  1. Had a tree limb fall on our hood Cracked the hood a bit, but also cracked / split the top of the air filter housing (where the filter is now exposed). I really only need the top half of that housing, found one online for a 1998 Legacy (but doesn't specify if it's from a wagon) but does say 2.2. Would this fit? Does anyone have a clue on that? Are they interchangeable? Thanks in advance! 1999 Subaru Legacy Wagon 2.2
  2. 1999 Subaru Legacy Wagon: Hit a curb slightly while making a tight slow turn, guess the curb was wedged under Driver Front side and when backing up, it pulled the corner off, stripping the bolt holes. This is the wife's car - didn't realize how low to the ground everything is. Her model looks like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4f/Subaru_Legacy_30th.jpg So yeah, looks like the bolt holes are now stripped. The front left is seperated from right in front of the wheel and then a bit wrapping over into the front side. How difficult is it to repair / pop back into place? If I bring it to a small shop, would they be able to create some new holes to secure everything pretty easily? Or do I need to take this to a body shop (gulp). Car has 126k on it so I really don't want to spend a lot and just want it to be secured - then I can put some touch up paint on it. Any advice appreciated!!
  3. Thanks for that. Snowing badly here, considering bringing it into the shop my friend owns. Can anyone give me a rough estimate on what a "decent" cost would parts/labor for 1 O2 sensor parts/labor and the ball joint parts and labor if I have to go into the shop? Thanks!
  4. i have a 1999 Legacy, I believe: 2.2L 2212CC H4 FI VIN: EJ22E I am told I need an 02 sensor and a driver side front ball joint replaced. How do I know which 02 sensor I need? Will the code tell me since I think there are 2 on the car, right? There are a bunch on here and look very different: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/subcategory_oxygen-sensors_16466?isAllVehicle=false&showTitle=&vehicleIdFromReq=41459&vehicleIdSearch=41459 Same thing with the ball joints, I see there are only 3 listed, any recommendations? http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/PartSearchCmd?storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&pageId=partTypeList&suggestion=&actionSrc=Form&langId=-1&searchTerm=ball+joint&vehicleIdSearch=41459&searchedFrom=header Looking to do this myself with a mechanic friend - any ideas on hours of labor to do both of these? Thanks SO MUCH for the help!!!
  5. Hey all - in need of new struts. The front ones are apparently REALLY bad, but going to do all 4 and get them over with. Can someone in the know help me confirm part #'s for Monroe strut assemblies and strut mounts? 1999 Legacy wagon 2.2 There seem to be a million choices (without air suspension, etc). I have ABS if that helps. Trying to order the correct ones w/o issues. There is a sale on Monroe struts near me and I'd like to get them before that goes away. Thanks SO MUCH in advance!
  6. Thanks guys. Yeah, got the parts, I don't fully want to mess with it. Been hearing / feeling some clunking going over bumps etc, and there is definitely play in the wheels - so this seems like a good bet. I appreciate it - just wanted to make sure $100 for labor on this was good to go.
  7. 1999 subaru legacy - How hard are these to do? i got both left and right side inner tie rod parts for $60. Was quoted $100 to install - does that seem "reasonable"? Thanks!
  8. I will check that all. The left side "works" but sounds like crap. The right side is just basically out (I can hear just a little sound).
  9. I have a regular legacy wagon (not OBW). And because the head unit is after market, there is no amp attached to it. I am wondering if there is an external amp somewhere I don't know about and it's blown. Going to check under the seats later tonight. I just don't think this could be a speaker issue. i am thinking there is an amp somewhere, or a messed up ground wire somewhere.
  10. I would agree with this assessment - but that's why I was wondering if there was an amp. The speakers are stock as far as I know. The headunit was aftermarket, but if there is an amp, I have no idea where it is (never seen it). It was my first though (amp) but not sure how to determine if there is an amp somewhere. If it's not a stock amp, then I don't think there is one.
  11. That's a very good idea, though this is a wagon, so the rear speakers are still in the doors. Which is why I am not sure what the hell changed all of a sudden. Really, my wife said it was after she got gas, and things were just crazy after that. Not sure what would have caused that. Definitely NOT the head unit. I don't mind replacing speakers, but seems odd they would have blown. Wire short seems plausable, but not sure even where to start with that. I guess it IS possible there was a blown "right" side and speakers are going haywire, but I really figured this would have been a head unit or amp issue. With no amp in the stock system for the aftermarket head unit to go through, I am lost.
  12. Basically, everything on the left side plays at a low level (cd, aux, am/fm). Right side can barely be heard. When the volume is raised a bit higher, there is distortion on the left side - when raised a bit past that, it leads to a jarring high pitch squeeal that cannot be stopped unless the car is turned off. Keep in mind, this all just happened all of a sudden. No problems for over a year and then this - I am kind of lost.
  13. I agree with you. my point is, that I tried a different head unit today and still had the same issue! So I need to locate the issue cause the problem and go from there. Since it sounds like I don't have a stock amp in the car, I am getting a bit confused as to what it can be. Certainly I can put new speakers on there, but I have a feeling it's not that. Gonna take the speakers out and inspect it next weekend as it sounds like I need to pull the interior of the door off to look at the speakers.
