I paid 150 for a complete parts car with a dual range!!

yeah the alloys are the ones that are different. I have some that have a different off set than others

Are they the 14" alloys?

I'm all for making my own stuff!!! Sounds like a cool idea to me. Yes you are supposed to have a 15* angle on it so the camber isn't that bad. But I am running blocks without that and it's fine, but you will see a little more tire wear in the long run. We would all love pics of the project as well!!!

I have stacked blocks before with out any issues. But make sure you use grade 8 bolts!!! Also, I hope you intend on spacing the struts down the same amount as the body

There are diff off sets, I have a two full sets, 14" and 15" and a few other 14" spares and there are different off sets, especially with my 14 " alloys

Red and black!! Also, I have the piece of interior trim you need. It's not perfect but it would cover that up and wouldn't look too bad with a good cleaning. Lemme know if you want it

Are you sure the shifter is going down enough when you push down on it? I was having a similar problem in my car and I had bend my shifter up a little so it would clear the interior trim

the 3593A is what fits on ALL EJ motors that I have ever worked on.

Do you have any access to any newer Subarus? Like a GC Impreza? I've always wanted a light bar for the front, just something simple, light weight, and cheap! Lemme know!!

I ordered the chime module, it should be here Friday, so we will see!!

You will hardly notice if you remove the sway bar. I travel over 75 often with my lifted GL and notice no difference at all, it may even handle better!!! Plus it does help off road

Man I wished I had pulled those from my parts Brat and you could have had them with the bed chrome!!!! Next time I know!

Sounds good, and I assume it was the same problems I'm having? I think I will be driving by a dealership tomorrow so I will check it out! Thanks!!

Give him a chance, he is after all, half your age and still learning:-\

Yeah if the axle had pulled apart than it prob wouldn't turn very easily. I'm guessing that the control arm is just at an "off" angle and needs maybe some hammering and/or some pry bar usage. Keep at it. I know all about "easy" projects that go harder than they are supposed to!!

There is a chance that the axle pulled apart, but it should slide back together. Try using a little more force, maybe even a hammer to persuade that control arm in. Once you get that in, it should all go back together.

Yeah I found it and even removed it, it's Brown on this car. It looks like it is in good shape visually. But who knows. I will call the dealer tomorrow and maybe see if I can talk to a tech, and see what he says. Thanks guys

It effects the toe because it is pushing out on the back of the assembly which makes the front point in. Also, to take the strut out of the knuckle. you would leave the top strut bolts bolted on and remove the lower strut bolts and apply downward pressure on the knuckle to remove from the strut. Then remove the top 3 bolts and pull strut down. Then bolt on the block and strut back onto the car, then angle the knuckle out, and push on the strut so it kinda "pops" into the knuckle. You will still have to "persuade" the strut the rest of the way into the knuckle. Good luck!

Is this the one you were talkin about?

yes, the alarm goes off when you open the door, or if the door is left open, if you try to start it. But no it does not even crank. I did ask on the saturn forum and haven't had a single reply

The reason I told you that is because that is how I have done it on 4 different cars. I don't know why yours is not working that way. But don't get aggravated at everyone else. It isn't a big deal. You have to turn the wheel left and then push on the rearward side of the rotor and that should push the control arm back in, then slip the bolt through and you'll be all good!! Just keep your cool!!

Well we are back to the same problem!! Now it won't start again and it doesn't matter if I take the fuse out or anything! I hate domestic cars!!

I don't understand what was so hard, All I have ever done is just unbolt the top strut bolts and pryed down on the assembly and slipped in my blocks. Then bolted it back together.
