I'm looking to do some towing, and a pretty long distance, I'm a bit worried about it so I'm looking for some inpsiration..lol.

Anyone towed anything pretty heavy and for a long distance? Any problems?

I will have pics up tonight, the brief; 93 Leg L (Auto) FWD Copper-ish color? Mechanically very sound! LOTS of new, both front axles, ball joints, brand new brakes all the way around- new rotors and pads, less then 300 miles on them. Recent oil change, brand new plugs, fuel filter, air filter, trann...

I have read some about people having corroded body grounds, I have some suspicion that mine are. Can someone tell me where these grounds are, and how do I locate them? I have already replaced both of my battery/starter cables, however I have not been able to find these body grounds. Can someone help...

already found one, thanks guys!

vf-11 turbo?

how much for the vf11 turbo, shipped to 75244?

jrsleeper -let me know please.

know1, not much from what i've seen, like $50? How many miles? Shaft play?

anyone???

At this point, you may of ruined the alternator also, I would stop driving it on this weak system, go to a autozone or pep boys and have them test the alt and battery, they do it for free and takes literally 2 minutes.

Matt, sent you a PM. Thanks!

anyone???

how much for the rear brake assembly, meaning, calipers, brackets, lines, ebrake cable, hubs and knuckles. Everything but the rotors and pads. Shipped to 75244.
Thanks!

as the title says, need a vf-11 turbo in good shape, no shaft play. Need shipped to 75244. Let me know what you got.

Thanks!

EDIT - GOT ONE. Please close thread.

I thought about wheel bearing, but have never heard one make such a noise, they tend to humm and whistle, not pop...but who knows?

I'll have to check the strut nuts and mounts. Thanks guys

I need a rear disc brake setup from a 93+ Legacy, I need calipers, brackets, rotors, hubs, knuckles, brake lines, ebrake cable...pretty much everything except pads. Shipping to 75244.

Thanks!

So I still have a noise that I can describe as a "thump thump thump" or a clunk clunk - coming from the front, that i ONLY get in long LEFT TURNS. So far up front I have replaced - both axles, both end links, both ball joints, brakes and rotors are brand new. The only thing I havent replac...

terminals? Just replace the neg and pos batter cables, they have the connectors on them, you can get the cables at autozone for dirt cheap, like $8/each. And they take like 5 mins to replace.

my advice would be never add that crap to your engine, fix your leaks!! This car is very easy to work on compared to most cars, chances are its your valve cover gaskets, which is a 40 minute job.

Got the car back today, they warrantied their work so it didnt cost me anything..yay. The problem was that damn R134 fitting (charge port) AGAIN..somehow it worked itself loose, so they just had to retighten it again, and recharge the system. If it leaks again, i'll just buy a new fitting, its possi...

I'm not sure how they tested for leaks, apparently they are supposed to be a pretty good ac shop, i dropped my car off there tonight, and will know the answer tomorrow sometime, i'll update you guys.
Thanks for the input.

on this fuggin car????!!!!!! First 3, yes THREE times it leaked, i attempted to fix/find the leak myself, i thought i did it. Would hold charge for about 2 weeks, then poof, gone. Finally got fed up and took it to not one, BUT TWO different auto shops, one of them specialized in AC repair, first sho...

Oil was really high, did an oil change and put the correct amount of oil in. Problem persists. Checked the oil for signs of coolant leakage, there were none. If it was overfilled, you most likely dumped some oil down into the cats, if you're lucky they may dry out and be ok, but its possible they a...

has anyone personally used this ebay kit? I question some of the cheap ebay car parts, I know some vendor made a kit like this for my S4, it was all garbage, cheap chinese crap. I hope this kit is better!

I'm still stumped here, i've looked at everything that is visually possible to inspect and can't see anything wrong. And those electrical diagrams are just a tad confusiing. Don't think i'll fix this in time before this weekend, if any of you have any luck fixing yours, please let me know how you di...

Did you check the fluid level before adding 2 qts? You dont want to be over filling the tranny, and you checked the fluid while the car was running right? Sounds like you may of busted a cv axle, inspect the axles real well, its possible you separated a joint inside the boot, car wont move if thats ...
