We have an LL Bean edition Outback Wagon with an automatic
transmission, about 65K miles, that is starting to have some problems.
First we had the left-front wheel bearings replaced (thumping noise
when turning to the right). Now it seems that the transmission is

Does anyone know of any crossbars for a Legacy wagon that won't
howl/whistle when driving at speed?

Si vous avec l'intention d'acheter un 2006 Subaru Outback  0.3OR VDC, je
vous conseil fortement d'en faire l'essai avant de l'acheter, surtout pour
la stabiliter sur la route.

I recently replaced all 4 tires on my '00 Outback Limited. The original
Potenzas were toast; but 94K wasn't a bad run for those as OEM!
The OEM size by the manual is 225/60R-16 , as were the Potenzas. I upped
that to 235/60's, Falken ZE512's.

Just bought a fantastic 93 Loyale...everything is perfect except the
radio doesn't save presets I've put in..
In fact, every time I start the car, the radio goes to AM at the lowest
frequency, not remembering anything, so every time I have to click for

It does not seem right - my wifes 2002 Impreza TS 2.5 needs a pair of
new CV-joints. The specific sound while turning started coming up at
about 90K miles, now 5K later is quite strong.
Any comments why their are gone so fast?

I know this has been discussed but I couldn't find it now that I want
it. :(
2005 Forester XT.  Got something in right-rear tire, probably a big
nail. :(  Had the wheel changed for the spare.  The vehicle has about

Subaru Legacy, 1992, 168K - More and more frequently, when I start the
car, the Power light on the dashboard (next to the Manual light)
flashes 16 times. Generally, this is accompanied by extremely sluggish
and stiff grinding when i turn sharply - i.e., into a parking space or

In September, 2005, the auto transmission would not engage in drive for
10 to 20 seconds, and then with a kick.  Subaru dealer said there were
59,000 miles on vehicle, but warranty expired a month before.  Too bad
for me.  I took it to an independent transmission shop that changed ...

Hey, all.
I'm seeing a symptom with my 02 WRX wagon which kind of bugs me, and I
don't really know how to explain it intelligently. So I'll explain it
anecdotally.

    I have a 1990 loyale with about 165,000 miles on it.  The other
day the check engine light came on, and has stayed on ever since.  The
oil pressure is good, and the temperature is good.  Can anyone tell me
what else could cause this light to go on?

I can't open the hatch!  It happened before, and some guy just pulled harder
and got it open.  But this time, I hit it on the inside with a sledge
without result (with the latch clamped, of course).
Do I have to take the cover off of the inside of the hatch to fix it, or do

I have noticed extreme dust build up on front wheels since replacement of
front rotors and pads about 12000 miles ago. The wheel will go from
completely clean to black with dust in 300 miles (500 km). I expect that the
new pads may be a 'soft' friction material.

I have a 1990 legacy sedan with 175,000 miles on it. A few months ago
the check engine light started to come on after the car had been driven
for at least 10 minutes, then had been stopped and restarted. But,
after a sufficient amount of down time, about 6 hours, the light would

I have the 2006 Outback VDC 3.0, and, am noticing (more and more, I think)
that when using the air conditioner, it seems to cycle on and off a lot.
I don't mean that the fan cycles, the "cold" cycles--the blown air goes
cold, then warm, then cold, every few seconds (seems like ...
