Torn Rack and Pinion boot
Im no expert but I know they sell different colored boots for most cars with Racks so they should be replaceable. Have the dealer Or a garage you trust put it up on a lift and show you why the rack is bad besides the boot. If its sloppy or jumpy like its grinding when they turn it chances are the rack is bad. If you search there maybe rebuild kits for racks.

Torn Rack and Pinion boot
With that many miles depending on how long that boot was ripped then the rack could be bad because of all the contaminates that got in to the rack. The racks on these car aren't to hard to change and a lot of junkyards will have them. http://www.car-part.com/

04 Forester Rwd conversion
desertsubaru replied to 04FozzyXT's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXOn my 94 Grand Cherokee I can just take the front drive shaft out, Don't cost a cent except my time. Could never figure out why someone would want to change a perfectly good drive train that will give you better handling in awd to rear 2wd with worst handling. You can still drift in an awd Subaru.

SHOULD I BUY?
desertsubaru replied to Brodygraff's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHow much $? What size engine? Why a new subframe? Do You know the maintenance history. Was it driven hard or did they baby it. Need to know stuff like that before we can give an opinion. Also with that many miles on the engine it is close to do the timing belt if it hasn't been done since the engine was installed.

Rusted Coolant Line on '01 Outback H6
desertsubaru replied to Dubaru666's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI have used copper on cooling systems in the past with no ill affects. Old heater cores were copper and even my 94 jeep has copper lines going to the heater core. But as said if the part is cheap enough just buy it.

desertsubaru replied to Dubaru666's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI just looked at that pipe on my 2.5. looks to be about 1/2 inch in diameter. I would just get a 1/2 inch copper water pipe then cut it to the length you need.

Overheating Issue
desertsubaru replied to kyamyadog's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDid it over heat before pump and stat replacement? If not then the stat just may be the problem. It is the cheapest easiest first step to see if it is the problem.

Blue Devil product technical "help"
desertsubaru replied to ThosL's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSounds like snake oil to me. They know that only about 10% of the people it doesn't work for will ask for a refund. Then they make up all kinds of BS excuses not to refund your money. Does it say "money back" or does it say credit at store on the bottle?
