EYE_WHY

I just found this parusing ebay: and was wondering if there were any other options if I want to do away with the factory grille? I think this would look pretty nice painted a glossy black.

even worse, its bent inwards facing the car. I just want to get the hitch out because the ball is in horrible shape, I want to keep the actual receiver so I can get a new hitch. The hitch that is in right now is in un-useable condition which is why I need it out.

I would go the tree route except that its the pin that is rusted in, not the hitch itself. The hitch moves around freely inside but the damn pin is rusted to it.

My OBW has a hitch on the back that I neither need nor want. The problem is, the idiot that had the car before me never took the hitch out so the pin rusted on pretty good to the hitch. I can jiggle the hitch around and the pin jiggles around with it so I'm pretty sure the pin is rusted onto the hitch and not the outside receiver. I've already pounded the livin' tomatoe sauce out of it with an 8 pound maul, soaked it with PB blaster and heated it up with a propane torch. None of which worked. Any other ideas?

ya, wicked popular in the northeast too. I think they kinda take the place of the soccer mom van.

I just picked up another pocket and a pocket with the closing lid from the junkyard so if I can't think of anything else to put in there, I'll throw one of those in. Thanks guys.

If you only have single-din units, what is taking up your second din? I'm looking to put a nice new pioneer unit in, but I think it would look a little weird if I just leave the bottom din (cd player) there. Is there a cover or pocket I can buy that takes its place?

In case anyone was wondering, I pulled the trigger on this. Unfortunately I am away at school and haven't been able to drive it buy my parents say it drives like a top. you can also see my Loyale in the right corner, tryin to get rid of it.

Ya, my parents really don't like the no airbag aspect of the loyale (even though I've had it for almost 3 years now). Problems are also really starting to pile up on it and honestly, as much as I love that car, I would rather get something a little more solid and safer. Also, just got off the phone with the seller and he said timing belt and headgaskets were done at 80K so that is definitely a bigggg plus. He said brakes were kind iffy but rotors had been replaced at some point so hopefully its just pads which I can tackle myself. Thanks for the advice guys

my dad, who drove the car, also said there was a pretty noticeable tapping sound. Maybe lifters? Could this be potentially serious?

I'm in the market for a newerish Subaru. Even though my 94 Loyale only has about 60k Miles, it needs lots of body work and has just started developing some oil leaks probably because all the seals have dried up. Anyways, I think its time to move on to another Subaru before dumping too much into this one. I've found a 2000 outback with 125K on the clock and AT. Looks to be in good condition, no rust. Oil changes every 3K and it was bought new by an older couple. All regular scheduled maintanance has been done. Only thing I am unsure about is timing belts because I only talked to the wife of the seller and she was unsure. Asking price is $4500 firm. I checked KBB and this seems to be a pretty good deal. Anything I should ask about or look for in particular? Thanks guys.

I checked all the way around the boot and there are no obstructions. I really can't see any reason that boot would have torn, I checked it right after it was put in and then probably about 200 miles after it was put in and I didn't see any signs of wear. There were acouple of loose vacuum tubes, so I tightened em and now all the heat/AC buttons work and I would assume that means the 4wd will work as well. Thanks!!

oh yeah, and I forgot about the recurring exhaust leaks around the gaskets where the y-pipe meets the engine. I have already replaced both once, and they just blew again about a week ago.

I've had my 94 Loyale for acouple of years now and a ton of problems are starting to appear seemingly out of the blue. The wagon only has 55K miles, its 4wd and has 15" Pugs with 195/55/15s on it. Anyways, here are the problems: 1. The A/C / Heat fan only works on 3 and 4, I've fixed it a bunch of times by taking that little box thing out and resoldering the wires together but a week or so later it will stop working on 1 and 2. 2. Happened very recently that the whole block of DEF/HEAT/BILEV/AC seemed to crap the bed. I can still get heat and cold but I am just using the slider on the left to adjust heat/cold. The DEF doesn't work at all, nothing comes out of the def. vents. No fuses are blown. 3. Front passenger side axle has been giving me a ton of problems. At about 54K I finally had a re-man'd axle put in after noticing the old axel had a ripped boot and all the grease had flown out. The re-man'd axle seized up so I brought it back to have a NEW axle put in it. As of about 5 minutes I just found out that the NEW axle's boot ripped open and sprayed more grease everywhere. So I don't know if I should get another one or just say hell with it. The driver's side axle is fine. 4. As of about a week ago I found out the 4WD button no longer works. I used it last probably in early April to get through some snow. I have no clue what it could be, no fuses are blown and I don't hear the usual "clunk" of it engaging 4wd. I don't really care if my fan and defrost don't work, but the axel makes me a little nervous and the 4wd not working just makes me mad. I'm leaving for college in september and I've just about had it with this POS. I have already torn this car apart looking for a small electrical short that kept draining the battery and I really don't want to go through it again to fix all this crap.

144 or 144k ???
