Wheee!

I'm not smart:

Image

that's not right

Image

not right at all

New stuff:

Steve at the company formerly know as Aerosim helped me out big time with working idlers, a new cover (that didn't fit), and an 02 sensor. Timmons Subaru sucks and their parts have a huge markup.

All better:

Then I put the belt on wrong and had to take things apart again. I was surprised at how easy it is to do with just the fans out.

Bonus picture of one of my new suspension parts:

Nice disintegration on the idler.

Hey, I think I see an ALK, steering rack bushings, rear subframe lock bolts, and maybe even rear subframe outrigger bushings.

Full report on the suspension parts, please! Which ALK did you get?

ALK is all I've installed and I just posted about it. The rest of the stuff probably goes on next weekend. I already have steering rack bushings but I cut the driver's side bushing in half to get it on and I'm replacing my rack. Thought it would be prudent to get new ones.

Wow, I've never seen that happen. Maybe thats why you should replace all the idlers when you do the timing belt?
