i think the cold might have gotten to my car.... for no reason one morning, after shutting my door, the peice on the door part, which meets the corner of the window and the side mirror fell off. after looking the three holes which secure in the window cracked and casued the foam and the black interior part to break off. i would just glue it back on but i occasionaly remove my door and glueing would not allow for easy removal. i looked at first subaru parts for "sailfin" but it didnt bring up anything.. anyone know where i can get one of these, and maybe the offical word for the item?? thanks ali

I am having this issue with anything that gets plugged into my cig lighter for power, my laptop or ipod when plugged in and playing either on the laptops on speakers or from the ipod to my stereo creates a loud and annoying hum or poping sound. i noticed that with my ipod, when i accelerate on the gas the sound in turn accelerates and makes a sound that i can only describe as a "turbo winding up"... my thoughts... would i be wrong to assume this is a grounding issue? any input would be appreciated -ali

no matter how long i hold the switch it doesnt move from the parked position, it just seems like it is struggling. and when i do the normal move like you mentioned, the first intermit. works fine along with the rest. so its a switch that has to be replaced??? looks like another thing that has to be replaced....

hey guys, been a long time between posts but school, work, etc etc the problem i have that just happened is the "pull function" on the windshield handle does not work. before this happened the few times i used it would cause the wipers to move an inch or so, then stop, now nothing happens when i use it unless i put the wipers into the auto modes. does anyone have a guess??

looks like not much help in this direction.. oh well took the car to a mechanic... got new axle in for 100, and then from the damage trying to remove the old one the threads on the front end tie rod got damaged (80 includng labor) got my car back today, no clicking, etc etc but on some inclined right turns a loud thump, as if something is trying to settle is heard. any ideas on what this could be? going to call the shop later and let them know.

just to update, we tried to take the old axle out, it was fairly easy considering it was broken into 2 peices. the hardest part was removing the old spring pin from the axle. now the new problem, the car is stuck without the new axle. according to the haynes manual there is no need to remove the rotor, caliper, etc etc in order to get the new axle back in. this is were the problem is, me and my friends could not put the new axle in because of clearance issues. we tried putting both ends in first, but the other end was just shy of being placed correctly. is it just us or should putting the new axle be a little easier. if i cant figure it out its off to a shop and paying $$ that i wanted to save doin it myself. (low budget) thanks for any help

seafoam
theflystyle replied to treeman's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
when reading the details of the seafoam on their website, it lists point after point of what it cleans. http://www.seafoamsales.com/motorTuneUpTechGas.htm i think i might give it a try, after all its only 4 bucks?? -
UPDATE just got back from trying to get the old axle off... with all the right tools except for a 3/16 punch we got stuck at the pin connecting the old axle to the body. i will post pics of the old axle, or whats left of it, never seen one that bad before. and the best part, we have a size 27 (i think) torq screwdriver stuck on the top side of the axle pin. we are going to try to finish it up tomorrow with a decent punch. the torq 27 is stuck in there really good and we couldnt get it out so any ideas would be greatful. -=-=-Needs advice-=-=-

hey board, thought i would share some info for those who wander over to the search, type in drive axle and see how and what can happen if you wait to long. well almost 6 years later, nursing a torn boot, bad axle combination the day finally happened. pulling out of the post office the usual sound (like going up a wooden rollercoaster first hill) was very loud and then the final crack and moan came out. long story short the car is un driveable, and now sitting in the post office lot waiting for the the new axles (sittin in the backseat from CV) to be put in. to make the story better, im at my university 3 hours away from my house and i have to find a way to get this done on my budget. dealers up here in the dc area ask for 220 a side labor. guess the only good thing is that this was something expected, and i was going to drive home tomorrow to change it out but i was a day too short. moral of the story, dont wait for this to happen before you fix your axles ali
