AKghandi Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 .. It's the thing your spark plug wires are hooked to the rotor is inside the cap there's a screw that holds it on. It's on the distributor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKghandi Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Well you'll seethe corrosion on the contacts they should be shiny copper. If you go to replace it make sure that you swap the plug wires one at a time so you don't confuse them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Agreed. Do not pull all the wires off the Cap at once swap one wire onto the new cap at a time, make sure you put it on the same terminal ather wise the firing order will be incorrect and backfire (At least there are only 4 wires plus the Coil in the center) try a V-8 Arrg!! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKghandi Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I like to think that the more you put into a car the more you will get out of it so I'd say go for it if you have the cash I'm probably the only person that enjoys throwing parts at my car lol.

Moosen Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Alright so got it replaced today. was kinda *************** but got it. Still knocking. my roll pin was pretty loose in the new cv and actually fell out. Is that why it is knocking? also where can i get a new one?

AKghandi Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Your roll pin fell out?? Never heard of that before.. Has the sound changed since you replaced the axle or is it the same? If you can make a video of the noise it may help us deduce the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can make a video of the noise it may help us deduce the issue Yes the sound changed. And it most definitely is not a cv axle anymore. I think it is the cone washer. I am almost sure of it. Because the sound is irregular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosen Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 so replaced con washer. helped but it is the wheel bearings at least the parts are cheap. now hmm.... i am in portland right now, anyone have a wheel bearing assembly or know of a junkyard where i can pick one up? les schwab quoted me 189 for parts and labor (100 in labor) but i think i can do it myself? and i just would rather do the whole hub then take it apart and do the bearings i think.

AKghandi Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 its eazy to do as they are all the same (ea82s anyway) ive actually replaced both my front knuckles..but i had a parts car..or three. you would be better off buying the bearings and taking the hub to a shop and pay them a half hr shop time to put them into the hub much cheaper that way. you might even be able to rent a bearing press. but that might be a little more spendy.

AKghandi Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 oriellys should have them rockauto should too.. and i think theres even a way to get ones that are better but a direct replacement.. IIRC they are only like$27 ea(you need 2..) http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/BCA0/207/03336.oap?year=1987&make=Subaru&model=GL-10&vi=1268681&******=Search_C0055_1268681_3158&pt=C0055&ppt=C0337 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKghandi Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 shop around tho some shops might not do it and some might but charge wayy too much.. a subaru shop would be the best bet i think it might be worth it to ask around BEFORE you pull the hub off. just to make things go more smoothly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosen Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 so fed up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Urgh replaced, cv, cone washer, and now the wheel bearings and nothing happened. Still clicking. WTF IS IT!?!?!?! Is there anyone in Portland that is willing to take a look at it with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosen Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Well still don't know what it is? are struts a possibility? I also read something about hydraulic lifters not getting enough oil? So far it hasnt been - axle, bearings, or cone washer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKghandi Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 shake the drive shaft and see if its the carrier bearing. it shouldn't move much if any. its a long shot but there's not a whole lot else it could be..:-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertsubaru Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Sounds like the splines in the hub got tore up because of the bad cone washers. Remove front axles and inspect the splines in the front hubs and on the axle stubs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
