  1. I saw one of these models the other day it looked like a 2nd gen. sedan with a very high ground clearance...Anyways just wondering what the SUS stands for on the rear trunk area?...Was this some sort of special edition? Thank you in advance for you time and knowledge....
  2. The rust spot is extremely small.....not even the size of a small cell phone......i do understand were you are coming from.....it is just an eyesore to me.....and i want to take care of it before it does become a safety concern.
  3. thanks for all your help guys.....i got the car in the air today and the job doesnt look that difficult.....unfortunatley i must wait until i have the time and money.....nonetheless thank you
  4. I did change the trans fluid when i did the clutch about 7000 miles ago.....i did notice alot of metal on the drain plug and it was kind of brownish......
  5. thanks again sir.....ill do a few of those tests tomarrow after work:)
  6. thanks alot JT95 i am working up to be a mechanic not a body guy so every bit of body knowledge helps.....that does seem pretty easy.....its a hole about the size of a cell phone so its not that bad but i want to take care of it before it gets worse......whenever i have the time i will give it a shot......
  7. oh in that case......thank you very much WA...i was just thinking becuase i did the clutch and flywheel not 6 months ago....and nothing was happening than.....the car has a hard 186,000 miles so i really dont want to put a new trans in it.....i will have to research and get money before i attempt but thanks again for info. OH just one last question.....Is it just time and wear that makes the viscous coupler go bad? ....if im backing up making a turn and the noise comes on....i have to like floor it to move the slightest inch.
  8. well the thing that is weird is that it only occurs in the last half of a complete turn....(if i turn slightly it doesnt happen) I have checked the ball joints and they are both ok.......I do need trailing arm bushings rear sway bar links and bushings and a rear drivers side axle shaft (torn boot) do you think any of these things could contribute?
  9. is that hard to replace or is it worth just getting a new trans?.....besides that noise the trans shifts perfectly
  10. thanks for your help guys... yeah tires do all match perfectly.....where does the torque bind occur the transmission or the rear differetial?.....
  11. ok i have a 96' legacy 2.2 with a 5 spd and for the past few weeks i have been getting a pretty nasty vibration when i turn that makes its way all around the car ( can feel it in the seats). i know what a CV joint sounds like and it definately is not that....even though i do have a torn inboard rear boot....but anyways i also noticed that sometimes i have a screaching of the tires when i go around corners when i get the noise.....My first and actually only thought is the rear differential.....the car has 186,000 miles.....anyone else ever have these symptoms?
  12. thanks for the info. fellas! I just need to do something it is getting worse pretty quick....
  13. I have a 96' subaru legacy sedan ej22 and was wondering if the drivers side rocker panel is replaceable as a unit?....i currently have a pretty large rust hole in it and i really dont want to pay a body shop....the prices are outrageous! thanks in advance for your help fellas!
  14. Im not to much for the looks either..... I have heard that the body is significantly stronger though.....
  15. Wow! I have been looking for a subaru specialty tool site/store FOREVER......Thanks Man!
  16. jack the vehicle up.....you really dont have to remove the wheels but it may make it easier...as long as the weight of the vehicle is off the ground than its pretty straight forward....unbolt the old and bolt in the new....while you are under there i would also do the sway bar bushings. :)
  17. I was having the same problem...low fuel light didnt come on at all in ACC but i do believe i have seen it on before though....thank you so much for the info...the photo is very helpful also...
  18. Does anyone outthere have a clutch and band application chart for a 96 legacy ej22 4eat auto trans. i have tried ALLDATA and Mitchell OnDemand and all around the internet and cant find anything.....thank you in advance for you time and knowledge.
  19. I think that is pretty cool to see some of the newly developed systems work...especially the one were they were climbing the hill!
  20. thank you..i did a few searches but didnt really find anything concrete...alot of "possibly's" and "it could's".....I have also searched =extensively for a 1996 4eat clutch and band application chart. Do you have any idea were i could find one?....thank you again for your help.
  21. I have a 1996 legacy 2.2 with a 5 spd....any insight on the different final drive ratios that were offered that year???
