Official dual HVAC Double Din (JDM) Kit thread V2
4BKT VET replied to dwolson2's topic in Interior/Audio
I guess what I meant was using only the RCA, what happens then? Not tied to reverse and need to use AUX? -

If / when you find one, are you willing to sell the 20?

Used Subaru Legacy BILSTEIN Shocks Struts Coil Springs

I would post a pic, but I get a file fail. I did some reading, can't seem to get it. Bummer. -
Used Subaru Legacy BILSTEIN Shocks Struts Coil Springs
4BKT VET replied to 4BKT VET's topic in Suspension/Brakes
Thank you rhino6303. The wording was a bit confusing. I would have made the KYB choice had nobody responded. For now, I'm raising the rear cradle only and doing the 03 rear shocks, 07 front struts with GT Wagon springs all around. -
Used Subaru Legacy BILSTEIN Shocks Struts Coil Springs
4BKT VET replied to 4BKT VET's topic in Suspension/Brakes
Not sure how to read that, get the newest Bilsteins I can find? BTW: My 66 bug motor did something similar. I have the rod someplace around here (twisted 180° AND bent about 90°) along with a couple of holes in the case. -
Anyone have recent experience with JDM Ebay sellers for these parts? Is there a difference between Legacy Bilstein's and "Spec B" Bilsteins? Looking to lower my 08 Outback and weiging the option between new KYB vs used Bilsteins.

'09 with H/K - Changing H/U & Bypass H/K Amp.
4BKT VET replied to 2.5 Stick's topic in Interior/Audio
Anyone had success connecting an amp in parralell with the front or rear speaker outputs from the stock head unit? Just wondering if it sounded ok and IF I should use front or rear doing this. The thought was to add a Rockford mono amp and drive it with the high level inputs to the amp. A duel 12" sub box is going in the back. -
2008-2009 OB Headlamps
4BKT VET replied to 4BKT VET's topic in Third Generation Subaru Outback (2004 – 2009)
Well, replaced with 'D' brand (360). I removed a TYC and a Subaru and the Subaru had some issue with the hi-beam socket being way crooked. No idea how that happened. I will operate on it just out of curiosity. The TYC lens was so bad, had the incorrect connector for the low beam bulb not allowing for a good seal and always leaked. The back of it appeared only a couple of years old. We had a 2003 WRX that had very old Depos and they were fine. Man, what a difference. Time for some good Hi-Beam bulbs and Nok yellows for the fogs; plenty of snow driving here. -
2008-2009 OB Headlamps
4BKT VET replied to 4BKT VET's topic in Third Generation Subaru Outback (2004 – 2009)
Yah, for 5-7, not 08 & 09. -
I have an 08 LL Bean with wore out headlights. A resto on these was considered except they are Depot brand. Any suggestions on replacement assemblies? What manufacturer sells the best without spending for true Subaru lamps? ...and yes, I have spent hours searching the forum.
-
OK, I can't seem to find out where the sensors are. I did a Google search and a forum search but can't locate anything. Anyone have a picture?
-
Sorry, I tried posting a pic, but just doesn't like it. Still, who knows how far apart in age they are, but they are definitely Subaru caps, not aftermarket.
-
Well, unless these little parts block a coolant passage. I believe these systems return coolant to the motor via the top hoses, in which case, these get into the block someplace, just where?

I'm not sure where to post this since the issue is with a 2008 and a 2012; both H6 cars. My son complained of "getting warm" on a 73° day, pulled the radiator cap and found the negative pressure valve parts missing. I did recover the spring just sitting on the coils in the upper tank. So, we ordered 2 caps from Subaru. When they arrived, we replaced the caps in both cars, and yes, I had to recover the spring in my car as well. WTF! 1) Where are the other parts? 2) Are they wreaking havoc some place in the motor and where? 3) How to retrieve said parts? 4) What to replace the caps with that operate properly AND don't fall apart? The search for anything related to Subaru Radiator caps BOTH on the WEB and within several forums is overwhelming, yet no one mentions this particular issue.
-
Yah, searched plenty. Not sure why no answer to HORIZONTAL headlight adjustment on these cars. I replaced my crappy stock headlights with "TYC" aftermarket. The beams are cross eyed left to right. No, the cars not been wrecked, no, the bulb is seated correctly. Anyone have pictures of the adjusters and which way they turn to adjust. Thanks in advance.

Seat Cover Replacement
4BKT VET replied to 4BKT VET's topic in Third Generation Subaru Outback (2004 – 2009)
Thank you, looked them up, might find a complete interior for less. -
I have a 2008 OB. Drivers seat is thrashed. Does anyone know of replacement foam cushion and leather cover, preferably Subaru part numbers? Hate to think I'm re-doing a Chevelle interior, but very capable and willing.
