Child booster seat in '87 GL Wag.?
OREchipmunk78 replied to RainierBeer's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I know here in Oregon it is illegal to use a booster seat with a lap belt. You might call your local police dept. and ask if Wa. has similar laws in effect. -

Ungodly grinding left front
OREchipmunk78 replied to OREchipmunk78's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
So rick what extactly do I do to change this bearing? I'm still new to working on my subie. And just to let you know that once I changed the o2 sensor it was like I put a new tranny in her. Now I just gotta get the noise gone and bleed the brakes right. :-\ -
Well my old Subie is still rolling along, but I am hearing a truly ungodly noise coming from the left front wheel. I just did the brakes thinking that was the problem, but it wasn't. When I had the wheel off the car I did grab the hub and tried shaking it around and it wouldn't move at all( the e-brake was off too). Any way I am wondering if it is wheel bearing or a cv joint or the axle needing replaced. Any Ideas? by the way my Subie's a '87 GL wagon fwd automatic w/1.8L tbi. I also replaced the plugs, wires, cap & rotor, O2 sensor, flushed the tranny, and gave her a fresh oil change. And wow she is like a new car. LOTS of pep again. but now I need to figure out what the god awful sound up front is.

I honestly do not know if its a 4eat or a 3at I know that its probably ready to go out but I'm trying to make it stretch out just long enough till I can get up to see you Rick... It does work great if I manually shift it from first to second and then to drive....Fluid was changed twice in the last six months just to try and work some fresh fluid into it... -
My 87 ea82 runs great but when you shift it to drive and step on the gas it takes a bit before it shifts into gear and starts to go. Any ideas?

I have a '87 GL fwd wagon with the Ea82 spfi and I was wondering what would cause it to run real smooth but be very sluggish between 10 and 25 mph? I mean you can put your foot to the floor but she feels like your not giving it anything....
