Anyone hear of this dupont material? http://www2.dupont.com/Automotive/en_US/news_events/article20091005.html Are the usual boots made of rubber? neoprene, nitril, silicon, EDPM? I emailed Dupont & awaiting answer. Where are the billion , long lasting boots, they boast? I'm changing my mind about Dorman, looks like they are universal, & 2 piece? (Not very fond of 2 piece, but maybe I'm too old)

Thanks! I was leaning towards Dorman, lifetime warrenteee? Rockauto had a heart next to the name. I'm not familiar with Beck/Arney, but looks like you do. BTW I see something about rebuilt cv axles, I knew a place that regrinds them & installs larger balls. I personally wouldn't go that route, because I would think the hardness is changed on the regrind surface.

wow, thanks for rockauto tip, the boot prices much better. I saw subiepartsforyou, & saw approx $39 per boot & thought foolish? to not change axle, but now I can justify fixing existing axles, they are still quiet. BUT which brand is the longest lasting? I see in search that some aftermarkets were torn in little time. Any name brand known for quality?

1999 impreza L at front struts are leaking & therefore I hope to replace my self.( best struts for the buck?) Since both sides will be taken apart, should I just put two new axles in at the same time?(since inner boot is torn?) Do they come with boots? Whos last the best for the buck? Also need seals on both sides of tranny front axle output.

deleted , too old.

Ive used 5 lbs & suds on my diesel tank. Doesn't take much.

well I picked up the one at Advance & it looks tweeked/twisted like it was dropped on corner, but no signs off actual damage. Debaiting , & favoring not to install. Dont want to do twice. (lifetime warrentee or not.) Is there any temp sealers that are ok to use to buy time. I told dude at counter , to bring in another & none in stock, nor at distributor! So now after seeing Radiator Barn delivers to door for a better price! Hmmmm, anyone else use the Barn? Feedback please.

That would be the BEST !!!

Most gauges I've got are usually 1/8" MPT or 1/4" MPT , But I need the correct thread to screw into Subie block & on other side of adapter, american standard FIP or MPT . Then I can attach my analogue gauge.

Just found coupon for $50.00 off orders over 150! It worked! here is link. http://www.cheaperseeker.com/sem/Advance-Auto-Parts?t202id=6644&c1=CS_Yahoo_PC_US_Ad1&t202kw=Advance%20Auto%20Parts%20Online%20Coupon

$179 at Advance now. Gonna look for the online order coupon!

1/8 ntp would not be any problem but I thought it was a 1/8 british thread size? Neither one makes sence on a jap car anyhow!

This new to me 2.2 has the same slight knock at idle, especially in gear (lower rpm) But I changed everything at once. Oil/filter, TB and pulleys & waterpump, thermostat, drive belts, and flushed AT tranny last. I didn't notice mine either before all the work. But I still wander if the guy I bought it from had a bunch of additives in oil to silence it? Other than that it runs great!

I for one wish there was a roomy 3 row seating awd subie. I have an 97 Odyssey & love it! But wish it were AWD. I understand Japan has AWD Odys.

I ordered from a place out of ph book on a 800#, for my 97 honda odyssey. I compared it to the one in van & looked way wimpy. Did not want to chance the install (I complained) & they refunded my $. So I went to my Advance auto prts , & asked to look at replacement & it looked looked OE or a great copy & they have lifetime warrentee. So I took it & thats been a little over a year ago with no problems. In that same time I replaced my Ford diesel powersrtoke with another Advance radiator & I am pleased. My .02 On edit; I just looked at replacing head light bulbs & saw green weeping at top crimp of rad, & not the upper hose leaking down. Bummer! Looks like I'll be calling tomorrow am for a rad also. Wish there was a way to tighten crimps.

I often wandered if the grease attracts the dust?

I had a CEL, Used the Advanced auto knock sensor & no CEL now & more pep!There is a coupon link somewhere for $20 off at Advance.

Is this an easy to find adapter? I cant recall ever seeing such, but I never looked either.

Thank you, & I agree about the 5w-30, but I have 144k on odo, & dont know what the PO did for maintenance. Does anyone know what thread is on the sensor, so I can just swap out with proper gauge adapters, 1st time, without taking apart & chasing parts.

Cool! Resell the old boxes to the kids with the big fart cans on the exhaust tips!

Is this sensor location, a good place to try a manual gauge? If yes, What are normal pressures for a 99 2.2? (warm idle) ever since I changed TB & waterpump & all pulleys, & changed oil /filter, (10w30Castrol & OE filter)Seems like there's a slight thunking at idle, & more noticeable when put in drive. (due to lower rpm?) Old oil was nasty from the PO, maybe they doctored oil up to hide sound for me, the sucker?

I was messing around with a spare parts car I bought & one off the phillips screw heads at filler, was buggered up. I simply drill off head.

Someone else posted this & I also replied, because I have the same, mine sounds like a turbo, when accelerating, but I dont have a turbo. No one seemed to have an answer.

Wow! Nice clean job! What was the choice of poison that worked so well?

I just got a sedan impreza not long ago, had a green door like yours on the car which is silver. Got lucky and found junk yard with a silver door. Couldn't help notice, the doors on my sedan look like they would fit your sport??? Anyone know if this is the case?
