  1. Yup. Haven't cultivated the new staff yet... I see the Moog sway bar links have zerk fittings to be greased for maintenance. Genuine Subaru links are drive until they fail.
  2. 2008 Outback clunking on bumps. Front lower control arm bushings have a lot of play when moved with pry bar. One is torn. Rear sway bar links have play and click sound when manually moved. Any recommendations for parts to use and/or avoid? Or just use genuine SOA? BTW, I have watched a few Youtube videos like THIS where people have used 3M Window Weld Polyurethane to refurbish control arm and other bushings but the thickness required would require at least 24 hours or more drying time and this is my only transportation right now.
  3. red oil is palm oil + menthol
  4. make sure you aren't draining the AT fluid (is your's at or mt?) check twice f'up once
  5. Damp weather rough running until warm. Cyl 3 fault code. Switched wires and fault stayed at cyl 3 so I'm supposing bad coil. Advance Auto has a few options: Thoughts? Carquest $85 Beck/Arnley $96 NGK $120 25% coupon code RMN5 saves a few additional bucks

    Your post is confusing but if you need to do a brake job on the 06, it's simple even for a simpleton.

    Let know if you need any tips as I may even have a set of pads.

  7. Wow, that video would seem to indicate that you might get codes reading adjacent cylinders. any thoughts of oem or aftermarket (specify brand if you like) for a replacement? as I said I have already swapped wires and the code fault stayed with the cylinder so the wires would seem to be OK.
  8. or insurance purposes?? Just ran into Moosens and noticed that he had 2 driveshafts in the rear of his pickup. I asked if they were for 2001 but no, I don't think they were even 90s vintage. who here (besides Moosens) drives around with not one but two Subie driveshafts "just in case?"
  9. P0303 is Baaaack! I swapped cylinder 1 and 3 wires a few months ago but the code doesn't follow the wires. Still showing cylinder #3. Was pretty cool and rainy around here for a few days then popped over 90 today. The garage was dripping with condensation. Ran rough until I opened the hood outdoors and let the humidity settle down. Coil? If coil it is, any opinions on decent aftermarket or any ole one'll do?
  10. All gone on CL except a set of original floor mats front and back. FYI the cargo rubber mat was tan, the cargo top coverage was black. The floor mats are a little soiled but hey free is good. Come an get 'em. Your's for the asking.
  11. found it Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) I bought a reman unit for my 05 and all is well. I will try and find the invoice and update post. Found it: Partsgeek.com for around $250 There are always $15 coupons floating around. Let me know if you need one. They are always bombing my mailbox. 1 2005 Subaru Outback Driveshaft Brand A1 Cardone SKU 65-7001 Tracking Number 358507715197109 Shipped with FedEx on Aug 06, 2018 Re-orderReview Product Qty Ordered 1 Qty Shipped 1 Price $241.98 Core $20.00 Looks like the prices have jumped in the past 3 years YIKES its now at $338 for the same part. I would probably still go the cheapest route. They either work or not.
  12. I bought a replacement for ~$200 for my 05 OB and may have posted the source. I'll noodle back through my history and check... stay tuned. Sold the car recently and pitched all the paperwork. It was either through RockAuto, Parts Geek or Carparts.com I likely went for the cheapest one figuring they would either work or not and the car already was approaching 200K. The local rebuilders wanted nothing to do with this shaft here in CT.
  13. I'll pile on with the obvious: wheel balance, bad tires. But, if you've checked everything else... check play in the drive shaft? It's more of a rumble though in my experience. Model, year and especially mileage might help in the diagnosis.
  14. From 1 Nipper to another... the 1-2-3 option shows up when HD is selected. They are substations. If you have issues with poor signal, disable HD is suggested.
  15. BTW, if you have a PepBoys near you, there is currently a full rebate ($29.99 less $30 mail in rebate) on 5 quart jug of Rotella oil. Various grades, its marketed as truck and suv but hey it's oil and spec'd properly. limit 2 per household. That $70 sounds pretty harsh.
