I have a 94 legacy sedan the windsheild and back glass are broken. I don't want to give up on the car. I need to know what make or model cars have windsheilds or back glass that I can put on my car so that I don't end up getting the wrong ones from a junkyard or the Internet.

'84 fsm p. 9-28
NOTE: After tightening the nut to the specified torque, retighten further within 30* until a slot of the castle nut is aligned to trhe hole in the axle shaft.
Torque 196 Nm 20kg-m, 145 ft-lb
have had no failures or issues
Ok Thanks alot now i feel confident enough to put my axle back in. Just curious but what does fsm stand for and do you know where i might get may hands on a actual service manual, you know something other than haynes haynes has so many dicrepences and refers to going to professionals to much.

oh my bad. See around here if you dont fix what you got, and most cant afford new, you have to buy other peoples problems and fix them so that you have something. Good luck to you and your quest for a new ride, anything from virginia will have the cancer. I have not found one for a decent price that when on a lift, and poking with a screw driver didnt come up with at least 4 holes.

Why replace it? why not fix the exhaust and ride it. How can the officer say anything about rust on the car. I have never heard of a officer writing on a ticket anything about how rusty a car is. Is there a screwed up law up there in maine. I have seen cars in virginia and in tennessee That you could Throw a cat through the rust holes. I have been behind a car and seen trash fall on the road out from under them. They had a hole in the floor board big enough to dump trash. Personally i weld and bondo and fiber glass my holes.

The 145 foot-pound or more torque spec on the castle nut front axle, are you all sure that it wont hurt the bearings. Did you get it out of a repair manual? I know I have to trust advice at my own risk, Because the haynes repair manual does not even have a torque spec on the castle nut for the front only for the rear. I need the front torque spec. This will be the second wheel bearing change in 6 months (last time i just impacted it on). At 75 dollars a pop i definatly want to do it by the book, or by experienced advice that have had the bearing last at least a year. No offense to anyone

Just for my curiosity, i have heard that the split boots often leak. I have never tried them if you do. Say how they work maybe.

Personally my AC does not get cool at all, and i hate the heat:mad: . But i would never sink even 50 dollars into the thing:eek: . I use the windows esspecially in winter, nothing better than having the left side of your head numb:cool: . I haven't had enough time for myself to yank the thing out yet and to find a right sized belt or figure out how to mount my alternator. But once i do the sucker is out of there:grin: . By the way AC's tend to give me a splitting headache from hell in no time.

My 89 wagon noticed a drop in 2 miles to the gallon from 32. All because of wheel bearings starting to go out. The rumbling noise is first symptom. I just ridem till i get the slight shakes.
The junk of my life is a chevy s10 it droped to 12 mpg i checked and replaced and checked again. in the end it was a pin hole leek from the bottom of the gas tank. SLOW BUT LEATHAL. So if you ain't allready checked for fuel leaks might be a good idea. IF it aint the carb or bearings.:-\ -
I have a spfi e82 1800 5sp pushbutton 4wd wagon it gets 32mpg on 87 octane:cool: . Someone told me that my new hatch should get around 50mpg:banana: , i have not yet got it tagged so if any hints can be made it would be much apreciated.
When i bought it i hoped it would do better than my wagon. -
How many miles per gallon might a 86 hatchback std get? 4sp manual trany, no fwd, original carb, 1600 engine, runs good, no power steering, still has AC works good. So far using 89 octane can i use 87 octane or will that mess something up.

It is really nice though that even if it does not have these components it still has the essential guts of wires and recognizable hookups. 
However in intermittent setting the wiper will out of nowhere have a hicup the wiper goes to wipe and stops, after 2 seconds it restarts and acts normal. It only happens once in awhile So I can live with that.

WOW i like the black snake. see, i would actually take the discovery of a three foot black snake in my car rather well. I had a terrifying encounter with a six foot black snake that crawled into my living room from a cabinet speaker it had curled up in.. the speaker sat on the patio as we were moving in for a day or two.. and then came into the living room. i was going to sleep that night on the couch, and suddenly that big black TV cable started moving (i was six..)
but that black snake became our friend (100 yr old wood farmhouse) and like you said, no mice :- ) so i am kind of superstitious in a good way about black snakes.. but to hell with the spiders. kill em all. i know we would all die from a cloud of insects but i dont care. im sorry, im not afraid of very much, and i hate almost nothing... but spiders are on both lists, and theres nothing else in the world i can say that of. i scream like a little girl at them, no lie.
I like Black snakes too, but around here there is a snake that looks like a black snake and that is a black racer. at a glance they are identical but the racer is more poisonous and that bugger will chase you.
So when i first saw this one i jumped to a good distance:banana: and pestered it till i was surtain it was just a black snake.

Well you all i figured it out. I went back to the junk yard and looked into the subaru rx that i got the switch out of and hanging from a bunch of wires was a very familiar blue hookup attached to a gray box marked wiper control. It was to the right of the steering column. I disconnected it and found mine on my car, mine had a male blue end with a green wire shorting from one side to the other, i hooked the wiper control to it and the wipers know work like a charm. The unit only costed me $5.00, The entire steering column switch unit costed $10.00, So a reasonable 15.00 to go from 2 speed to 3 speed wipers. I am so happy that i did not have to replace any wires or the wipermotor.
Thanks a load for all the info.

If you ask me you are lucky to have just a little spider. Today i went to replace my u-joint and fount a 3 foot black snake, and it has been in the under works of my car for atleast a week. It has shed its skin twice, one above the muffler heat sheild, another in the support pipe. I would say i have hauled it around atleast 500 miles so far.:cool: But i dont have to worry about pesky mice.

this maybe late, but i use a 1/4 inch wide zip tie the longer the better. i believe the with is important to provide a good seal. just wrap around and give a good tug with a pair of pliers if it breaks try another.
i buy packs of them because i cant seem to keep enough in the garage. -
There is an "intermittant wiper unit" located way up under the dash burried in the back somwhere. As mentioned it's sort looks like a flasher unit. I don't know if your harness would even have the plug for it however. Worth a look I suppose, but since no DL ever came with Int. wipers, I would imagine the harness support for it wouldn't even exist as I also doubt it was even a dealer option. You may have to run the wireing yourself.
GD
I was not sure it had the intermittant unit since it did not have the option. So i will try to find that. I did check the wire harness during installation and the only wire missing was the horn, and i did a pro job at that cannibalization. What really worries me though is if the computer mattered. I worry because i recently found out that the Horn clock and hazard fuse(when it blows) makes my car seem like the computer is dead.

I decided to upgrade my wiper options on my 89 dl wagon to include the intermediate option. I replaced the wiper and light switches on the steering column with one that had the intermediate option.
But there has to be more that i have to change i know that, However i do not know what. Some suggestions would be nice. I hope the computer has nothing to do with it. Please help my manual does not even mention what controls the intermiediat wiper setting.:-\ -
what is the green color code for the 94 loyale any help will be greatly appreciated.
