anyone have a lead on one? friend is traveling through and not looking to get taken on brakes for the 95 legacy. thanks.

and it worked afterward? after pooling PB Blaster around the sensor i'm able to spin it the slightest amount when hitting the metal plate on the backside (where the bolt goes through) with a hammer. unfortunately there is very little room to spin it or strike it due to the hub being in the way :-( i could pound on it from the outside but was afraid to do so. the collar that it sits is in pretty long so there is LOTS of surface area for it to bond! grrrr.... the long bolt that goes through the lateral link, after some serious PB Blaster soaking, came out pretty easily after hitting it a few times with the impact gun. i thought i was home free after that...

hey all. i've got the rear hub in my '96 legacy (AWD/ABS) ready, or almost ready, to come out for a wheel bearing replacement. everything is disconnected with the exception of the ABS sensor. the bolt is out but the sensor itself seems pretty well seized in there. the hub is currently laying with the back of the sensor facing upward and i've sprayed some PB blaster around the edges hoping it will seep in. any tips/ideas? any idea where the closest connector along the cable is and whether it can be pulled though into the wheel well in a worst-case scenario? thanks!

non-interference. t-belt done at 100k (along with all front seals, water pump, reseal oil pump) and again at 165k (5/2009).

Hey Guys. We're buying a new car and I'll be getting a new hand-me-down so it looks like it's time to let my Legacy go. Wondering what I should ask for it. Asking prices on eBay and Craigslist are all over the board and I obviously can't tell what those people are actually getting for the cars. Very few "completed listings" on eBay and I don't know about the accuracy of those anyway. I think a local sale is the way to go one something like this anyway. '96 L Wagon EJ22 5MT 167k Very Clean Maintenance is up to date with records since 99k when I bought it Tires are good I'm located in NorthWest New Jersey. Suggestions - ?

did a quick search and didn't see this posted yet. April 7 Subaru of America has issued a stop sale on all models equipped with the company's 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The stop sale — which affects Forester, Legacy and Impreza vehicles equipped with the engine built in January and February — is due to a potential engine wear issue. According to the stop sale order issued to all U.S. Subaru dealers, in markets outside of the U.S., Subaru has received complaints of an engine knock in vehicles equipped with the 2.5L turbo engine. After investigating, Subaru determined that the engine noise was due to engine wear and has since discovered which batches of vehicles are at risk of being equipped with the faulty component. No U.S. models have been reported to have the problem, but Subaru wants to ensure it's not selling its customers faulty vehicles. The defect is said not to impact vehicles with the naturally aspirated version of the 2.5L or any other displacement engines.

how did you make out with this? hels up so far?

ive got the same problem, i think. unfortunately no solution. i've put 13.x gallons in it, and have never seen the light.

and a few, essentially useless, "technical" specifications... http://www.leftlanenews.com/subaru-forester.html i think the old "wagon" bodies suited the forester better. just my $0.02.

I have only even found (new) the insert that someone linked above, never the entire part required to add the cupholder. Too lazy to source out a used on I guess, but I would imagine you can get one with a little motivation.

what does this conversion/addition cost?

Were LPG (Liquefied petroleum gas) cars produced by Subaru? I saw a few in Prague last week, BK cars, that had an LPG fill point mounted just below the stock fuel door, which was in place. Just wondering if these were aftermarket or OEM. Never saw or heard of one before. edit: i guess there are some DIY conversion cars out there: http://www.sbautogas.co.uk/recent_conversions/pictures/subaru_legacy_outback/subaru%20outback.htm edit: strange. i searched the forum for "LPG" and this did not come up: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=82279 I didn't get any photos of the LPG cars, but here is a cool one I did snap:

Do these super-modern Subarus use CAN? Do you know who makes that system?

but from what I have heard that car is absolutely amazing!

Same here, so I replaced the crank sensor and the cam sensor. Figured they are of the same age and electrically/mechanically similar if not identical so the other was bound to fail eventually too.

I would also love to know. I have the same problem and while I try not to go too low I would still like to have a light just in case! My "manual" signature: -------------- '96 BG 2.2

I don't know what all has WB, but two units is not a problem. I am running a Harman/Kardon TrafficPro up top (good AM/FM + Navigation + good amp) and a Kenwood (MP3 + Sirius). Kenwood PreAmp > H/K Aux-In

Did you post here? I didn't see it over there. -Heikki

Another thread and the connectors I am now using. -Heikki

What kind of a navi? Could you use a suction-cup windshield mount? -Heikki

And do they have the blue tint to the glass or are they clear?

I believe this only applies to the Sylvania-badged SilverStars. If you get the Osram-badged SilverStarts I believe they are NOT overdriven and do NOT have any blue coloring added to the glass. I realize this thread is titled "Sylvania sliverstar ... " but thought I would throw this out there if anyone was interested. -Heikki

I have 140k on mine, 5w30 all year round. Of course I resealed my engine last year and I don't burn much oil. These might affect your oil choice. Just my $0.02. -Heikki
