What kind of knock? Does it change with speed, cv axles are easy to diagnose. Check the boots, the click upon turning. subaru are known for leaking engines. My current 2006 leaks oil which drips onto the catalyst thus burning, i have to set my heater onto recirculate otherwise i can smell it, my 1996 also suffered this problem. Axle grease burning is a far more wretched smell. Calm down on replacing the whole "rear end" Could be wheel bearing or brake caliper What kind of noise and when and how??

In the link fairtax supplied, the technition mikeV explains it's an empty connector that would have something to do with tire pressure. This particular year was not equipped with that option. This empty connector is located in a prime spot for corrosion, it sits under a heating duct on the floor, if anything is spilled on the front corner of the drivers seat it's going to find this open connector

I would like to replace my carpet in my 2006 outback 172,000 miles The fitted carpets are too pricey Just wondering if anyone has any tips on type of carpets I could use, and techniques I'm not looking for a factory finish, just fresh shag I replaced the carpet on a van I had years ago It was a cinch, cut to fit, spray adhesive, molded nicely, not as many contours as my car Any thoughts appreciated

I'm ready to undertake the engine swap. My 1996 outback has about 350000 miles, speedo broke years ago. What kind of engine hoist do I need to buy? Donar car is an hour away and must stay there for parts. I know I need a 2.2 manual computer, do I need to change the fuel pump? What about wiring harness???

doesn't mean we have the same problem sounds like you are throwing money at your issue i have a hard time with electrical issues (never again VW) thats why i took her to the trusted shop in my neck o woods he replaced an ignition-VR wire and re-connected some ground wires "Free" cause i buy tires for all four vehicles there he also replaced the choke heater wire at a separate time learning how to ask the right questions and a little patience will pay off HUGE on the USMB i would try to find a wiring diagram and check to see if yours is all connected i wasted $20 purchasing a volt meter, and a lot of time thinking I'll figure it out just to drive to the shop frustrated and defeated, and he fixed it for free:banghead:
