  1. Get 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.
  2. I'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?
  3. 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.
  4. I 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.
  5. 2010 - 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.
  6. Gone 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
  7. I've pulled many 90-2000 window regulators and motors. Anyone have experience with a 2011? A friend is bringing her's over soon. Thanks, Larry
  8. Good to know there are Great Mechanics out there that care and take the time to do it right.
  9. Could 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.
  10. The circuit board right in front of the connector develops opens in the circuits. Putting the shims in closed the circuits, at least for now.
  11. 1+ I hate turbo cars. I've worked on my son's 92 turbo but I'd never buy one. NA for me.
  12. On 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.
  13. Make 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.
  14. Great! I've had that happen a time or 2 over the years. Off a tooth will cause some issues.
  15. It 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.
  16. Get it as close to stock wiring as you can. I hate the aftermarket systems. Hit the yard if necessary.
  17. If 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.
  18. I posted a 97 Impreza in CO for $300 with 148K. Drive it out and you have the complete car and a low mileage 2.2
  19. Get a good hose clamp on the trans hose. Don't want that one to blow off and fluid poor out.
