Hello, I'm looking into turbo or other performance options for my wife's (soon to be my) 01 Outback Limited 4 cylinder. It's has a manual tranny, but it still can't out run our lawn tractor:burnout: Thanks, Steve

Hello, I might have to replace the front wheel bearings on a 2001 OBW and was wondering how difficult of a job is it. Are there special tools needed to press them in and out? Can a shop do the press work? Does anyone know of a good source for the bearings? Any and all tips would sure be appreciated! Thanks, Steve

Hello again, As luck would have it, the wife's 01 Outback needs front brakes...again. We've taken it to the dealer 3 times for front brake related service. They turned the original rotors twice and replaced them once in 36,000 miles. She is a very good driver and is far from heavy on the brakes. This time around I'm going to the aftermarket for rotors and pads. I took it to a local brake shop and they said that it needs pads, rotors and wheel/hub bearings. In the old days I repacked them. The car does squeal when tracking straight and turning right. It's quiet or close to while turning left. My question is should I replace them or can they be repacked? Sorry for the rambling, Steve

I'll check everything out that you guys mentioned. Thank you! Steve

Hello everybody, New to the forum and look forward to hearing from you. My wife's 2001 4 cylinder:-( Outback emits a faint burning rubber smell from the passenger-side engine compartment. Checked the belts and hoses and they look fine as far as I can tell. The tires look fine and I don't think she knows how to get all four to break loose:-) It's more of a nuisance than anything, but wanted to run it by you before it turns for the worse. Thanks in advance, Steve
