Yes than that would be poor design. I've never seen one without the retaining circle clip about an 1/8" inside the CV joint. Subaru or aftermarket? I always stay with the Green Subaru halfshafts.

Yep, just pop it back in. It can take a good wack from the end of the axle. If you have the lower ball joint out so it's free, you can use the weight of the brake/hub to give you some weight.

Pressure switch is forward just off the condenser in the HP line. I unplugged it, jumped it the plug and the AC worked. Plugged it back in and the AC works. A little corrosion cleaned maybe. It's so tight up front you can't see the connector very well. We'll see what happens! Thanks to all.

Thanks.

Yes swapped the relay no change. I'll dig into it a bit more. When I jumped the AC and the compressor kicked on it was getting cold. Thanks

I had it service Nov 2024 after replacing the Evaporator due to a leak. Worked great till the other day. Then NO AC. No leaks and when I hook up the cheapo service gauge pressure is High, in the red. I pulled the AC Relay and jumped it. AC compressor kicked in and the gauge went into the green. I'll take it back to the service location, just thought I'd put this out there to get your thoughts. Thanks, Larry

Yep Relay would be my bet.

Drill up through the floor to locate the center. Hole saw down from inside to hold the nut with a socket. Long breaker bar, turn it by hand. PB Blaster or something like it to lube the threads.

Yep, if you can change just the glass it's less work. All of them I've had the side tracks/guides were broken and required a complete replacement.

It's not a hard job, but very labor intensive. - Remove all the interior trim around the windows to drop the headliner. Do it when it's warm and there is less chance of the plastic pins breaking. - Remove the headliner, drop the seats so you have the most room to turn it and get it out the rear hatch without bend it too much - Disconnect the sunroof wiring and drain tubes - Unbolt the sunroof, 2 helpers make it easier. - Reverse to install the used one. If you have access to self-serve yards, you can practice on a yard car. I know some of the slide hardware changed from year to year. If you change the complete frame that issue goes away. Best of luck!

Yes that's the spring. Hope the bushings take care of it.

car-part.com is a good source. Put in your info and search. As long as you match the rear diff ratio many will interchange.

Nice, always good when USMB members return.

What steps did you take to when replacing the bellows?

Colorado and Hawaii. Welcome in both.

Well, enough to get the horn to work, which was needed to pass the Safety Inspection. They had failed my 2002 Impreza wagon for no horn. I provided a ground at the under dash connector and it worked fine, so continued up to the steering wheel. No continuity between the lower dash connector and the horn wire. That pointed to the clock-spring. Being in Hawaii and with limited parts I pulled it apart. careful taking it apart gave me access to the spool of wire ribbon that makes up the clock-spring. Sure enough close to one end it was toast. I cut it back a couple of inches and stripped off the insulation with a razor blade. That allowed me to tuck the copper leads into the connector for the horn. The airbag was out of it already and I sure would not have done this repair if I wanted the airbag to work. I just needed a horn for the island beater.

ww.car-part.com good source for parts.

I'll be back in Colorado in the next couple of weeks and can ship the TCU/s if you want one or more.

I took my 2005 Subaru Impreza Wagon in for it's safety inspection today. The Rear Side Marker Lights were flagged. Last year it passed. Anyway, I pulled the assemblies and the little marker bulb is there but no wiring. The Owners manual does not show it. In my 2002, the manual shows it and the wiring is present. Strange! Anyone run into this? Thanks, Larry

Why GD got out IMHO. I miss that knowledge. CCR and Shawn as well.

Still digging.

I feel your pain. 2006 is the newest I will go. Yes, I'd start with the codes.

06 Forester about 180K on it. Power Steering pump wines when cold. Belt looks good, fluid full but old. No leaks. I'm thinking of changing the fluid, but it works ok. Any ideas? Thanks, Larry
