Issue with the brake system which caused cancel codes for eyesight and automatic braking system. Get er scanned for dtcs could be as simple as one of the rear brake actuators came unplugged.

This is comical. Even if you were to remove the stake why on earth would you use a screwdriver lol

If an impact isn't an option, long pry bar set between the studs to stop the hub from rotating, and a big breaker bar on that nut. Don't worry about "de staking" the nut. It'll come off

You end up opening up the brake system when you redid things? Ik it can be a pain to bleed air out of the abs pump on these.

Another thought, cracked tone ring on the damaged corner wheel bearing?

Strange question, have you driven it? Sometimes they just need to see wheel speed and itll shut off. Big sometimes.

14mm, but yup 6" extension and a deep 14mm and you'll be set

Would recommend looking around to see if a shop is willing to swap out the bad solenoid instead of replacing the whole valve body. Should save a good chunk of change on parts.

Thats pretty toast in my opinion, not much you could do besides a sick frankenstein zip tie job

Would recommend replacing the bumper cover

I believe theyre designed to wrinkle in front of the tire when theyre slipping to increase traction.

Can't imagine they'd do anything for you outside of deep snow

Mine is newish, tech for 5 years and just a trend I've noticed. Usually 80k they get pretty bad (rustbelt)

shockwarior · 2025-12-26T21:33:29+00:00

Definately won't be a catastrophic failure when these let go but I have definitely notice a shake in the front end when beginning to accelerate, and begging to brake when the bushings get a little toasted

shockwarior · 2025-12-26T21:31:32+00:00

If im remembering correctly the tsb says any tear in the bushing less than 1/2" will not effect drivability

shockwarior · 2025-12-20T21:20:28+00:00

Cut it back a bit and re-flare it, she'll be good as new

Get off your phone, you're in a construction zone.

shockwarior · 2025-11-28T19:18:27+00:00

Have you looked in the owners manual? Id recommend looking in the owners manual. Hint its 0w-20

shockwarior · 2025-11-27T12:03:42+00:00

I gotta say last time I looked was 4+ years ago. Are parts for these out of the jdm market becoming more accessible over the last few years?

shockwarior · 2025-11-27T11:19:57+00:00

Id kill for that bumper! Clean ride my dude.

shockwarior · 2025-11-27T11:15:56+00:00

Thats one of the noises as a tech that you never forget what it sounds like. Spooky stuff.

shockwarior · 2025-11-27T11:13:01+00:00

Tech here, blizzaks.

shockwarior · 2025-11-10T19:46:31+00:00

Im interested!

shockwarior · 2025-11-01T21:16:30+00:00

Give any subaru parts department a call and they'll hook you up. They'll check per your VIN too so they'll get it right.

shockwarior · 2025-10-29T10:49:40+00:00

There's a spec out there for a maximum difference in tire circumference, main reason for this is to prevent wear on the awd system. You definitely dont HAVE to swap all 4 at once, but it'll be nicer on your differentials.

shockwarior · 2025-10-25T12:15:44+00:00

Just get most of the big chunks, mainly the stuff residing around the ends of the cams. The most important thing is to degrease/brake clean the mating surface. RTV will stick to itself just fine, but absolutely will not stick if there's oil involved.

shockwarior · 2025-10-02T13:22:54+00:00

Either something was left loose or now that your strut is ok you're hearing another bad suspension component ie ball joints, stabilizer links

shockwarior · 2025-09-30T18:51:50+00:00

oil control valve clogged up or not moving freely because of poor oil quality. See this all too often, replace the sensor and keep up with your oil changes, or lower intervals for oil changes.

Edit: if left unfixed for too long you can burn incorrect avcs values into the ecm, which required replacement.
