    Torn CV boot

    So, we have a torn inner front CV boot on the Outblack. Can I replace just the boot? Does this mean removing the spindle/knuckle to remove the axle? Does the above mean breaking the ball joint pinch bolt...which means drilling through the spindle and putting in a longer bolt and nut? Or could...

    Forester end links

    So, something is clunking in the front of the FXT. I want to remove the end links for inspection. I started to loosen the nuts and the stud is spinning also. I tried looking and putting different wrenches on the inside of the stud to hold it, but no luck. There doesn't seem to be any way to keep...

    '05 Outblack Wag

    Most of you may know I sold my '02 WRX.. And the current owner has already beat it to a pulp >;-). So I have inherited the FXT, and we were looking for a sedan for my wife. We found this OBW with under 47,000 when we got it. Then I got at it. It's just a 2.5i, automatic, so it is slow as...

    This may be a long shot but, I am looking for a plastic piece on the outside of the hatch. It is the piece that spans across the hatch, below the rear glass, above the license plate. It has the reverse lights in it. Preferably, Obsidian Black. I would possibly take one that needs to be painted...

    Sway bar bushing replacement - 04 FXT

    So, I have some clunking going on. Front struts and mounts were replaced not too long ago (2 yrs??). When I crawled under and hit the sway bar with the heel of my hand, It sounds like that could be it. It looks to me like I have to remove the front subframe to get at the nut on the front of the...

    Inspection question

    IIRC, there are some inspection techs here. My question is...If I buy a car in N.H. from a used car dealer, with temporary plates, and it has N.H. inspection, is that inspection good for a year, or do I need to get it inspected in Maine as soon as I register it?

    Legacy/Outback Turbo vs N/A

    I have done some reading on this, but want to "hear" some more opinions. We are considering a new to us car. Interested in a legacy platform. We would like to have the power of a turbo. One issue is the "bad bearings" problem. Is it really a problem? About what mileage does it tend to show up...

    The dreaded gas smell

    Our 2004 Forester XT has developed a gas smell, mostly when it is cold, just like the '02 WRX's do/did. I suspect it is the same fuel hose contracting issue. Is that a known issue with other models? I also realize it could quite possibly be the fact that the car is 9yrs old with 150k(ish) miles...

    Valve cover gaskets

    Soooooooo, I think the valve cover gaskets are leaking, may need to be replaced on our FXT. Passenger side is leaking enough so that there is smoke intermittently. I crawled under, pulled off the plastic belly pan, got a flashlight and searched for oil drips. It looks like it's a project over...

    It seems that I have a dead mouse in my car. I have checked the obvious spots-spare tire well, glove box. I started tearing into the "dash". Got the heater fan out, got in as far as the A/C core. No mouse. Took out the center console, radio, heat & a/c controls, gauge pod. I'm wondering if...
