Thanks Les, that's good info. Bit of a haul, but I'll keep it in mind if something really major goes wrong (crosses fingers).

Sharp turns at low speed (parking), espically in reverse and espically after driving for more than an hour or so cause binding. It doesn't happen when first driving the car very much but gets pretty bad after going surfing (100-200km in a day) It's a manual, '98 Outback wagon w/ approx. 150,000 km. I've done some searches on binding and will be going out and getting a manual to try some of the eaiser fixes (fluid change, tire circ. measurements) when time allows. And before it goes in for sevice. I'd like to take it in for it's tune-up as I've never worked on such a fancy car before, only basic things like oil changes etc. on my old westy ('72), rabbit ('80) and 85 and 87 GL's. I found that having an obliging expert in town was invaluable with VW's and am looking for the same for the 'Ru. Thanks!

Holy cow, good site! I'm on my way to solving my damn binding problem! My girlfriend was handed down a '98 Outback and it needs a little work and tune, can anyone reccomend a Sube specialist or expert here in Victoria B.C.? I only went to the dealer once with one of my old GL's and although I don't remember the details (10years ago almost), I don't have good feelings left over about them. My VW experiance leads me to believe that an expert can save one major hassles. Thanks!
