ANY IDEAS? I only replaced the parts with regular oem stuff. For the 2003 sedan, I really wanted to upgrade stuff. I have only replaced the shocks with original Sachs shocks/struts, but I have bad bushings or something that makes a knock every once in a while. Are there better bushings or control arms that are recommended?

I will have to find the stuff again. I have moved since then, and some things are packed away.

I took all of my stuff out to put in a new stereo. I still have all of my old stuff, if you would need reference pictures. if needed, message me, and I can send in emails, as the pictures are too large to upload here.

This is awesome. I did not see this one before. Hopefully, I can fix this over the weekend, for good.

are the bushings a known problem? I have a 2003 outback sedan. I hear a clunk every now and then on a slow turn or sometimes angle change (hilly area). I have replaced all of the struts and shocks with new OE, and the ball joints have already been done.

I do not believe that my 1999 has had the cluster swapped, but I am having similar problems... I will try the trans code flashing soon..... 1999 OBW limited, the speedo goes in and out, cruise control will still work.... when turning cruise control on, it will sometimes jump the speedo to work. I have already done the extra little ground wire on the speedo circuit board. I THINK that it already had the problem prior to me swapping a new transmission (I never drove it before swapping the trans). of course, with the speedo not working, the miles do not show on the odo or trip correctly. Just yesterday, I had it back out and put some dielectric grease on the pins from the circuit board to the speedo as the ones in the straight line didn't seem to have a tight grip..... I accidentally bumped the parking light button and the lights were on for 8 hours, so I have to charge and wait to see if that helped anything.

I asked similar questions on the facebook page. My car is later though (1999). A lot of people were suggesting the windshield seal or rust holes in the firewall. would those apply to you? I am still trying to find my own leak.

cool link

I didn't know that you were that close.....

ummmm...... I am 20 minutes from you. I have a blown headgasket ez30 from a 2003 WITH gasket kit (Subaru headgaskets). I was looking to sell the engine for the price of the gasket kit. I also have new headbolts, if I could just recoupe the cost. get in touch with me.

Correct. Thank you. I only mistakingly left off the other component words because I haven't been sleeping much. Where can you shoot the grease into them? From the top side, or from the bottom side only? need to disassemble to see the bearing?

I just replaced all balljoints, bearings, tie rod ends, and one inner tie rod. I didn't do the struts this time around, as they didn't seem overly bad like my 03 sedan. I will hopefully check out all of the suggestions within the week.,

I don't know if this is too far back or not. This is an old picture. I figured that it was a ground but I couldn't find where it went.

y'know...... when I was installing the new transmission on this thing, I remember seeing a connector that was dangling that I couldn't figure out. I will see if I can find the picture again and post it up.

I tried searching, I am sorry if this is something common. I do not have whining associated with low p.s. fluid, I am not seeing any leaks, the reservoir seems fine. The steering is pretty stiff on my 1999 Legacy Outback Wagon. I had the vehicle down for a long time while replacing a lot of parts. I don't really remember exactly how the steering felt prior to the new parts, but I knew it was somewhat stiff (NOT as bad as a completely bad p.s. rack or pump, and you just start driving "manually"). my other cars are newer (2003 legacy sedan, 2013 fusion), so they definitely have lighter and more comfortable steering feel. Is the stiff steering the start of something going bad? Is it just the nature of this particular vehicle?
