  1. I purchased two cv axles for my 1999 impreza outback sport about three years ago. They were installed by a professional mechanic reknown for his quality workmanship. After only thirty thousand miles, the axles started clicking during turns under acceleration. My mechanic examined them and found that everything was OK externally, but that the joints were probably assembled without enough grease. We used a grease gun needle and injected about 1/2 cup of cv joint grease in each joint. This solved the problem. I think that CV of Ocala should be more careful about the quantity of grease when assembling the joints. If it were not for a very knowledgable mechanic, I would have bought new axles and been out of another two to three hundred dollars. ken moreau:mad: bridge city, louisiana
  2. Harbor freight has a set of bits which are pointed for drilling glass. I'd try these first as they are cheap and are carbide tipped. Try drilling very lightly and give the bits lots of time to get the job done. cardineau
  3. I have jacked the truck on stands and both diffs are working in 4wd lo. nothing working in front or 4wd hi. it is beginning to look like the high range is out in the transmission.
  4. I've tried every kind of position of the fwd lever. The dash light only lights up on 4 lo. and it only lights up the 4wd light when in reverse. Is there also an electrical circuit which activates the transmission or is it only mechanical? Thanks for the help. cardineau
  5. 86 Brat D/R 4 speed tranny. Truck will drive normally in 4wd lo. In 4wd hi truck will not move. In normal front wheel drive truck will not move. No unusual noises. Axles and hubs are OK. Does anyone know anything about this type of problem? Any help would be appreciated. thanks cardineau
  6. Both of my dealers say that the Tribeca is not selling. And I've yet to see one on the road. Maybe they are selling at other locales. I wonder why there are low or zero milage ones on ebay? ... and from dealers! I say they are going to be a flop. cardineau
  7. I don't know about everyone else, but I dislike the new exterior designs of the Tribeca and the new Impreza. Subaru has always represented modern practical design in keeping with high technical performance. These new designs look totally out of concept for Subaru. They look like an appeal to toyota celica yuppies. I believe that this will hurt sales tremendously and these designs will be short-lived. (lets hope) ken moreau cardineau

  12. How do I turn off the EGR warning light in the dash of my 1985 Brat ? I've checked and replaced the EGR valve, but don't know how to cancel the warning light. Thanks cardineau
  13. Hi I'm a new owner of a 1985 Brat. There are two sets of straps on the inside back wall of the cab. Does anyone know what they are for ??? Thanks cardineau
