Wheel bearing? Front end clunk
nipper replied to charm's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThis is an automatic. Put the fwd fuse in the fuse holder, see if the problem goes away. Check all the tires to make sure they are equally inflated. When exaclty do you get the clunk, and i mean exaclty, speed rpm diretion of the car. Do you get the clunk going from drive to reverse? nipper

01 OBW: Series of Questions (AWD, CEL, Suspension.etc)
nipper replied to gofargogo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX1 - The subaru is biased to the front of the car. The rear wheel drive on the manual comes in when there is a differnce between the front and rear axle speed. The fact that the rear wheel was spinning indicates it was working, and that you were good and stuck (see previous comment on open diffs). In the manual unless you brake something the failure mode is the the AWD system fuses (automatic is a differnt story). 2 - Double check the code. Like said before front o2 sensor usually fixes the problem and should be OE. 3 - Its possible you broke a sway bar, blew a strut, or the busings quit. Also check to make sure that the rack is tight. nipper

P0505 and "doesn't start" after -- could be connected?
nipper replied to yarikoptic's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI'm not sure what you are saying. Is your no start condition meaning you have no crank? If the car is not fully in park the engine will not crank, try neutral instead? 505 is the idle air motor. a bad or non responsive IAC should not keep the car from starting. I'm not sure what you are calling the accumilator. Usually an older cars shifter is easier due to slop in the cable linkage. I bet your cable is bad. And i dont quite understand the last line, do you mean the gear shift release button? nipper

97 Outback rear wheel horrific noise
nipper replied to Digger19's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDifferential howel is a very unique sound. Its a roar that has a volume that increases with road speed. Its rare for a diff to go bad but it happens. Have you drained the diff to see if there is any metal in the lubricant? nipper

Mis-fire Codes P0301 & P0302
nipper replied to mrwitty_1's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe coil towers can get hairline cracks and throw the misfire code. As grossgary has said, they really need to be OE wires. nipper

95 legacy l abs brake question
nipper replied to 86subaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXi got 4200 for my 98 legacy L. Recooperation is still going on. My hips are staying in place (enough so that the chiro only sees me once or twice a week) finally thats a HUGE thing. Still in pain, have sadly perm injuries. I am pigheaded so i will do my best to adjust to them and learn to live with them. Sadly I have applied for SSI disabilty (lawyer says he thinks i got it), and my car insurance company is jerking me around by not sending loss of income checks. The personal injury lawsuit is starting to windup, but sadly not alot of money there to be had. nipper

Tachometer sticking when cold
See if you can get one from a junkyard, it doesnt have to work. Take it apart and see how it works, then decide if you can tackle the problem. And i agree about the tpae on the CEL, it can do more harm then good. nipper

4EAT Locking solenoid Q's
nipper replied to 86ruguy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXi looked through 20 pages of posts anf found only three people with the switch. Two of witch. had failed awd systems (ill look more as i get bored). i find it interesting only three people have the switch on the list (i searched under "switch") Andyjo was one, but couldnt tell which came first the chicken or the egg. I'm at the point where i dont care anymore. I just want people to know that if they screw up its a 1000.00 repair. I may put this on my "topics i dont respond to list" along with "synthetic oil" as they seem to get hostile after a while. nipper
