Hi guys .i got a 97 legacy with the 2.5 and it jumped time .and bent 2 valves .so i have tooken off the heads and did a complete valve job and got all new timeing gears (the whole timeing kit) when i took off the old belt it was loose I am hopeing thats the problem not so loose that its floping in the wind .ya know what i mean .the tencener was all the way out and frozz.so my question is what elce should i be looking for so that it doesent jump time .I am going to start putting it back togeather tomorow in the afternoon if its not raining .what do you think?

yep it is running awsome and driveing awsome .the end links were shot .changed them no clunking and handles awsome.had to put new roters on shaking like crazy when putting brakes on .worked well and lubed up pins .well have a good one just letting you all know :burnout:

its all fixed the end links were gone .put new ones in and all better :burnout:

I have a subaru legacy 2.5 gt .i am realy looking for the 2.5 decal or sticker to put on the back fender .intrested in lots .thanks

its in the front ..in the back I got to to do the struts I can hear them squeak when I higt a bump just right.i checked all the springs and there all good .

yep its the end links .i had a freind push the car up and down and side to side and yes they are bad .

does it clunk bang every time you hit a bump and then when your going down the highway it just doesent feel right like it sways a little ?..this is a yes or no ?

:banghead:if you guys know the next question ..please just anser ..
