I need an engine (NOT turbo) for Subaru Outback 5M/T 4WD 2457 cm3, year
2002, chasiss number starting with JF1BH9LJB26057000 and engine Number
B576107. I need only the engine (the head and that part where cylinders
are-main parts of engine), I don't need water pump etc.

Very slow and unpredictable downshifts especially from D to 3 when you
would need it most like merging onto a freeway. I usually downshift it
manually in advance if I think I'm might need some extra pull (and I'm
talking conservative driving). I have heard this is common in ...

I am trying to find where the Air Control Value is located on a 1991
Legacy.
I have not been able to find a picture or an explaination where the Air
Control valve is located so I can troubleshoot the valve.

Since switching to Catrol Syntec 10-30, I seem to be losing oil at about a
1/2 quart every two weeks.  I know about average oil consumption but I never
lost oil with dyno or syntec blend.  I have no external leaks nor any smell
of buring oil.  Coolant looks good, no change in ...

Noticed a slight vibration sound when turning the wheel to the left
moving slowly (fwd or reverse). Took to local Subaru dealer who
diagnosed as strut bearing failure. After replacing it, I could feel
the "roughness" between the race and bearings, so it was a problem.

My 1999 Subaru Forester makes a loud slapping noise when the front
windshield wipers are on.  Also, the wipers don't always park in the
same location. Sometimes are they are up a couple inches more than they
should be from the bottom of the windshield. I tried replacing the

Thinking of buying a 1998 Legacy L Wagon with 158k and great body. The
only issue is that it has an engine tick for about 5 minutes when cold
starting. The mechanic at the dealer says he thinks it's from a piston
slap. Most posts I've read on here and elsewhere deal with the 2.5L

I have a 92 Legacy Wagon. I live on a rather rough gravel road and I've
had a problem with my tires wearing out. I'd like a to
1) get the most durable tire possible
2) If I get a little better ground clearance, that would ahve

I am looking to install a aftermarket gauge pack on my 2002 Impreza
which consists of a Oil Pressure, Water Temp and Voltmeter. I have
installed the oil pressure gauge and am about to install the water
temperature sensor. The problem that I have is that there's only 1

I never have more fun than when I can take my Subaru on unpaved roads.  The
Subaru just seems at home there more than on paved roads.  Unfortunately I
live in Eastern MA and there are not too many unpaved roads in the area, at
least that I know of.  Any suggestions, my B9 Tribeca is ...

I have a 1988 GL 1.8 SPFI 4WD wagon.  In August I noticed that when the
engine started up cold sometimes it would die or if I shifted it into
neutral and let the clutch out that would be enough resistance to kill
the engine.

I just looked at a 2007 Outback (base 2.5L, manual, ~19.5k) to
replace my recently deceased Ford and I liked it, both the storage
space and the ride and handling. Since I am a newbie with both Subies
and AWD I thought I would ask a few stupid questions.

Any comments good or bad on the Baja?  I am thinking about buying one.

I have a 94 Legacy Station Wagon that has about 150k miles on it and
still runs great, but I took it in to get the oil changed and was told
that the front axle shaft was cracked and this sticky stuff was
exposed.  However, it was late in the day and the mechanics decided not

2004 WRX STi: When I get to 80mph or so there's a slight shake in the
steering wheel. Is this something I'd expect as being normal within the
limits of wheel balancing, etc.?
