Check the signal and power wires going to the starter itself. Have had numerous cars where the terminals get corroded and after heating up builds up more resistance and causes and slow crank and at times a no crank. Hope this helps, Greg

That's where my concern lies... I'm well aware of the outback to legacy difference and know the wagon is going to be heavier in the rear but wouldn't think there would be a ride height difference but possibly ride quality. And I'm not one to load up my wagon with extra weight in a regular basis so there is only the bit of extra load from the glass and hatch but guessing it's no more than 200lbs, which in reality really isn't that much of an extra load. And I know I can the correct ones online but it's easier and cheaper to get them from my shops suppliers and only going after the instant gratification because whatever broke let go completely Friday night and trying to fix asap.

Hello all, so I was a long time member on here but fell out of the subaru game for a few years and forgot all of my old account info but with that being said I've been driving subaru for years and have owned more than I ever thought I would. Always love a good cheap second hand subie that needs some love and thats why I'm here always know I can get some good info out of some really good people. Basic car info 05 Legacy 2.5i A/T Wagon with ~188k and lots of issues. But for now my question is, I have a terrible rear suspension noise. creak,squeak, and knock. earlier today I replaced the rear upper control arm inner bushing that were shot and the source of similar noise on my old 05 legacy gt sedan, but unfortunately they were not the culprits. So now I am leaning towards rear strut mounts being shot and after looking at my local shop suppliers I could only find loaded sedan rear struts in stock and at half the price. After a quick look online at some other forums I could only gather that the spring rate is the only difference between the two So will the sedan struts be ok to run in the wagon? This is just a daily driver, no frills vehicle so not worried about performance gain/loss unless it might be something drastic. Well any input is highly appreciated and gotta say it feels so good to be back in a subaru and a wagon!!!!! Thanks, Greg
