  1. That's weird that they wouldn't touch your camber bolt on your car. Anyways, I got scared of camber bolts. The moog camber bolts on the second reply of this thread are likely referring to replacement for OEM in the stock slotted hole location, that's not what I'm after. I have those bolts in my struts, but I need ADDITIONAL negative camber to bring my passenger side front and rear into spec. From what I've researched this necessitates aftermarket camber bolts that go into the bottom hole of the strut/knuckle bolt locations, but require very critical and precise installation or I'll risk them failing and losing control of the vehicle under load. Info taken from this thread: http://www.iwsti.com/forums/gd-suspension-handling-and-stiffening/133341-camber-bolt-faq-tutorial.html At this point I'm running slight positive camber on my passenger side wheels only which really bothers me, and I'm not sure if I should just order some aftermarket camber bolts and give it a shot. It sounds like such a fragile procedure. +I still don't know which ones to order lol
  2. Is there a specific size for these things or are they typically a pretty universal part?
  3. Hi all, have a lifted 99 outback wagon (4" lift) and I took it into firestone for the lifetime alignment. They were able to get it within spec for all four toes and the driver side camber, but passenger side camber was just out of spec and they recommended camber bolts. In an effort to save me some coin the tech suggested I buy/install my own camber bolts and bring it back in and utilize the lifetime alignment, otherwise I'd be spending over 200$ in parts/labor. I've heard it's dangerous to use aftermarket camber bolts if installed incorrectly. Would someone be so kind as to recommend me some camber bolts that I can order and offer any tips/advice on installing them SAFELY? Much appreciated.
  4. Hi all, my 99 Outback is pretty annoying. I have my girlfriends 99 outback to compare it to, and her steering is very stiff, returns to center, and is everything I'd want in my steering. Mines at 160k so it's probably got a lot of worn stuff going on in there. Alignment is in check, I'd like to take a weekend to replace out just about everything I should to get my steering feeling nice again. Last weekend I took it on a gravel road and the amount of clunky sounds and bump steer was a horrifying experience. Alignment is perfect btw. So far I've got inner tie rods and a transverse link bushings. Not so sure what the transverse link is but I've read forum posts saying the difference was night and day after changing it out. What else should I go for?
  5. I have a donor outback and two of my wheel bearings are out. Should I just swap knuckles and call it a day?
  6. do you have rubbing issues with fender liners with your hankooks? I threw the same set on my car with a lift and my fronts rub against the fender liners when I turn. Ripped the splash guards out and still having a miserable time ps those arms look insane. talented fabrication we have going on here!
  7. Awesome thank you for that diagram. Appreciate it everyone, happy wheelin!
  8. I like that idea thank you for that. I just went ahead and placed an order for an additional wheel/tire that I'll cycle through. By clockwise I'm assuming you mean if you're looking at the car from a birds eye view, front driver goes to front passenger, front passenger goes to rear passenger, etc
  9. I think I'm gonna pull the trigger. How often are you rotating front to back / side to side? Apologies if this is a dumb question I've honestly never been a good car owner about my tire rotations. I'll be driving this car every day also
  10. I'm going to be running a 215/75/15 mud terrain tire on my outback. I'm tossing around the idea of buying one more tire to have a spare since my donut will be rendered completely useless at this point, but I'm concerned about uneven tread wear if I happen to need to throw the spare on way down the line when the rest of the tires are worn. I'm assuming this is going to do some pretty hard damage to diffs and maybe the tranny. Would you recommend I still order one?
  11. Fair enough. Thank you for the info. Is lengthening the linkages the preferred method?
  12. you da real MVP! Thanks mate! How did you like those tires? Doesn't look like you're running them anymore?
  13. Hey there, sorry if I came acrossed as annoyingly impatient. I was only wondering if there was a forum for lifted subaru guys that gets frequented more then this sub-sub-forum on ultimatesubaru that would, if existed, would have an additional wealth of info on lifting. Anyways I do really really appreciate your info! I ended up going with the Kings because Rallitek actually doesn't carry springs for my Outback, and I've heard nothing but awesome things about the Kings. Just a little hard to get ahold of, AFAIK there's only one US dealer for King Springs that carries them for the year Outback I have (primitive) and they didn't have fronts in stock so I'm paying extra up the butt to have them air'ed to the US from AUS. What exactly needs to be adjusted with the shift linkage for the 5MT? Thanks in advance!
