I have a fwd 93 legacy that has about 250k on it. It runs quite well, and I try and keep up reasonably well with maintenance. I have a couple questions and I'm sure some of you gurus can point me in the right direction.
1. It uses a bit of oil. On the order of 1qt per 500-1000 miles. It runs pretty well though, doesn't smoke, and has no apparent leaks. Does this warrant any work? ie rings? seals? Quite frankly, the car has been so good that if I need to do some work to it to get another 200k out of it, I would definitely do that, especially given the fact that it averages around 33 mpg.
2. Steering wheel vibration on braking. I have replaced rotors and pads recently so that is not it. Can it possibly need some bushings. Before I do anything I'm gonna get some new tires, as I know the snow tires on it are shot. I have had it aligned not too long ago as well. What stuff gets loose over time with these cars?
I appreciate any input guys (or gals).
