99 subaru forester
lmdew replied to Jim P's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXGet a 4 wheel alignment. They will tell you what is out. Auto or Manual Trans? Torque bind could also be a problem if an auto. There is no camber on the rear. Aftermarket Camber bolts are available. I've also used smaller dia bolts on the top so I could manually adjust the camber when I put Forester struts on Impreza OBS.

Brake help needed
lmdew replied to ocei77's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI've been using the Motive Products 0090 Power Bleeder Tank for a few years now. It works well and moves plenty of fluid through the brake system to flush it out without pumping the brakes. How were the caliper pins? Free movement?

Are there any used OEM 90-94 (and maybe 95-98) Subaru axles still available?
lmdew replied to idosubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI take it you are talking front for your FWD Subaru. I know I have some rears.

Wix XP Oil Filter <$8
Home Depot. $7.59 Pick up in store Free or Free shipping on orders over $45. Ordered 6, free shipping to the house. Nice Tried Rockauto but they could not sell to me as they had to pay State and City taxes directly to CO. First time I've seen that.

2011 Legacy Sedan Drivers door window
lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI pulled the old on apart to see how it was put together. Motor and cable spool are all one unit. Since it was junk, I pulled it apart. Yes, while it's possible you'd never change just one part of the regulator. Just buy the complete assembly. It's over $800 from Subaru but under $50 a you pull yards. 2010 - 2014 is the interchange range. Outback, Legacy, for sure.

2011 Legacy Sedan Drivers door window
lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX2010 - 2014 is the interchange range. If you can't roll the window down, it's hard to get to the FWD window to regulator bolt. The car I pulled it from the door was trash anyway so I cut the interior metal to get at the bolt. Easy R&R.

2011 Legacy Sedan Drivers door window
lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXGone are the motor gear and track. It's now a motor and cable 1/16" or so. One strand of the cable broke and jammed things up. Much easier to remove but not as reliable. Later

Slowing start up with 96 Brighton
lmdew replied to ThosL's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXCould be. I've had several Subaru when they sat for a few days would not start right away. If that happened, I'd turn off the key and turn it back on. Thus cycling the fuel pump and it would start right up. Fuel filter Leaking Injector Could also impact fuel pressure.

Air Climate Control Repair
lmdew replied to Akbigmac's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe circuit board right in front of the connector develops opens in the circuits. Putting the shims in closed the circuits, at least for now.

lmdew replied to FerGloyale's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX1+ I hate turbo cars. I've worked on my son's 92 turbo but I'd never buy one. NA for me.

wiring question
lmdew replied to sirtokesalot's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXOn the dash wiring that I've pulled from older Subaru the dash has all of the extra plugs for the option switches. You could check behind the switch blank offs to see if the plugs for the options are there.

Coolant Temp Fluctuation 05 Forester
lmdew replied to Sapper 157's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMake sure you check the coolant in the radiator, when it's cold. Many times the coolant will not pull back into the radiator so the overflow bottle seems full but the coolant system is low. Good visual of all hose connections, recommended. Check to make sure all the fans are working. Is it an original Subaru thermostat? Don't use and aftermarket.

its like a miss under load FIXED
lmdew replied to RMVR53's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXGreat! I've had that happen a time or 2 over the years. Off a tooth will cause some issues.

Rear hatch won't unlock, locks fine. Motor works
lmdew replied to griffin.malone's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIt would help to have the year and model. Many time the release lever handle pivot points are rusted. A little PB blaster and working the handle a bit will free it up.

Drain fuel
lmdew replied to Foilmonkey's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf you cut the car side of the connector from the junk yard, you can hook the + and - to a battery after you have plugged in the junk yard connector under the seat or in the cargo area.

Bleeding out new radiator
lmdew replied to ThosL's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXGet a good hose clamp on the trans hose. Don't want that one to blow off and fluid poor out.
