does your wagon have fender/wheel well liners? its possible you just bent the inner plastic liner back against the hub/body of the car and you're now hearing it hit on wheel/tire/etc when in motion this would happen if you went through the water too fast, those liners will tear pretty easily Jamie

what kind of shape are your exhaust HANGERS in? are they stretched? thus causing the exhaust to hang lower than it should? Jamie

huh? my 2.5 has 90k and is just fine depends on the model model year if you are at risk. but no way would i just assume my hg's are going to go and put 3k into a turbo/engine conversion

http://techinfo.subaru.com/html/index.jsp you can download subaru's factory manuals here jamie

www.allsubaru.com hehehehee. hiiiiiiiiiii! jamie

progressive sucks i would never insure with someone who has class action lawsuits pending and yes at one time they scammed me out of $300 good luck!!!!! jamie

had the exact same symptoms on my Phase I and it was bad HG's... i did what you're doing... (thermo, radiator, hoses replaced...) and ended up needing a new block as well as i drove it too long with the issue and the block cracked from heat damage do yourself a favor face the music and fix it now before it gets much much worse (if it's not too late) Jamie

www.rockblocker.com or www.stongard.com i have stongard on all of my subaru's on the lights as well as the paint stuff... works.... great!!! after spending $100 per fog light lense... and after breaking 2 of them... installed the stongard for $24.95 and never looked back 3 years later, still working, still clear, no yellow, no fading. hope this helps Jamie

could also be bad tie rod ends... Jamie

it's defo a cat or 02 sensor really, the only way to know for sure is to go to subaru have them put the car on the select monitor and diagnose exactly what the issue is....

both of my imprezas are on Redline HeavyDuty Shockproof, front/rear. those of you in colder climates should probably stick to the 75W/90 Redline rules. i buy mine from: www.summitracing.com cheers jamie

misfire codes are tough to diagnose. plugs, wires, ecu? coil pack? injectors? could be a handfull of things... if you dont want to try to sort it yourself, get it to a pro to help you diagnose. Jamie

likely means that your front 02 sensor has gone sour. Jamie

www.cars101.com has tons of subaru stats, archives and info

sounds like a bad slave and/or master cylinder worn slave cylinder - when warm can act up and make the clutch pedal go soft... aka go to the floor it's best to swap slave and master at the same time they usually crap out together. slave cylinders rarely go bad? i beg the differ we have a shelf full of them - reason? they are a wear item, and wear out hope this helps. Jamie

i guess i need your vin to get a good part number and be 100% sure i came up with 27550AC000 - $59.96 26750AA003 - same part, different model - $82.75 i can verify what you need with your VIN number. shout if we can help. Jamie

u still want me to look up parts/pricing for you? or u need to do some research first? Jamie

i work for subaru... in parts tone ring? never heard of it. there is a tone WHEEL which is part of the hub assembly... our cost on that is $59.96 what year legacy do you have and what exactly broke?? maybe i can help Jamie

AGAIN, they are not available from subaru in anything other than the complete unit try www.google.com for "used subaru parts" i've used www.aaronsauto.com and Halspartsandservice.com with much success good luck! Jamie

i'll get you specifics on tues when i get back to work but most wheel bearing are $59 and typically you need a couple of seals as well you will need a shop to press the bearing for you... but buying the parts wholesale will save $$$ on this type of repair for sure. more info Tues! Jamie

subaru sells fog light assemblies only as complete units thus, the price... you get the bulb, harness, lense assy... it's complete check with wholesale on line dealerships such as www.allsubaru.com and www.subaruwrxparts.com - even if you dont see the item on their sites, they can get it to you, and at wholesale pricing. Jamie

breaker bar and some good muscle if you dont have access to a torch or air tools... and yes, they will break. expect to use lots of wd-40 good luck! Jamie

who does your alignments?

and i refer people to ccr all the time with no hesitation thanks and congrats on your 10th anniversary! Jamie

definately for the drain plug not for the filter Jamie
