Good Driveshaft shop can rebuild it.

Rule #1, if it isn't broken don't fix it. It happens to us all. The inner tire-rod end's wear out as well.

Put the FWD fuse in and see if it makes a difference.

Yes my 2005 Impreza has to bulbs the H1 Low beam and a separate Hight Beam bulb.

Big hammer on the front and rear of the lower arm. Hit it hard and the taper will release. I never used a fork, cause I don't have one.

I tried a set of LED H1 bulbs. They did not work so back to original.

Dam Turbos! :>)

1+ Flush and bleed they system. New hose master to slave if it's original.

Well, 2 poor starters from NAPA caused the slow crank issue. The replacement Positive cable helped but when he got a good starter, much better. Aftermarket AT cooler added - has improved the Trans AT Temp. Still taking a bit of starting fluid to get it to start. Once running, it's fine. He can shut it off and start it right back up so fuel pump is working. I'm thinking the ECU is not turning the fuel pump on initially to build pressure. He's checking with a pressure gauge tee into the fuel line. If it's the ECU, I told him we could add a switch to the control circuit of the relay which would let him turn on the pump prior to start. I have to look, but I believe the ECU is just providing a ground for the control circuit of the fuel pump relay. Easy Button, if that's the case.

I have a 2005 Impreza RS wagon that has the H1 bulbs in it. Anyone have any feedback on the H1 LED Headlight Bulbs? Thanks, Larry

I heard a sizzling and the engine slowly stopped? Like wires shorting out? Slowly stopped? RPM dropped but it was still going? Have you checked for Spark? Put an extra plug in, ground it and turn it over. Nice strong blue spark? If so, add a small amount of fuel into the intake throttle body. Does it start and run for a bit? Is it cranking over normally? What prompted the engine change? Did you do the timing belt or any other maintenance on the engine before the installation?

Those 3 lines are fuel lines. Replace them. If it's been sitting that long, most likely no ac refrigerant in the system. The orings on the compressor and condenser are common leak points. You can get a cheap charge kit and put it in. You might get lucky!

Takes about 3 gallons for a full flush this way.

Drain Pull the trans coolant line and put on temp lines into a drain jug. 1- Fill Trans 2- Start it up and let the trans pump all the old fluid out the line you put on the trans coolant into a gallon jug. 3- When the drain jug is 3/4 full - Turn car off. Repeat 1-3 until the fluid is nice and clean. Put the trans radiator coolant lines back on and start it up. Fill to full COLD. Test drive, check fluid Full to HOT.
