does anyone in connecticut have one of the long bolts and nut that aren't destroyed? im speaking of the long like 12 inch bolt that goes through the 2 lower control arms on the rear. it is for a 2002 forester but im pretty sure the same bolt for other models will work. im so close to getting the car back on the road but am being held back by one dam bolt.

Have them in CO.  Rust sucks.

Technically they are not supposed to be reused. They are supposed to be replaced any time they are removed. I would just get a new one from Subaru.

 

GD

he bought one from the dealer. reason for replacement was he drove it without a wheel bearing for god knows how long. replaced the shock hub bearing axle caliper caliper bracket abs sensor and tone ring parking brake hardware still need a new parking brake cable he may not buy it. thankfully we used a junk yard part so most of this stuff was already assembled.

 

 

Wow!!! 

Surprised the axle didn't break... ! 0.o

 

And this is the kind of people we share the roads with...

That is... Incredible!!! 

 

So, did the rotor just saw through the caliper mount?!?

 

"I'm not sure what that noise is honey, I'll have it looked at after I get paid next week..."

yes the rotor did saw through the caliper. its amazing the wheel was still on the car. i got the rear together today and took it for a test drive no sounds from the rear anymore but he had 2 wheel bearings that were bad the front passenger one is also loose and just starting to rub the rotor into the caliper bracket when turning so yea still got more work ahead of me.
