I)arkZrobe Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Just bought a Blue 99 Outback... (After several months of searching for a nice one in my price range). Anyway I noticed at higher speeds the mirror likes to shake and I was wondering what is the best way to fix that, also it seems loose... Thanks in Advance.

eryque Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 There's probably a screw loose. Grab it with your hand and wiggle it to figure out where the wobble is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I)arkZrobe Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Naw screws tight, The ball joint that the mirror is on is loose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzam Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 If you move the day/night lever to half way between does it tighten up? If it does you can remove the mirror form the windsheild and open up the back of the mirror and tighten the fork type thing that presses on the ball joint (2 screws). I've done it to a couple of them. One held fast, the other I have to redo about every 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I)arkZrobe Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 No vibrations that I think are harmful (Everything feels ok...) I think its more bumpy colorado roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcspeer Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I took mine off and wrapped the ball with one layer of tin foil, I done this as a part time fix and ordered a new one, however I have not had to put the new one on yet as the tin foil is still holding tight.
