outer tie rod
nipper replied to eppoh's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI have had one fail. What gets me with discussions like this is the sillyness of it. You have all the tools out. The car is up in the air, you have the part.You have one off and have gotten the hang of it. Do it. Mine cost me 13.00 each on ebay. It is silly not to spend the extra time just to replace the other side and be done with it. We aren't talking a huge amount of cash here. Penny wise and dollar foolish makes you drive into a tree.

Ignition Key
nipper replied to john40iowa's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWhen I had mine made (I supplied the blanks) the dealer asked me for a reggy or title. i started pulling out the title and he said that was good enough. He didnt look at it but since I had it with me he figured it was right. Another nice thing about the dealer.... you know instantly if it works or not.

Ignition Key
nipper replied to john40iowa's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXComputer coded keys are the dealership. There are online places that do it but i don't trust them. Online dealer swill usually tell you to go to a local dealer as it is faster.

Justy Timing Belt
I know there are a few justy people here... I am going to have to replace the Justys belt soon. the FSM specifies a specific tool. I can find it on the net for 80-100 bucks. That is alot of money for a one-time tool. What are peoples cheats for this, or can I borrow one?

Fuel pump issues... I hope
nipper replied to rainman19154's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThis was actually my first thought. All those fuel pump problems were not all fuel pumps. Vapor lock doesn't exist on fuel injected cars as the fuel is constantly circulating keeping it relativly cool. There is also the fuel pressure regulator as a possibility nipper

95 Outback - Fog Light Removal
nipper replied to Durania's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI did this. Lay down and look up at the fog light .There are two screws that hold the bracket on the car. They will put up a fight. The other way is the three screws that fasten the light to the bracket, but they can be a challange to put back on with the light fastened to the car.

Fuel pump issues... I hope
nipper replied to rainman19154's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWhy does everyone blame the poor innocint fuel pump. Next time it happens remove the gas cap and see if the car starts. If not you need to put a fuel pressure gauge on the system. nipper

Masive oil leak!
nipper replied to Dannomanno's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI had this, it is the oil pump seal. Very bad fix it as it can pump all the oil out very fast. You dont say the miles but do everything while you are in there. nipper

outer tie rod
nipper replied to eppoh's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf you are doing it at home, i suggest doing both sides as they are equally worn. When mine were done we used a big hammer and brute force.

Front end clunking sound over small bumps
nipper replied to Mark W. Martin's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXInner tierods are almost impossible to see wear on, and your tests are all wrong anyway You need to have someone turn the steering wheel while watching the tie rods. Balljoint jack up the car and use a leverage arm. Put it so that it pots upper force on the tire and watch the ball joints for play. You are due for struts. As struts age you get used to them so they feel fine. Mine did too untill i took a highspeed gentleish curve on a highway. In the right the car felt fine. In the left the car was scary. The car felt fine at low speeds (this was high speed, not er um 55). Sounds travel. The paly is normal depending upon how much there is. Inner CV;s make vibrations, outers make noise. What happens when you go from drive to reverse or visa versa.

One more A/C question (charging)
nipper replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHe said he was doing as per the FSM Evacuating & Charging" 3) The charging procedure described in this section begins by charging liquid refrigerant into the high pressure side of the system with the engine OFF. The procedure is completed by charging refrigerant VAPOR into the low pressure side of the system with the engine running.

One more A/C question (charging)
nipper replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou are using a silly 1 lb can from the store. The dealer useses a can that is the size and stronger then a propane tank. No dealer uses 1 b cans. You want to blow your hand off go right ahead. If they do use a 1lb can it is always on the low side. Every other instructions you will find on the net will tellyou IT IS DANGEROUS. Every site, INCLUDING (usually) the can will tell you not to connect to the high side. Just because the manual syas X it is NOT safe to assume the dealer is using the same equipment. They use a very expensive recycling machine that evacacutes refregeriant, cleans it, filters it then pressurizes it in a propane size tank. I have an AC license. You want to blow up the can go right ahead, you have been warned.

nipper replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWTF Are you sure you read that right? You never ever never ever add anything to the system on the high side. This is very dangerous. You can blow up the can or worse. Coolant is always added to the low side. http://www.aa1car.com/library/ac_recharging.htm

Terrible fuel economy and check engine light on
nipper replied to AEROCOOK's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSeafoam. If you like your neighbors go somewhere unpopulated to do it. If you hate them point your tailpipe at them.

Rust bubbles
nipper replied to john40iowa's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI was a litttle surprised as to the size of the hole I had to grind out to get to bare metal. I used a dremel tool and used duplicolor rust conversion spray. My body filler work aint pretty, but the sticker helps hide a lot of sins.
