Yes it was a Subaru brand

I have a 2001 forester and the check engine light was on went to auto zone and had it scaned and needed the 02 sensor front one so I replace it. Then 2 months later check engine came on again, had it checked and it ran a coed P0420 with 3 different causes,1 Rich A/F ratio, 2 Ignition system malifuction, 3 Faulty catalytic converter. Any advice on which on and what to do? Thanks, Roger

I`m changeing out all the wheel bearing in my 2001 forester. I noticed the cv boots on the inner front are split so as I`m inspecting them I noticed a slit play in and out of the outer cv joint not any play in twisting it back and forth though. Is this standard to have a slit play in and out? They were changed about 40,000 miles ago. Thanks, Roger

Thanks Mike, yes I would like to talk to you about it on the phone. And give me a good time to cal. Thanks, Roger

ok, thanks I`m useing the subaru brand bearing and seals(haven`t ordered yet) I thought the bearing was one peice, you say it has an inner and an outer race? and is there 2 seals on the inner and 1 on the outer? And I`ve read where you need to use the threaded bolt style bearing/race/seal kit to slowly push in and out, but you use the driver style kit? where you tap with a hammer? next I`m need to do the front, how is it different? Thanks so much for your help!

Hello, I`m about to change out the wheel bearing in the rear on my 2001 forester. Does any one know where I can rent a wheel bearing puller kit? Or does anyone have one I can rent or buy? Thanks, Roger

So what was the roar?

Ok, thats gentlemen!

I have a 2001 forester with 97,000 miles on it. How do you know when the wheel bearings are bad, because it`s making some road noise? Thanks, Roger

I looked and forgot to connect the fuel swich, it`s all good now!, Thanks

I`ve replaced my 01 forester engine with one from LKQ, so I know they tested it, but now that I`ve put it in, it won`t start up or even hit. I know I had at least half a tank of gas in it, ( it set up for 2 months befor I put the engine in) But now the gas gage is showing empty with the light on. Is there a fuel pump reset button/fuse or something? Please help? Thanks, Roger

Yes, I haven`t gotten a answer to this question. Does anyone know the torque ft. lbs on the 2001forester flywheel manual?...the crankshaft bolts and the bolts on the back of the flywheel that holds that thin plate to the flywheel. Thanks, Roger

The bolts on the back of the flywheel 2001 forester that bolts the plate to the flywheel, what type of socket fits it?, it a strange head.

Yeah, I should have the bolt ring turned about 1/16, because theres only 1/16 clearence between the bolts and the clutch springs. So as the clutch wears it could get into the bolts. So that 1/16 less in thickness than a new one flywheel wont interfer with the clutch padle or anyother operation? Thanks
