Clearly I am missing something, or there are multiple versions of the lights on Subaru's if nothing else. My wife's 97' L has factory fog lights. They are...
I'm in atlanta, GA. Are you sure they are the ones I need? What year was yours? Are these twist on? I bought the wrong kind before, so I'm trying to be...
It's been a while since I visited this board- good to see it alive and well! My 1999 Outback Sport now has about 106,000 miles on it. Relatively trouble free,...
No, I haven't had any issues myself, but I've heard more than a couple people with wheel bearing problems. Browse around endwrench.com There's some info...
You should check to see if it has been a while since your last wheel bearing replacement, because when mine started going out, I mentioned the article to my...
Ellery: What symptoms did you observe and what sounds did you hear when the wheel bearings started to go out? H.W. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR ***********...
I heard a roaring noise that would appear when I go about 40 mph+ That is usually the tell-tale sign. ~Ellery ... when the wheel ... wheel ... mentioned ... ...
Well, I talked with the tech who replaced my bearings the last time- it was about 20,000 miles ago. He said at the time they used a genuine Subaru bearing-...
That is good that you have found a technician that you trust outside from the dealership. That is very hard to find. I am just now building a rapport with an...
Well, they replaced the bearing- with a BCA this time. After inspecting the old one, apparently there was a seal failure of some sort allowing water to enter...
My 1999 has a hatch rattle. A fix discussed before, but one I've been too lazy to try, was to take a piece of tubing, slit the side, and put it on the U-shaped...
I'm getting ready to replace my original tires (Potenzas) with new ones this month. I was looking at the Falken ZE 512, as they were rated the best in...
Personally, if you're not going to be driving over 99MPH then I would just get one a set of tires with the longest treadwear warranty. Unless you're not...
Knowing what type of weather (very hot/sticky, or very cold/icy) that you normally drive in will allow us to give you better recommendations. Also, what are...

Short answer: Completely Happy I haven't tried any other "real" snow tires to compare them to. As far as normal tires go, the OBS still slides well on slick...
The only reason for a hatch to rattle is not enough pressure against the "compression bumpers". These hatches have rubber stops which they hit and compress...
Opps, forgot to include that info! I live in Maryland, so basically all kinds of weather - hot humid summer, rain, cold winters, snow, etc. 4 seasons. I...
I think the Potenza's are a pretty marginal tire. Not really that great in any category. I second Levi's recommendation of the Kumho Ecstas. They're the hot...
The techinfo.subaru.com site has TSBs but you may have to subscribe to see them which costs $19.95 for 72 hrs. Of course you could also grab everything else...

My 93 makes a pretty good rumble when in a hard right turn ....... very hard turn.... When subjected to side load and most of the weight shifted to the left...
I just installed Toyo Proxes TPT H on my 2002 OBS and I love them. I had the same complaint about the noise of the Potenzas, which is why I chose the Toyos....
Well in the land of short run fixes, a little bit of duct tape on the metal hoop where the door latch fastens has given a tight enough fit or perhaps simply no...
I am happy to hear stories like this about the OBS. I'm more convinced now than when I bought my OBS (May 04) that I'll be holding on to this car for a long...
