Post by Subaru_Nation555 »

Noticed this the other day and wanted to know if it was worth worrying about. Thanks.

I guess if it was a problem you would have noticed it earlier than just the other day ;)

Where's the dent? I don't see it in that picture.

Are you perhaps talking about that divot on the edge closest to the camera? I'm pretty sure it's like that from the factory.

My sister's '96 has the same dent, so it's factory.

I saw that too but since the pan technically does hold an oil substance I didn't choose to split hairs on that one ;)

Now This is a Dent. 1991 Subaru Legacy wagon 5speed 2.2 :) Nick Name "the brown eyed sniffer"

That "dent" on yours is from the factory. helps improve flow or some nonsense like that. Nothing to worry about.

Please Notice that the battle damage continues onto the exhaust. If you are going to jump your subaru, you gotta go all in.
