Alright, so my dad's friend has this 99' Outback Legacy, and i helped him replace his front brakes and rotors, the problem is that how when going about 15-25mph (haven't tested higher speeds), the brakes make a knocking noise, with a frequency just about the speed of the wheel (ie: 1 rotation, 1 knock). We poped the wheels off and made sure everything was seated properly, and that all the bolts were tight, retorqued the wheels, and it still does it... any ideas or suggestions? ALSO, his ABS kicks in WAY to soon, like... almost to a stop and it'll kick in a little.

Ok, so i got my codes checked today (freaking fuel temp sensor...), i flipped the 4wd switch, and no new codes came up. I'm not sure if you run the 4wd, then turn it off and have them check if something will come up.. but with the switch on, and checking the CEL stuff, no codes poped up. SOOO, that means it should pass inspection if you don't hit the switch before you go to get it inspected

Hey grossgary, when you do it, let me know.... I've also heard that the K&N filters don't suck as much water through as a stock filter (if you keep it oiled)... I could use a water retardant filter due to the snorkle

between tranny fluid changes, drive alittle, and crank the wheel all the way to one side and to a few circles, it'll get that grimmy tranny fluid mixed up real good Also, to see if you have an LSD (Limited slip diff), jack up the rear end of the car, and turn one wheel, if the other one goes the same way you have a LSD, if not, you have an open diff. (I think... or did i say that backwards... someone correct me :-p )

i've got hubcaps for my roo... they're not attached, black steel wheels are hard core, and just look badass

I can get over 30 mpg in my subaru sorry, someone had to say it.. hehhh

to post pictures click on 'Photo Gallery' on the top toolbar thing (the dark grey), then a screen will come up, just under where you clicked on 'photo gallery' there will be a yellow link that says 'upload photos', you can do it up from there, you can also make albums by going through the 'album admin' w00t! more lifted subarus! yay!

i've got some borla headers.... but they crack alot... but you can't beat a million mile warrenty

hey.. what's wrong with zip ties... they hold my bumper cover on

I ment potsdam, because both Operose & I live there, that's 2 in one town... one very small redneck town

changing your fluids doesn't change the gaskets/seals.

WRONG The new hummers are not equipt to go 'offroad' i mean foresters arn't either, but they'll still do better than those large pieces of trash.

the springs are in a system with the struts (enclosed by the strut and strut cap), you're going to have to remove the struts to get the springs out... i have no idea how you could do it otherwise....

They're both NAPA sets... i did it up, no problems yet... except i found a nice tear in my CV boot Grease EVERYWHERE... arg....

I borrowed a 14mm tool from the local shop, i bet if you ask nicely they'll let you borrow/rent one

O2 sensor, ORRR if you're cool like me you're fuel temp sensor is retarded, and you need a new fuel sending unit

Tell them Hummers suck, and make you look like a prick if you drive one. End of story.

As you can see in the title, i'm cheap, and have a bunch of old brake pads with about 85% of their pads left, i replaced the old set because ONE pad was wearing out faster than the others (sticky caliper slider thing). So i fixed that and put on the new pads, but now it's doing it on the other side... so i was just going to pop off the caliper, cleanup the sliders again and throw on an old pad.... I know you're not SUPPOSED to do this.. but i'm a cheap bastard.. am i going to warp my rotors, or mess up anything by doing this... i mean.. the pads are still good, they just need a little breaking in (get it.. ohh... i'm funny ), maybe a nice trip to the highway with the brakes engaged... hmm.....

here yah go, had to dig it out from under the seat

Sure, if i still have it... it may be floating around under a seat or something, lemme grab my headlamp and run outside again

It's a relitivly easy install, if you get the strut/spriung/cap all together it's 5 bolts... 3 little ones, and 2 REALLY BIG Ones. Once you install it you should get an allignment.

If the car runs fine with it there, i'd leave it...

Here's the fusebox from my 97 impreza, hope it helps

Sounds like it works good! =) Now it seems that Potsdam NY is the new hot spot for 4wd 4EAT Subarus!

with the wire cut you're in 4wd, with the wire connected you're in AWD so, if your switch is in the 'ON' position, you will be in AWD, in the 'OFF' position you will be in 4wd. You might want to solder the connections eventually, because you don't want something happening and have it jump into 4wd on the highway/whatever. You also might be creating more resistance than the TCU is used to, and piss it off somehow. Most Stuff, after using this mod for about a week (less maybe?) i've discovered that if you run in 4wd, and then turn it off, the NEXT time you start up the car the 'AT OIL TEMP' light will flash a few times, and turn off. And the time after that all will be back to normal. I haven't gone to check if any codes have poped up with this yet... i'll have to head over to leb. and goto an autozone and play with it while they check for codes.
