What? I thought clunking noises on a subaru is normal... lol I have cheap cv's on my car with no problems yet. Definitely better then the old worn ou ones I had on it before. My car is lifted 2" so the drivelines are at kind of crazy angles and they still dont make too much noise. Now other suspension components make noise in my car, Its definitely worth crawling under there to look for worn out bushings or rubber mounts to replace. It would sure help your car drive nicer. Good luck!

If I can somehow fix the front camber issue and get some new front tires, i'll definitely be up for some wheelin!

Just flipped 220k on my loyale.

This very well could be. It seems to run rich and get less then average fuel mileage. I will hook it up to a scan tool and see what that tells me.

I have a ej22 in my 92 loyale. It runs good other then it idles really high. It usually idles between 1700-1900 all the time, from startup to fully warm. It was showing no codes before I started messing with it. When I unplug the IAC valve, the idle drops down to around 1100 but the engine starts to run really rough and it has a pretty bad dead spot. What would be the procedure to solve such a problem? I already checked for codes after, all it gave me was code 24 from when I unplugged the valve. Thanks for the help.

One more quick question, does anyone know where I can get the solenoid contacts for the starter? Mine are worn out and need to be replaced. If anyone knows where to get them, or even just the size I need, that would be a big help. Its just a ea82 starter I believe. Thanks

I fixed my control arm, radius bar, new balljoints, and new halfshafts. Now I just need to fix the camber. That is the exact problem, the control arm is at a bad angle and its seriously affecting camber. The tires on it are now unsafe to use, but I don't want to buy new ones until I fix the camber issue. Just curious how others have fixed it. I actually got the car from Scott, so I will send him a PM. He has been extremely informative for me in the past. As for the lift I believe its this http://www.sjrlift.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=191&category_id=6&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=100054. Thanks for the responses guys!

I have a '92 loyale with a 2" SJR lift and EJ22 in it. It has a few problems, I broke a lower front control arm yesterday turning around and bumped a curb. Ok, it must have been cracked, but i'm wondering if there is a way to make the frontend stronger on these things. Also, my front wheels have MASSIVE positive camber. Its ridiculous and I cant afford to have another lift built for the car right now, not to mention replace the tires that are bald on the outside but brand new on inside. Heres a pic of the car, you cant really tell it has bad camber because of the broken control arm but you can see how the tire is worn. Maybe modify the strut tower? I dont know. Anyways, thanks guys.

Some guy brought a jeep into a shop I was at that had the tube bumpers welded up and those were the air tanks. He said the ac pump is the compressor so it is possible. Another interesting idea they used to do back in the day. take a boxer 4 aircooled vw engine and turn two of the cylinders into air pumps that are powered by the other two. If your interested its the volks air kit by dunn right inc.

No ideas on the struts? It needs them very bad and its my daily.

Only thing left I have to do is temp gauge and oil light. I have a 270 ohm resistor, but dont know which wire is the correct one for the gauge. I have searched the internet and I couldnt find a diagram that tells what wire does what for a '92 loyale. Also, what kind of struts can I use for this thing? It needs new ones pretty bad, and im wondering if theres some struts other people prefer over just stock ones. Thanks

I am missing the bushing for the radius arm on my '92 loyale. I am wondering what you guys have done to fix this as I cant find the part anywhere in town. I called 3 parts suppliers and none of them could get the part. Thanks

It is definitely AWD. I stated its a auto in the first post. It has no fuse in the fwd holder, one of the first things I checked when I noticed the problem. I have had this car for maybe 6 months so its not real new to me. I don't think the awd ever worked since I got it, It just took until now to post about it. What exactly broke on your car? I did jack up the rear wheels to see if I could get them to spin, but that didn't work, ad I didn't know if that was a legitimate test for the awd.

I have a auto '95 legacy awd. The awd does not work on it, it spins the fronts only on gravel or any other low traction surface. I am wondering how to diagnose the problem as the winter months are coming. Thanks

First of all, Nice car. I have always liked the white with gold theme on the newer subarus. I have one question though, why do you want to keep it fwd? There is really no advantage at all except fuel mileage, AWD is superior in almost every way... Maybe it will just take one ride in a AWD subi to realize it, but in the end, I think you would enjoy that path much better. The best part is you can make your car AWD if you want to bad enough. Whichever you choose, good luck, and again great looking car

Welcome aboard. I am in tumwater. Good to see another member from this area.

Oh yeah im loving the car. Had a few problems and fixes. Just replaced all the front brakes. Hooked up all the gauges and did a few other things. Plans for it are possibly more lift, tube bumpers some bigger tires and maybe a few more bells and whistles. I tested some articulation today, I was quite surprised it made it up on here with all 4 still on the ground.

Another question I have is how can I straighten out the camber of the front wheels? They have positive camber and are wearing the tires very unevenly.

Just let me know. Iv been wanting to go with some subaru guys. I even drove up a small hill at work haha

Yes, its lifted 2". I'll jack up the car and spin the wheels to see if I can find it. It also has a welded rearend. Might have something to do with that also.

The problem I see with that is it only makes the sound in 4wd. Even in 2wd the driveline is spinning. But I will crawl under there and look for something unusual.

My loyale has a d/r 5 speed swapped into it. I noticed recently that it has a not loud but noticable clunk sound that repeats for what sounds like every rotation of the driveline. It only does it in 4wd. If its in low range, or high. Does not do it in 2wd. Any ideas? Thanks

Sounds like fun. I live too far away to help you out though. I'll keep an eye out for donor cars though. I know the pick a part here in tumwater has some good subaru stuff. Let me know what your looking for and i'll go see if they have it.

So our little wheelin trip never happend. I have another lifted subi. Lets get something together.
