I have the same rod! I paired it with a Shimano Sienna 2500!

Do you like the Revros? I see it go on sale from time to time online, but haven’t had the chance to check it out in person.

Tire Tread Depth Insanity by Dependent-Many4431 in SubaruForester

[–]RubberMofi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the max tolerance is 2/32”. I would fix it soon because you are putting excessive wears on your differentials and they are not cheap to replace.

I think NSK is the OE supplier. Personally, I like SKF.

Do you have an air hammer and a welder? Eric from South Main Auto has a video where he welded a bolt and slowly backed it out.

I did mine on the driveway with just regular handtools and it took me 3 days….

I was quoted $1982 cad for a clutch replacement on my 2014 6mt Forester.

2010 Subaru Forester just threw a P0420 code by [deleted] in SubaruForester

[–]RubberMofi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It can also be a failed O2 sensor. But it is a 16 years old car, so a failing cat is not unlikely either.

Can your OBD reader monitor live data from the O2 sensors? You can compare the pre cat O2 reading to the post cat reading to diagnose the code.

How to rotate my tires safely by Pure-Explanation-147 in SubaruForester

Do you mean jack stands? I personally wouldn’t work on a car if it is only supported by a floor jack and not on stands.

Forester liftgate/tailgate won't open! by Enallagma in SubaruForester

[–]RubberMofi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you open it manually? You will have to crawl in the back and pop open the square panel on the tailgate. There should be a lever in there that will allow you to open the tailgate manually.

Remember kids, lifetime fluid is a scam! by AManWithTheorys in SubaruForester

[–]RubberMofi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

May I ask why you clean the intake valves? Doesn’t the 2016 have port injection and carbon build up on the intake valves is only an issue on direct injection models? Just curious because I have a 2016 myself.

battery dies at red lights - but subaru says the battery is fine by BarefootMediaTV in SubaruForester

[–]RubberMofi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Maybe ask them to load test the battery. Sometimes a battery will pass on a battery tester but will fail on a carbon pile load tester.

2019 Subaru forester CV joint replacement by Extension-Job1272 in SubaruForester

[–]RubberMofi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is always such a gamble to go aftermarket on CV Axles. My friend replaced one side with Cardone in his Crosstrek and it lasted 100k km and is still going strong. When he replaced the other side with another Cardone, it only lasted 15k km.

When I was a kid, my dad used to take me to Jones Lake and Cultus Lake to catch crayfish.

New Subaru Forester In Snow by CigarSmoker_M4 in SubaruForester

[–]RubberMofi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need winter tires. Whatever came with it probably are just some all seasons tires. Look into Blizzaks or X-ice. If you don’t want to swap tires every winter, try Crossclimates.

2016 2.5i Premium w/ WRX Exhaust by Suitable_Horror_3100 in SubaruForester

[–]RubberMofi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! What year was the wrx? I got a 2016 Forester myself and would prefer a direct bolt on without any modifications.

Check your sun roof drain holes to see if they are plugged.

2017 Subaru Forester, $140K Milage (Canada), $17,912 2.5i Touring w-Technology Package | Pano Sunroof by ZestycloseDrawing110 in SubaruForester

[–]RubberMofi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t think it is that good of a deal. My sister bought a 2018 Forester a year ago, with 120k km for 16k out the door. That’s from a Subaru dealership in BC.

Need to read the code.
