I am a new forum participant with a serious problem. My 1996 Subaru Legacy has a bad wobble from the rear wheels when accelerating (not when coasting). The car has low mileage (156,000 km) and the engine runs well and I need the vehicle but can't afford an expensive fix. I typically do my own mechanical repairs and maintenance. I tried to switch to front wheel drive only but it appears the power control solenoid is malfunctioning. When the correct fuse is installed the dash indicator FWD light comes on but the rear wheels still get power to them and so the wobble continues. Is there anything I can do to disengage the rear power to the rear wheels? I can't find a correct power solenoid for such an old vehicle. Is there some ghetto-rigging I can do that would enable more car use without quickly damaging the transmission or other essential component? Is there any way of resolving my problem short of replacing the rear drive train components by the trial and error method?
