I took a 97 OBS back to Wisconsin years ago. It just turned 300K. Rusty from being in WI for years but still ticking.

Re torque the top strut bolt going up throught the top mount. Did you do the work or a shop? If it was a shop, I'd take it back to them and see what they have to say.

Glad you are OK. Pics of the mirror and seatbelt would help. If you have a self serve junk yard near you, the parts would be cheap. Seat belt runs up the post under the plastic trim. The trim has one push pin on the rear side that needs to come out and then the plastic will pop off the post. It helps if it's warm. 10 mm bolts hold it in. The top I think is a 14mm bolt. Larry

Main Power relay up under the dash. Fuel pump relay Any related sounds missing when it dies. Do you loose all power?

The Laurelwood Public House in PDX is great! You by the Workhorse IPA and I'll do the work/subaru training, when the weather warms up.

Mileage? Maintenance history? Start with the basics: Check fluid levels, fill and or change fluids as necessary. If you don't have a Subaru maintenance book you can download the Factory Service Manual. Fill the Tank with the best gas you can get. A can of Heat will help with any water in the tank. NGK copper core plugs and NGK or Subaru plug wires. Get some miles on it and then see what else it needs: Timing Belt, seals, gaskets.... The 95 2.2 is a great engine.

Had the same on the 06 Forester after a radiator change. Clamp on the PS pump fixed the fault.

If I have not done the job before, I always like to hit the self serve junk yards and pull the part there. It's a great learning experience and you don't have to worry about breaking something you need. You've already done that with the car you parted out.

Check the radiator level when cool. See if it's full.

I have dual port Y-Pipes as well. Hope it all works out.

I have several CATS your for the shipping. 80919

Good Luck!

Get an old GL with H/L Transfer or a Jeep!

Driveshaft u-joints, mid bearing. How were the bushing for the rear diff?

You might want to drain the gear lube, inspect it and the drain plug. Plug will have fuzz but no part #'s. Also put your finger in the trans and feel around on the bottom once drained. I'd suggest Amsoil gear lube when you fill it back up. It might give you a longer life.

Thanks, I was going to see if he wanted my rear halfshafts. I hate to send them to the metal recyclers.

I think it was MWE that was rebuilding halfshafts in Denver CO. He painted them blue. I'm not finding them with a google search. Anyone know if they are still in business? Thanks, Larry

I have 4 rear halfshafts and 3 steering wheels that are free, you pay shipping 80919. The halfshafts are rears from 96-99 Legacy AWD. Steering wheels the foam cover is tight. If you want some, let me know. I hate to recycle them.

I'd drain the diff first and check for metal... Use Amsoil when you fill it. See if the noise changes.

That would cause a loss of power. Hope you didn't bend any valves!

You can clear the codes and see what comes back.

If you had bubbles in the overflow tank, most likely the HG are leaking. While it's nice to do all this other maintenance, it's most likely a waste of time and money. Make sure the fluids are all clean and topped off and start it up. Make sure the HG are not gone. If so a 2.2 swap is a good option IMHO.

Yes. Go to the Amsoil site and enter your year and model info. It will list the correct fluids.
