outer tie rod
nipper replied to eppoh's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
If 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. -
Inner 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.

He 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.

You 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.

I just posted the test. A bad MC can damage the diaphram on a the PBB. A PBB can be a goofy failure. A test for a bad MC is stand on the brake pedal with all your weight and see if the pedal creeps to the floor. Now for other things to look for. An internally failed brake line A weeping brake caliper Glazed brake rotors Glazed pads frozen calipers nipper

heheh love the color, but 6 college students can do that, or four to remove the engine (dont ask how i know)

O2 sensors can get tired without throwing a code. How old is the timing belt (time and mileage))? Do a real tuneup and replace the pcv valve. Check tire condition and look for a stubborn brake slider. Check that the parking brake is not draging (especially after sitting). What exactly is poor gas mileage and what kind of driving do you do?

Isnt that just a wee bit overkill for an angine that is held in by four bolts and removed with a floor jack

Ive seen this many times. Check the simple first (the car is old enough) a bad radiator cap. Check the AC system to make sure it has the proper pressures. Next inspect the radiator for missing fins. If all those are OK check for a clogged radiator. This is the most likely issue if the radiator was not flushed at the time of the conversion. I am going to assume there was a HG issue. The oil+antifreeze+air can make a glue that clogs everything in the radiator. Don't go so much by mileage, go buy age.
