CV clunk
1-3-2-4 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXit's really hard to say but I'm 80% sure it's the drivers side I'm sure it would do it at all speeds but really happens at low speeds like 0-40 MPH because of the needing to shift and pushing the clutch in which relaxes the drivetrain. I'm about to step out here so I'm going to see if I can get some type of sound clip.

CV clunk
1-3-2-4 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXfirst of all the tie rod was shot.. I declined to take a picture because I felt it was not worth it.. but being able to move the rod in up and down in the socket is no good.. plus the boot had been long torn.. Brakes are fine I'm done with those.. Clunk happens if I say snap the throttle close on acceleration Or anything that causes the car to shake front and backwards like a poor shift down. Also I get the vibration in the wheel which I thought it was a bad OFB wheel but I swapped back to front and it still existed. I'm going to try again to get a sound clip maybe if I do pick up something I can amplify it.

1-3-2-4 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXJust an update I replaced both inner and outer tie rods and both balljoints and I still have the clunk and vibration in the wheel. I've been trying to get a sound file but it's not very audible in the car with my mic and in the engine bay the engine is too loud.

1-3-2-4 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXdamn my aliment is off I think I threaded one too many turns on the passenger side to drive straight I have to turn the steering wheel slight to the left. Good thing I have old tires I don't care about

lower balljoint question
I removed the lower bolt for the front endlink and moved that out of the way.. removed the pinch bolt.. removed the castle nut for the balljoint.. Now how do I get this thing out?? It's like glued to the control arm.. I have a ball joint separator and I stood on the bar and it still wont move.

Stuck caliper pin / slide
1-3-2-4 replied to idosubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI know what you mean about those packs of grease.. that's why I picked up the screw on bottle type because I knew I would not have enough (learned with my impreza) it's nice not to get brake judder anymore.

1-3-2-4 replied to idosubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXthanks for the tip on the torch.. I don't use this that much I've had this tank for at least 3-4 years and still have a decent amount left.. the rubber boot never caught on fire yesterday but the PB blaster did flame up but nothing that blowing it out could not handle. I noticed when i got on the highway yesterday anything over like 70 MPH I got some crazy wheel vibration coming from the rear of the car but It has not come back again yet.. maybe it was because of the brake pad and how it was wearing on the rotor with a stuck caliper? These ceramics stop much better then my last pads.. I'm sure they were semi-metallic pads.

brake pads
1-3-2-4 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI was going to use it on the impreza which had rear drum brakes but never got around to it before I junked it. I think I will do the vice grips if I can find my smaller tipped one.

brake pads
1-3-2-4 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI think the cable is suck or not moving freely at the hub because if I adjust the star wheel just enough that when I slide the rotor back on the shoes are in contact with the rotor and then turn it 2 more times and pull the e brake the wheel will still turn. I think my brake hold down spring tool is too large for the springs? It looks like this but has a red handle http://www.summitracing.com/parts/OTC-4591/?rtype=10
