.. It's the thing your spark plug wires are hooked to the rotor is inside the cap there's a screw that holds it on. It's on the distributor

Okay gotcha. So How do i check to see if those are bad or what not?

Well you'll seethe corrosion on the contacts they should be shiny copper.

 

If you go to replace it make sure that you swap the plug wires one at a time so you don't confuse them

Agreed. Do not pull all the wires off the Cap at once swap one wire onto the new cap at a time, make sure you put it on the same terminal ather wise the firing order will be incorrect and backfire (At least there are only 4 wires plus the Coil in the center) try a V-8 Arrg!! :cool:

mine doesn't look in too bad of shape. but I guess it couldn't hurt to replace.

I like to think that the more you put into a car the more you will get out of it so I'd say go for it if you have the cash

 

I'm probably the only person that enjoys throwing parts at my car lol.

*Cough* obviously you have not seen my 4 build threads then...

Oh I have ur cars are amazing. I've got somewhat of the same plan fOr mine.. 2"lift 27s winch snorkel And roof rack all in factory lake blue paint I want it to look like it came from the factory that way.

My gl aspires to be like yours!

Alright so got it replaced today. was kinda *************** but got it. Still knocking. my roll pin was pretty loose in the new cv and actually fell out. Is that why it is knocking?

 

also where can i get a new one?

Your roll pin fell out?? Never heard of that before.. Has the sound changed since you replaced the axle or is it the same?

 

If you can make a video of the noise it may help us deduce the issue

Yes the sound changed. And it most definitely is not a cv axle anymore. I think it is the cone washer. I am almost sure of it. Because the sound is irregular.

so replaced con washer. helped but it is the wheel bearings at least the parts are cheap. now hmm.... i am in portland right now, anyone have a wheel bearing assembly or know of a junkyard where i can pick one up? les schwab quoted me 189 for parts and labor (100 in labor) but i think i can do it myself? and i just would rather do the whole hub then take it apart and do the bearings i think.

its eazy to do as they are all the same (ea82s anyway)

 

ive actually replaced both my front knuckles..but i had a parts car..or three.

you would be better off buying the bearings and taking the hub to a shop and pay them a half hr shop time to put them into the hub much cheaper that way.

 

you might even be able to rent a bearing press. but that might be a little more spendy.

hmm. but i need to find the bearings still

oriellys should have them rockauto should too.. and i think theres even a way to get ones that are better but a direct replacement..

 

IIRC they are only like$27 ea(you need 2..) http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/BCA0/207/03336.oap?year=1987&make=Subaru&model=GL-10&vi=1268681&******=Search_C0055_1268681_3158&pt=C0055&ppt=C0337

inside and outside. so go buy 2 of those then walk into a shop and have them put them in? I am down.

shop around tho some shops might not do it and some might but charge wayy too much.. a subaru shop would be the best bet i think

 

it might be worth it to ask around BEFORE you pull the hub off. just to make things go more smoothly

so fed up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Urgh replaced, cv, cone washer, and now the wheel bearings and nothing happened. Still clicking. WTF IS IT!?!?!?! Is there anyone in Portland that is willing to take a look at it with me?

Well still don't know what it is? are struts a possibility? I also read something about hydraulic lifters not getting enough oil?

 

So far it hasnt been - axle, bearings, or cone washer.

shake the drive shaft and see if its the carrier bearing. it shouldn't move much if any.

its a long shot but there's not a whole lot else it could be..:-\

New description. when i turn and it's under power and low speeds it's like a triple pop/clunk.

Sounds like the splines in the hub got tore up because of the bad cone washers. Remove front axles and inspect the splines in the front hubs and on the axle stubs..

I dont think so. The hubs look great to me
