juddering problem solved

Well do to the inflated costs of parts in Hawaii I elected to have the rear rotors turned and viola that fixed the problem. Mind you they looked and felt fine just as the fronts did before turning. I asked the technician if they were significantly out of round and he said they were not bad at all. I...

brakes "juddering" problem in 94 wagon fwd

I just removed my front rotors and had them resurfaced at Napa and installed new OEM pads. My brakes are still "juddering" although not as bad.

Could this be coming from the rear brakes or is there something I overlooked.? It only happens upon braking...

Removing rear windshield wiper arm on 94 Legacy Wagon

I am trying to remove the rear windshield wiper arm in its entirety for repainting. The fronts had a cap and 12mm nuts but I can't figure out how to remove the rear wiper arm.

Not the piece the holds the blade - the whole metal arm.

Can anyone help me here??

Thanks,

wind noise from leaky front door seals - adjustment possible

Has anyone successfully fixed air leaks from the seals around the front doors? My drivers door seal really whistles once I am going over 40mph.

I wonder if there is any window adjustment possible

Has anyone replaced the seals? Probably too expensive.

thanks

Thanks! How should I negotiate with the service manager?

I wanted to thank Jason, Steve, and VRg3 for responding so quickly as tomorrow morning the car goes in to have the harness replaced. I have spoken with 3 mechanics and everyone agrees that they are totally liable for the entire repair and that the car should never have left the shop with a homemade ...

Dealer caused electrical horror story?? Advice requested!

A few weeks ago I posted asking if anyone knew of a common relay or fuse that controled the power seat belt retractors, windows and door locks. Under the hood in the fuse box is a green colored 30A that is used for at least these functions. Mine blew due to a short in the system. I took the car to a...

Electrical Gremlins- Help 93 Legacy AWD

Suddenly my power seat belt retractors, power windows, and power door locks have failed. (60K) It seems each has its own relay so it seems highly unlikely that I would have 3 relays fail at the same time. Anyone know of a common ground that I might check? Fuses look good under the hood and also unde...

WRX wheels 205/55/16 fit a 93 legacy sedan

Greetings, Can someone with firsthand experience please tell me if I can fit WRX wheels and tires on my 93 legacy sedan. The 205/55/16 would replace the stock 185/70/14 and are 8/10 or an inch taller. Tire Rack suggests using 205/50/16 tires. I live in Hawaii and never encounter slush or snow. I int...
