    ^^^^ excellent post

    does your model have the trailer light harness? maybe there's a way to use that?

    coupla ideas; can you borrow an impact wrench? the hammer effect might help. try TIGHTENING first. sometimes that can break things loose. as for heat, I guess you tried when the car has just been stopped and is at operating temp?

    well.... come back when you have a Subaru lol

    dunno about 'stacking' antenna boost - maybe contact user botenredwolf at subaruoutback.org , he's a car audio guru. http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/ http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/

    there should be an amplifier back there but, Subaru has moved it around across the years and models. maybe search the diagrams at www.opposedforces.com ?

    ^^^^ if the strut was replaced/rebuilt - the conical spacer at the top may be flipped. narrow side must go up. or maybe some odd brake dust shield issue?

    ^^^ yep, have had 2 bad bearings. Front right on my WRX, hellish grinding noise - probably could be heard from 100 yards away by the time I got it to the shop. left rear on same car, silent, found it with an up-down rocking test, moved about 2mm, other side solid.

    check sway bar endlinks, they can rattle.Check rear bushings on lower control arms. second advice above, KYB struts, other stuff if inspection warrants. best DIY, remove strut assemblies, take them and new parts to a shop and pay them to move everything over.

    cool that GD (assuming that's who you spoke with) did that for you, he has helped tons of folks.

    tapping toes........ ......waiting for that referral check in the mail.... .......

    less likely to be solenoid failure I think because the 'default' before 2005 is AWD. seems like a mechanical/physical issue.
  13. 1 Lucky Texan
    Jo - you could also ask for a shop recommendation in a new thread - someone may know a soob-friendly mechanic near Westerly good luck

    o-ring (s) on the suction hose adapter on top of the pump.
  15. 1 Lucky Texan
    no experience with models this new, but both my soobs began sucking air into the fluid - visible bubbles/foaming in the reservoir. They both whined, the WRX had 'pulsing' vibration in steering wheel.

    check the fuel pressure regulator's vacuum line for wet with fuel. check fuel pump for cap/o-ring problem?
  17. 1 Lucky Texan
    yeah, call 3-4 highly rated shops for estimates. get name-brand ceramic pads.
  18. 1 Lucky Texan
    On floating caliper systems, I think they should go on the inside? maybe check drawings at www.opposedforces.com?
  19. 1 Lucky Texan
    well there's your problem
  20. 1 Lucky Texan
    check crutchfield.com , you may discover that upgrading both units, perhaps even leaving a spot for a 'cubby' is quite affordable. Of course, your actual purchase could be from amazon or ??? the flickering lights seem like a ground issue, though, it's hard to say for certain.
  21. 1 Lucky Texan
    or rebuild the solenoid, contact and plunger kits are available.
  22. 1 Lucky Texan
    ido - what is the difference in auto vs 5spd starters?
  23. 1 Lucky Texan
    doh, beat while typing
  24. 1 Lucky Texan
    get a used starter from a wreck - car-part.com ? be prepared to put new contacts inside if it is high miles. rebuilt units are notoriously risky.
  25. 1 Lucky Texan
    tires must be identical; brand/model/size and near each other in wear. (without getting into esoterics like measuring rolling radii, etc.)
