2005 Struts
lmdew replied to nipper's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
I've used the Harbor freight ones for years, never had a problem. I do oil the threads to keep the nut from gauling. Larry -
Has anyone put the newer 2000 Legacy Power Steering pump into a 98 Legacy? It looks like if you pulled the complete system and hoses it would bolt right in. Looks like the newer Power Steering pump does not have the same leak issues as the older pumps. Are you seeing fewer leaks on the new pumps? Thanks, Larry

Don't the airbags have a long term warrantee? -

If you end up needing a good filler pipe, let me know I have a couple and could pull one for you. $25 shipped. Larry, CO -

Shawn you are going to make all of the rust belt people mad. Love CO, Larry -
A friend has a 99 SUS sedan 160K on it. It has a pretty good brake shimmy when stopping. Driving is fine and smooth. I checked for the normal things: - Turned the front rotors and installed new pads - Changed out the rack as there was a little play in it and I had a low mileage one (35K) - Checked for loose tie rod ends, wheel bearings, ball joints, they all seem fine. The front inner tire was worn down to the steel cords. I tried a different set of tires and rotating the tires on the car. While all of these efforts reduced the shimmy, none of them corrected it. She needs new tires, struts (not leaking but soft) and an alignment. I'd really like to find the source of the shimmy before new tires are put on. Anything I'm missing?

If you can put an amp meter in the circuit, start pulling fuses 1 by 1 and see where your draw is coming from. Lots of lights share a comon ground so if you lost the ground the lights will not work. On a 97 Impreza, some younger mechanics has cut the radio harness and saw 12vdc on one of the wires. They thought it was the power for the radio, when it was really the ground for all of the dash lights. The ground was provided by the radio or ash tray light. Get the wire diagrams and see where the ground and power are for all the circuits you are concerned with. I bet there is a common wire.
