only the limited?

Yikes, you were right - can't believe I didn't think of that! Missing a couple on the front right. Luckily a buddy has a couple here at work, hoping I can get them on and limp it home....THANKS!

Hey Guys, My 02 Outback is making a bit of a rolling, thumping noise when i decelerate - seems to go away under breaking - this is a new one for me and I'm a bit stumped - any ideas?

Overdue follow up - turns out the brand new Duralast starter from Autozone failed after a week - replaced with one from Advanced Auto Parts - so far so good! Thanks for all the tips

GD - I've never tackled much when it comes to electrical - can you walk me through what you are thinking of??

Hey Guys - back again - tested the battery with a multi meter - 12.6 volts - hit the key same click - hooked the battery charger - no go, same click - seems like the click is coming from the brand new starter - could the new starter be bad? maybe a relay issue? any advise would be appreciated, tired of the Subie sitting around...

I hate to ask but where would the relay be located? No time to research, have to take in a middle school play soon (grateful i have another vehicle) - and would a bad relay explain why it starts fine after it drove home?

I just checked all the cables everything is nice and tight - after the drive home starts effortlessly - sure seems like a charging / drain issue but the battery is 6 months old and checked fine at auto zone - GreaseMonkey03 - can't tell because of course it starts now that I'm home - i'm leaning in the direction of throwing a new battery and cables in....Might pick up a multi meter to check for a drain

Well, I thought I fixed the issue with a new starter - started great for three days then after work today, back to clicking - a quick push from some coworkers got me started and headed home - so, new starter, alternator, battery both tested good - Where to go now???

I have a curious starting issue with my 2002 Outback with 230,000 on the clock and new to me,. Did not start one day after work - turned the key, only got a click Got a push and bump started it and drove on home the next morning same thing - just a click - hooked up the battery charger for a boost and it started just fine Battery new, tested good - alternator tested good - all cables good, no loose connections Any ideas before I pull the starter to have it tested??? Thanks,

Greetings - Long time member looking for buying advice - I have to replace my old friend Rubie the Subie - Love this old car and was heading for 300,000 miles (made it to 287,000) but a run in with a deer on the way to work this week changed my plans... So - Looking for a replacment, something in the 10 year old range - anything out there i should avoid??? What's going to be the most bang for my buck? Thanks!

Hey Guys - went with the reman alternator from the dealer - about $80 with a three year warranty....

Looks like I have to replace the alternator in Rubie the Subie (95 legacy wagon) Who makes the best and who do i avoid? Thanks!

my daily driver is a '95 Brighton with 247,000 on it and it just keeps rolling along - I have done my best with U Pull and Pay parts to de-brightonize it - I added the Tech, factory CD player, power-outlet, A pillar speakers - all the factory wiring is in place, just pull the parts and plug them in! Great little car!
