  1. Hello- I've added 2" spacers (with offset) to the stock struts on my 2001 Legacy wagon. The front sway bar end links are now dragging on the rims when making a turn. Below picture is passenger side, driver side is similar. Anyone else had this problem? How did you resolve it? Thanks in advance.
  2. I have a 2" lift spacer that I am trying to install on the front strut of my 2001 Legacy wagon 5-speed to increase ground clearance. The sway bar was disconnected for this procedure. The bottom bolt which connects the strut to the hub will go in, however I am unable to pivot the hub in enough for the upper bolt to line up. The most force I've applied was with a c-clamp when the strut spacer was installed and the lower bolt that connects the strut to the hub was in place. However the upper bolt does not line up. The c-clamp was to squeeze the hub and back of the strut to theoretically squeeze the holes into alignment. The clamp fit nice, but the hole seemed as if it would not align before the strut cylinder bent from the clamp pressure: so I stopped. Note that as the clamp was being tightened, the axle was being pulled (not compressed) by the hub as it pivoted on the lower strut bolt. Has anyone else had this problem? How was it resolved? Thanks in advance.
  3. Installed an L-shaped spacer (3 x 3 inches) at the second O2 sensor on a 2000 Forester, to lay to rest the P0420 code that has been coming on weekly for the last five years! Now I'm getting a P0136 code. My understanding was that the O2 sensor distal to the cat served no critical purpose, other than to warn of poor emissions. But some P0136 code explanations suggest that the ECU may interpret P0136 as a lean fuel/air state. Is this true for a 2000 Forester? Should I shorten the spacer to avoid a P0136 call? Both original O2 sensors were replaced with new ones a couple years ago.
