Need help Replacing Pitching Stopper Bushings
subynut replied to subynut's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Looks like it. That's the one that would prevent the engine from pitching forward or backward right? Reason being is that the engine is tipped too far forward and the alt pully is rubbing on the rad cap. Also means I can't even take the rad cap off unless I take the alt off first! I don't have any clunking from underneath when I back up; unlike my sister's, that stopper was loose!! That one I used the jack on the oil pan trick and that quieted down the clunking. The half that attatches to the engine has a slot in it, so it can be adjusted. Mine is all the way forward, so I kant tighten it up anymore. :-( -
Need help Replacing Pitching Stopper Bushings

yup, the little guy that looks like a dog bone. Getting it out doesn't look too bad, but how do I mount it in the same place? -
How do? I think I need to lift the front of the engine to let the pressure off the stopper, but I have no way of lifting it. (engine hoist, big I-beam to pull on, etc.) Tried to push it up from the bottom, but that just bent the oil pan a bit. Need help, havn't driven me Suby for over a month and I'm getting depressed!!!:boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo:

I've got it on me 86. Deffinitly more gogo power, even with 205k miles and lousy compression! Bought mine at http://www.carbsunlimited.com works pretty good. Does run a little rich, but I think that's cause the jets are what came with the carb and I live at 4500 ft. elevation. No FPR - fuel starvation with it in. Prolly cause the fuel pump is still the orig! No return - didn't know I needed one at the time. Love it! No more difficult startin' when cold out! -
I've got the 12" electric fan from Hayden on mine. Works really good.

thumping from rear at low speed
subynut replied to soobruce's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Worn U-joint? Are the lug nuts on tight? Had that happen on my Suby, one was a loose wheel, the other time was a bad u-joint at the rear diff. Just my $.02. -
Oh yeah! I've got the 9004 silverstars in mine and your right, they DO make a diffrance. With the silverstars and my driving lights I can see signs about 1/4 mile away. Great for buzzin down the hiway at night! Do you know if they make them for the h3 single filiment bulbs:cornfuzz: I would like to replace the bulbs in the driving lights with them.

Replacing Rear Struts
subynut replied to loyalwithcheese's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Pardon my post jacking, but I'd REALLY like to know. What years, model, etc? Thanks And now, back to your regularly scheduled thread........:bday: -
Sorry 4 the delay, life got in the way. :-\ I kinda like the idle though approach instead of the ride the clutch then jump on the binders. I guess I've been around too many stock f250s with granny gears. :eh: Hope I didn't step on any shoes. Although, I was surprised how well 27" (I think that's what U'r runnin) tires on stock gears did. soobme: That's ok, my clutch is about shot and I've had it about.......... a year. Course, have U ever tried to smoke all 4 on dry pavement in 4hi? Didn't work. 4K rpm, :brow:WOT, droped the clutch, DOH! Only thing smoking, my CLUTCH! Oh twell, Ya live and and ya learn. I was just thinkin, if mr automatic had an extra 2:1, I think the auto would have worked! Ok, ok, I'll B quiet.

Awsome video guys! Loved it! he he......had the whole family watching it! My mom kept saying "WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO DO TO THOSE SUBIES? ARE THEY NUTS?" Of coarse we are!!! Subies ROCK!!! BTW, who owns the red one? I liked the gearing it had. Qman, you need better gearing. How often to you replace that clutch? And that hatch looked like it was about to fall over, but never did! how'd U manage that? Cool guys! Makes me want to modify mine! :clap:

Met my 1st real life Subaru-nut yesterday
subynut replied to TheSubaruJunkie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I'd jump on a set too! A customer in a blue early 80's 2wd wagon came in today, 200k miles, some rust, but in good shape over all. He also had a 99 legacy with 300K miles on it! Told him about the board etc. nice to know I'm not the only suby nut here in AZ. -
Man, I'm :boohoo: all over the keyboard! We MIGHT see one snow flake this year. Makes me miss Idaho! :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo:

Whats A Pitching Stopper And How Do You Adjust It
subynut replied to cole098's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Is that why my alt to rad cap clearance has dropped to the point that I cant even put my finger between them? Used to be that I could just pull back on the rad a little and take the cap off. NOW I can't even do that! :cornfuzz: -
AH HA!!!!!! Honda gremlins at it again!! Whatch out for them! They love to attack Subarus!!
-
You mean like I did the other day. I went to town to drop off my used oil at pepboys and when I turned the engine off it made this crack pop crackle sound! :cornfuzz: Curious, I turned the engine back on and HELLO!!!! the h2o temp guage is sittin up at 280!! DOH! Turned the fans back on and let her cool off and she's been ok since, but yeah, kina scary. oops:-\

FXD Headlight! What's that Canister do???
subynut replied to SubeeTed's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
It's the carbon canister. I think it works like this: It catches the fuel vapors when the car is off. then it injects the vapors back into the intake when the engine is running. Some have just a filter on the bottom, others have a tube like you described. I think there's like, 3-4 hoses going to and from the canister.
