yeah it's blue smoke. I do not have a lift. I got a jack! Right now I don't think I have annother option.

First, let me say that I LOVE my 95 subaru wagon. I know these boards are for the older gen. of subes, but this place has a lot of knowledgeable people. When I start her up in the morning a decent sized cloud of smoke comes it. It's depressing. She's using about a quart a week. sigh. Rings? Valve se...

All the info really helped, I had the new pads and rotors installed and good to go inside of 45 minutes. Thanks again for the help.

That's it, I'm coming to this site for all my bru questions. On the jobs I've done in the past, I have had to bleed the brakes. Do I assume the same here. The reason why is I've got about 1.5 hrs of sunlight from when I get home to get the job done, so naturally I'll cut every corner I can. Thanks a...

but i have done a few brake jobs in my day. i guess my biggest question is how to you get the pistons to retract. i know on some cars you can push them back in with a clamo, others you can turn and push, do the subaru brake pistons retract automatically? or do i have to persuade them? you guys are t...

I have a 95 legacy wagon and it started grinding on my way to work today. How tough of a driveway job is this? The parts are cheap enough. Any info or online article would be a great help. Thanks...Jim

My trusty 95 legacy wagon is coming to an end. She has been using oil for a while now, but now she is using a lot of oil. I can understand, it's got 160,000 tough miles, but I don't want to let her go. rebuild or used? I am thinking used cause it's gonna be a lot cheaper. what do you guys think? wha...

the differential? I want to say the noise is almost too dynamic, if that makes sense. I would think if it were the diff the noise would be localized, but it strange. this weekend i'm going to check the exhaust and all of my belt. i know i had a frozen tension pulley once, maybe it's that again. we'l...

if i am accelerating kinda fast, its a low whistle, but when the pedal is to the floor its loud. if i'm driving just regular there is no noise. kinda weird huh?

I never thought of wheel bearings, but I guess it could be, I don't know, it doesn't sound that way. It does sound like an exhaust leak, where would it be? looks like driveway time this weekend. thanks for the replies. Jim

Whole rear suspension eh? yeah well screw that. seems like a bit much to me. maybe I'll just make the front suspensio way good, i dunno. Oh yeah, my car is already AWD, and it still has drums in the rear. oh well, thanks for the replies.

i have a 95 legacy wagon that i want to convert to rear disk, anyone know whats involved? what parts do i need? anyone done it? junkyard parts or new? any info will help. thank..jim

I don't know what it is, but when i wind up my car, it starts making a wistling, high pitch screaming noise. it happens between 2500 and 4500 rpm in every gear except first. i thought it was belts, but it sounds like its coming from the back. exhaust leak? belts anyway? gremlins having a good time? ...

I know my car is a little newer, but we don't seem to have a message board, anyway, does anyone know if i can put 2002 WRX wagon suspension (springs/struts complete) on my wagon? I know the spring rate is stiffer in the front, but it seems way softer in the back. will they bolt right on? any help is...
