    2005+ outback/legacy starts the newer tripod style axles."

     

    Gary when youre saying knock the tone ring off you mean with a hammer? :)
    The thing is when Ive been looking around at various locations to get them or brake parts too

    I cant for the life of me figure out where the actual ABS ring is located. Do you need to make sure

    to get ABS and AWD drive compatible or theyre all pretty much so?

    Wondering I need at least one toot sweet.

    Oh and one more thing is there a diffrence between the AT and MT shafts?

    Thanks

    I had one a 97 I think I just didn't check coolant and it evaporated over time and overheated etc. I sold it for 350 to some guys they fixed and resold for 1000 I saw it driving years later. Also one thing to watch for is the short tubes on cooling system there's one I think it's bypass to thermostat that if it goes looks like hole in back center of radiator. I wasted 300 on that once and hahahaha didn't even get home across street from shop already hot again. I didn't even take it to them fixed hose myself.

    But I have a say your whole thread here is making me feel real good about my dream 95 2.2 with 150k for 2500 recent purchase.

    Is this worth it? EJ22t high milage

    i was looking at a much newer legacy probably 2010 it was some 4500? or less  i wondered why so cheap then i researched about the turbo it turns out if you dont maintain it change oil etc it will i guess destroy itself. that doesnt seem to be a problem here it all comes down to how you liike it its pretty much money for a 92. that said i just bought a 95 for 2500 and its my fifth, all from the 90s, its the best ive had yet. :)

    So then this noise happened...

    1995 Legacy 2.2 5 speed MT

    Just thought id throw this out there.

    Today its very cold out for texas.

    Recently ive heard this like clicking noise in the front like once per wheel revolution when in gear and slowing down.

    And the abs lights been on intermittently.

    They put me on a job where im supposed to drive about two hours each way (right).

    So i have to go there this morning and i leave real early to get badge there and make sure im early.

    The car is driving fine really well in fact, i just put new tires on it, and after an hour of driving i stop in a gas station to get coffee,

    and when i came back out and starte driving a mile or few later im getting this vibration it sounds and feels like its from the right front or drive up there. Its really bad like a cv joint has totally gone and its getting worse,kind of a pulsating rolling vibe after i accelerate in each gear. Its only when its in gear and driving or accelerating if i push in the clutch it goes away, then its smooth. it was getting so bad I didnt think it would make it to a gas station even.

    I pull over and call my boss and eventually AAA, im gonna be towed all the way back to houston, so im messing around with it a little,backing up to try to brake and see if it releases im thinking its maybe a frozen caliper, and then trying to drive again its still doing it. Sothen i was resigned to AAA and i sat there a good while,then i thought to try using emergency brake in reverse so I back up (it doesnt do it in reverse at any time) and stop with emergency, and then it suddenly can drive ok. I drove it all the way back home. Never used emergency brake now though. Cancelled AAA call.
    But now the ABS light is permanent. Also i should say the emergency brake when you release it its not tight to the floorboard its kinda loose.

    Anybody have any thought before I take it in what it could be?

    Frustrating on a month old purchase but at least i wasnt driving crosscountry. Yet. :)
