haven't been on here in a long time, but I need some help
Heres the basic run down, I have a 1998 subaru outback with over 241 thousand miles.
Today I was on my way back from lewiston (I live in gray) and coming down snowhill road, upon reaching the end of the road, I lost power steering.
I knew that didnt seem good (I thought I was just out of fluid) so I pulled over in the park and ride right off of old 26 there, turned the car off and popped the hood.
Heres where it gets interesting. I found the harmonic balancer (which I replaced barely a month ago) resting against my engine fans, with the bolt as well.
My basic question is, What can cause that crank bolt to come loose? I thought while the car was running it was supposed to stay tight?
Any help and advice is welcome
Thank you
