All they are is a flat metal blade jumper that connects the two pins. You can just hook the wires together in the harness and it will shut off the code. GD

good job what brand/model was the extraction socket set you used?

Fuel down the throttle body will work just the same as down the throat of a carbie. Cheers Bennie

With the flywheel at the middle of the 3 |||, one cam mark should be straight up, the other straight down. Just a note, to take better care of batteries - if you crank on one a lot, get it on a charger as soon as practical after. LA batteries do not like sitting discharged, the longer the worse. Give it a 1-2 second shot of carb cleaner, and hold the pedal a little open, see if it fires. If it does, you have spark at the right time.

I’m not sure what youre asking - you ask if they swap but mention multiple times “taller”, what does “taller” mean to you? The struts don’t change the car height, so I’m not sure where you’re seeing they’re taller or why it matters - once installed there is no appreciable difference. Most people swap struts and keep the original springs. Use 00-04 springs on 00-04 outbacks and 05-09 springs on 05-09 outbacks. Use 00-04 struts on 00-09 outbacks. if you want to worry about “height” then the discussion is about springs - most people install turbo baja springs in 00-09 outback at get a stiffer rear and extra 1”+ bump for loads/towing. Anyway height is about springs, not struts....you’re asking about struts but talking about height I already said all this but 00-04 and 05-09 Outback struts are interchangeable. It’s very well known across Subaru world - as I already said people install 00-04 all the time in 05-09s, it’s almost a standard “upgrade” in DIY Subaru circles. If you do go OEM, the OEM 00-04 struts are good struts.

@Uberoo - going on from protontodd’s thread: you asked me about strengthening the L chassis after I made some comments about this. Below is what was shared with me. That’s all I’ve got and it’s not great quality in terms of sharp detail. Hopefully that gives you an idea of what was done for the rally vehicle setup Apologies for the delay in digging this up. It’s been in the back of my mind for a long time! Cheers Bennie
