It sounds like you have the exact same thing as my 96 auto legacy. I thought it was kind of weird/annoying when i bought and took it to subaru to check it out. supposedly it's the front axle shafts being slightly to much in or out of tolerance. As far as subaru new it had no ill effects except for the vibration you feel. It will go away supposedly if you change your half shafts BUT you can't buy remanufactured ones you have to buy the replacement ones they make ( don't know the part #, sorry) But it's just supposed to be only the front axles that have the problem. -Mitch-

I'm gonna get the open air filter (10 bucks @autozone) because it's almost as cheap as a paper replacement and i know of people who have documented that they got slightly better gas mileage. Otherwise i would never buy one because of the "riceboy" image attached to them. I'm not really sure what you mean by if you're talking about complete gimmicks like the Tornado or Z-Max then yeah i agree, but not with things like Intake manifolds, Heads, Headers etc. Those mods do give gains in HP and torque. But that's just me rambling -Mitch-

I just bought a 96 legacy wagon, I want to get as good of gas mileage as possible out of it, does anyone have any suggestions how i might go about doing this? I'm planning on putting on an open element air filter and doing a tune up. Anyone have suggestions for mud flaps? like to get some but not sure where they have them or if i'm gonna need to make them. This seems like a pretty good board BTW -Mitch-
