  1. a flush is the only way to get all the fluid out and replace with new. our machine hooks up inline of the factory cooler, the trans forces the fluid into the machine and the machine pumps out the same amount of new atf into the cooler. you watch the fluid color through a glass beaker and you can easily telll old from new. for a 100 bucks its worth it I know ammaco around the nj area offers 100.00 for the life of the car. I would suggest atleast once a year.
  2. I'm new to the subarus so I need some help with mine. I'm fixing a 90 legacy LS while using it as my daily driver its a 2.2 with 211,000 fwd non air suspension. the engine and tans. are in decent shape save for a few leaks I still need to fix, but overall nothing major. My main problem is suspension / driveline as the car sat for almost 2 years. I've replaced the struts, mounts and most of the bushings. I still need to do the ball joints, outer tie rods and new inner bellows / dust boots. Since I first drove the car it made a dragging noise that got louded with speed and side-side movement of the steering wheel. I though it was a stuck caliper or just the heavy scale rust on the rotors. New pads/ rotors and rebuidling the calipers didn't chage it aside from giving me working brakes. I'm leading towards the wheel bearings or the diff as the source now but haven't had time to take it apart. The wheels seem to spin freely without a load on them. It does have some side to side and up / down movement at the front knucle but the tie rods and ball joints are in need of replacement. I assume I'll need new races, inner and outer seals along with inner and outter wheel bearings per corner could anyone point me to a chain parts store that stock these things and what I should expect to pay for them? subaru parts are pretty much special order items around my area for some reason. Also regarding the diff what type of fluid and how much does it take, is it case fill or does it fill through the trans? I've flushed the coolant, brake fluid and power steering already along with an oil change but I still need to flush the auto trans and change the diff. fluid.
  3. Thanks I found your site using the search feature last night and placed an oder then. hopefully a local dealer closer to the east coast can just ship it to me cause gas is killing me driving my street / strip mustang 60 miles up and back to work.
  4. the r/r strut on my 90 legacy is blown and the strut mount is shot, I had no problems finding a replacement sturt but know one had the mount? Anyone have a part number for it from the dealer or an aftermarket one and where could I get it? its a 90 2wd sedan non air suspension.
