My rear strut on the right is knocking bad when i drive over a bump. Have checked the nuts on the upper strut mount and they seem to be tightened properly. Could it be that the top nut on the shock is loose?

Thanks!

But do you have to remove the intake manifold to replace the coolant temp sensor?

I´m now trying to replace the sensor and having a few problems. 1) How is the electrical connector disconnected from the sensor? 2) Do i have to take the manifold off to replace the sensor or can i just use a deep socket to get to it properly? Thanks in advance Einar

Subaru Legacy are very common as police cars here in Iceland.

Clean the Idle Air Control valve or replace it.

I´ll probably get a used IAC valve soon at a parts sale. But does a IAC from 1.8 or 2.0 subaru engine fit to a 2.2? Are they the same or is there some difference?

The IAC valve is very expensive. I cleaned it last summer and the car idled smoother for some time. Last thing i want to do is to buy a new one because i´m a student! What can i do to make it last longer, cleaning it or some adjustments?

When i start the car cold, it sometimes runs very rough and the rpm start to descend and finally it stalls and it shows a CEL light. I checked the code and it was a Error code.24, which is the air control valve. Is it the same as the idle air control valve or is there a another air control valve on the engine that i don´t know about? The car is ´91 Legacy 2,2.

Yes, 19 mm is the right size. Don´t know how much wear was on the old PCV valve but i doubt it has been replaced before. In what areas of engine does the PCV affect the engine. In what areas should i see improvement, better mileage, less fuel consumption?

I´m gonna replace the PCV valve. What size of socket do i need?

The steering wheel on my ´91 Legacy is very worn out. I can twist the rubber on the wheel and i´m not comfortable with that, want to have it stiff! Do steering wheels on newer gen. of Legacys and even Imprezas fit on my car or are they different? And also, do i need special tools to get the wheel off?

I also have one bad rear wheel bearing and am going to replace it soon. Should i just change both wheel bearing or do they wear differently out?

Yes i changed the timing belt recently but didn´t think about the other subsystems, such as the oil and waterpump:-\. What about changing the fuel filter, OEM or Japanparts?

Thinking about changing the waterpump as a preventive maintance. Is the OEM WP the only one you trust to use. I was wandering about buying a WP from Japanparts as i assume it´s cheaper. And also what seals should i replace on the engine. Is it the camseals, crankshaft, oilpump 0-ring, valve covers. What am i forgetting?
