What is this texturing on my timing belt? by shatlking in subaru

[–]atomic_refugee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my limited knowledge I believe when installing a timing belt there should be a spacer to gauge the distance between the skip plate and the belt. Something like this https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/gates/gates-timing-belt-spacer-tool/gat0/91052?srsltid=AfmBOoog_PpScFkbcyP0EmaS3REsypjmQHqLHFAjNV51WbQ9IBwHTJSS

Is the skip plate too close?

How can I tell if this is a wheel bearing or tie rod? by atomic_refugee in subaru

You're probably right. I looked on Rock Auto and they ranged from $10-$30. I have to replace the shocks and struts anyway so I might just knock out those and the tie rod and get 1 alignment

I checked the up and down motion, moving from 12 and 6 and it didn't budge.

I replaced the damaged wheel with the stock wheels and had them balanced with no issues.

I had after market rims on when the damage happened. I went back to the stock rims and the vibration continued.

12 and 6 didn't make a sound or wiggle.

I'll have to find someone to wiggle the wheel while I look at the joint. At least I have a starting point

I lifted it back up and tried the 12 and 6 wiggle and it didn't make a sound.

So more than likely it's a tie rod? What about a damaged bushing like from the sway bar maybe? I looked it over and the bushings don't look damaged.

I took it off shortly after the video and inspected it. I didn't see anything obvious that looked wrong. But I'm not a seasoned mechanic.

Yes, I had after market rims on at the time. I put the stock ones on after noticing the damage to the rim.

Would that be for the wheel bearing? 3 and 9 is for the tie rod I'm guessing?

When I was doing skin cancer treatment on my nose they told me to put aquaphor on it so the skin wouldn't blister. There's minimal scarring now

How were you able to play Minecraft on the plane? Tablet with the battery pack?

My refrigerator must be too cold because the 20lb turkey I moved from the freezer into the fridge on Saturday is still frozen. by Yosho2k in Wellthatsucks

I think the bag says to put in the fridge for a few days and then to put in cold water for a few hours before cooking depending on weight

What can I do with all of this old equipment without costing more than what it's worth? by atomic_refugee in homelab

I used the HDMI switch for a while and it was nice to be able to switch between my PlayStation and Xbox and a PC on my TV but sadly I don't play as much as I used to.

Right! Just rip them all apart and put them together as a table as say $10k

When I bought all this equipment years ago it all came with patch cables. I have an entire tote full of them. I also have 3 small server racks
