center pully harmonic balancer i tihnk bolt came out while driving.
dident get any pics. was driving and noticed the battery and brake light come on i thought that the alternator died and figured id turn off the lights and radio and see how far i could get before the battery died i felt like i could get home. about a mile or so later the check engine light began flashing and i lost power steering. at that point i figured i threw the belt and pulled over figuring id pull my old belt out the trunk put it on and be going however when i opened the hood i found both the alternator belt and a/c belt was still there with the main center pulley that drives them hanging there by the belts with the bolt still in it. i got the bolt back on and drove it home now im wondering how tight should that bolt be? what we did to get it back on was use a screw driver through the inspection plate to hold the motor still while tightening the bolt with a ratchet and extension bar. it is a 95 legacy l wagon with the 2.2 the key way dident look perfect but it did still grab the pulley and hold it locked there.

Changing 2011 Outback Headlight
sirtokesalot replied to mccullough's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXthe way we change these at work is through the inner fender. turn the wheel all he way to the left then u can go to the passenger wheel and pop out the push clips holding it in place. once u have the clips out u can pull the plastic inner fender back enough to stick your arm in there and get to the bulb. its a tricky thing to do because you cant see what your doing at the same time as your arm is in there. there should be a cap that twists tot he left to take off once it stops turning u pull it out. then i believe it is a clip style bulb so there will most likely be a wire clip over the bulb holding it on.unplug the wires from the bulb before undoing the clip. one side of the clip sticks up and out a bit u push it back and either down or up then let it come back out and release the bulb reverse to install.

ABS Light
ither the bulb is bad or someone did like i did and removed the bulb because the abs was not working and was tired of looking at it. that would be my guess.

make low beam stay on with high beams
can the factory headlight housings handle 100 watt low and 140 watt high?

'04 Outback, no low beam on one side only, hi beams ok
sirtokesalot replied to genhawk's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXdid you check the fuse? most cars have separate fuses for each bulb so if one blows the other will remain on and not leave you without headlights at all. on my friends outback he had to replace the headlight housing due to a small crash and when we installed the new one the high beam was out on the drivers side it turned out to be a blown fuse in the fuse box located in the engine compartment.

ebay jdm subaru legacy projector apparently japan had projectors.

make low beam stay on with high beams
i wont go the hid route without projectors. i did that once on the bmw and hated the way the light came out of the stock halogen housing. my car is also a legacy l wagon witch did not have fogs from the factory i also installed them myself but i wired them like stock fog lights should be and used a subaru fog light switch. so the fogs only come on with the low beams. ive been thinking about rewiring them to be on anytime the headlights are on.

rattling interior panels
what i mean is the rattle is still coming from the rear hatch even without the panels attached. ive banged on the hatch with my palm and can hear a metallic reverberation/rattle sound that comes from what seems like the flat exterior metal on the hatch its self i have all 4 screws in my license plate and can confirm the plate its self is not the rattle.
-
rattling interior panels

make low beam stay on with high beams
interesting. i did this mod to the bmw years ago and never had issues. the mod required re-grounding a relay inside the fuse box to a ground that did not switch off with the high beams on. it never burned out the bulbs in the year and a half i had it that way before i did the hid swap and yes i did use projectors.

Rolled my Outback
sirtokesalot replied to Subaru_dude's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXif i had to have the car i would strap it to something on the drivers side down low and try a come along to pull the right side up high and attempt to bend it back then plexiglass the windows get a cheapo windshield and glue the hell out of it to get it in there and drive. ive seen worst cars driving around before. glad you were ok.
