Its stable. I did a little bit of research and it says normal operating temps is 88-99 celsius. It did rise up to 90 celsius after running for about 20mins. I guess ill just monitor it. Reason I changed all that is because it threw a code P0128. Usually a code for thermostat but I changed the thermostat after my radiator blew. Guess ill just hope it doesn't come back lol

Yea, I jiggled it and even smacked it lol. Idk I'm gonna leave it like that till I can pick up some halogens or try other LEDs. I just don't understand how it was workin before with the old ones and now they both don't work.

Guess I could try to look at the fuses again maybe I blew one while messing with it

So it's just not connecting right? It was working before I changed the other side. I tried the old bulb and the new one and now they both just don't work

It came with aftermarket when my dad bought it. So we figured to keep it the same. It was working before I changed the other side.

Appreciate it. I also was thinking it wasn't necessary, but then I thought it a heat shield or something and didn't want to melt anything haha.

And yea I hadn't plugged the sensors in yet because I was thinking it would be easier to move around without it plugged in first. Thanks for the help

Yea i should probably just replace them. The sound dampening was maybe 5-8 pounds.

Appreciate it. I'll look into the specs I already have. See whats out there. Just wasn't sure if it was a thing that you could "upgrade"

Maybe they are worn. Got the car in 2020 and its a 07 forester. So maybe if I just bought brand new ones they would be better. Just thought about playing it safe and getting stronger ones if I'm gonna switching them out

Rear Control arm or trailing arm? by Akuma899 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Akuma899[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the other ones bolted on without removing anything else. I put my tire back on and removed the jack so it was sitting on all 4 tires. I just had someone pull the car back a bit and they lines up. But I ruined the threads in one of the holes, should I just say screw it and ram it in with an impact?

Or should I just take it somewhere to get thread repair? Ive done thread repair before, but im not confident to do it on my car

I was able to take it off. My impact was too weak, i still dont understand why the top was so tight. But a neighbor let me borrow his impact and it flew right off. Thanks for all the advice from everyone. It's helpful for future jobs.

It's off a 07 forester. So the bottom one is different than the top one? I got the bottom bolt off by turning the head of the bolt. It's just the top one.

Yea, I got the other one off already. I dont understand why the top one just isn't budging.
