That would be me, I'm at a loss, that's why I'm here. haha. It sounds like it would be the endlinks or the balljoints but I replaced both pair in the last 4-500 miles and there was no difference. My last hail mary was the control arms. I am very adamant about torque specs on most things. Everything was done to Subaru spec.

2001 LGT,Auto, 228k miles. I have a clank noise coming from the front left when going over potholes, cracks, manhole covers not quite level with the road...etc, anything where the road just drops away. New parts, all within the last 5-10000 miles. Everything. Lower control arms, ball joints, steering rack, wheel bearings, sway bar links and bushes, struts are gr2's with H&R springs, strut mounts, everything! Everything is also OE or OE equiv, no poly anywhere. Control arms were done last; a couple days ago. The clank is mostly muted now, but still frequently enough is as loud as before. The only thing I can think of now is something in the strut assembly, but it all looks okay.

subaru says it's an H11. You could always do a visual check of the bulb and see what it says. That's the easiest way when you've got a bunch of people telling you different stuff. Due diligence will save you time and money. A quick search after my post says H11 and H16 ALMOST interchange. H11 wont fit perfect in an H16 housing, but an H16 will fit an H11 housing. https://headlightreviews.com/h11-vs-h16-headlight-bulbs/

If you don't have any AVCS related codes, don't touch 'em.

The dealership I worked at didn't use OE glass unless it was under warranty. I had one put in my RS at the time and it was a good windshield. One thing you could do to avoid getting rock chips to to increase your following distance. And when you do get a chip get it filled as soon as you can. I see a lot of people pull in to drive ways really fast/hard. Don't do that, it causes the chassis to twist and puts stress on the glass.

I think the connection at the pump could leak from the weight of the hose, when left unsupported for an extended period of time. They handled the chafing concern with the bits of soft rubber

I tried finding the hose stay that's broken, but it is part of the $54 airbox assembly. A ziptie would be sufficient.

ideally you would replace it, but likely not to cause a problem

That's the clip/spring that holds the fork to the pivot ball. it's recommended to replace the spring and ball when you replace the clutch... some times the fork is pretty well worn too and also needs replaced.

Talk to someone else at your dealer, or go to a different dealer entirely. That alignment needs to be addressed.

You don't move the throw out bearing when you depress the clutch pedal. you're depressing the metal fingers on the clutch pressure plate to pull it away from the clutch disc. I deal with OE and aftermarket parts all day. the OE stuff is always better quality. You do pay for that quality, but it will for sure last longer than the aftermarket item. Edit: I mispoke, I was thinking the pilot bushing for some heckin reason. Long day in a hot shop

2009.... if you change any part of your intake or exhaust system, you need a tune, even right down to an airbox/cone filter.

If it's an '11, shouldn't you have blue coolant? It does sound like you have some sort of cooling system inefficiency going on. You can easily test the fans by turning the AC on. They should both run. I do gotta say, I was under a 2000 outback with 130k on it the other day and was absolutely shocked, the head gaskets were perfect with no evidence of work done. They were also in 500-1000 miles early on their 3k interval, so.... either you pay for oil, or you pay for head gaskets.

Nevermind, I was finally able to find it. After clicking the "following" drop down in a thread, click the blue link and you can turn it all off.

That is what they're for!

how do i turn this off globally? I don't see any settings related and don't want an email for replies to every thread i've posted in. it's obnoxious.

possibly the timing belt tensioner

what is flood clearing? is that where you hold the accelerator to the floor and crank it? Are you using quality oil and filter? how many miles has it been since you changed them?

Sounds like a missing ground to me.

lol sorry buddy:spin:

Is it the same kind of hot as though it were at 80 or whatever the highest setting is? that's likely an issue is the flapper door stepper motor if that's the case. You should definitely use the A/C in winter as it keeps the windows from fogging up. You may have noticed the ecm has logic to turn the A/C on automatically when on a windshield setting.

Smart!

well. the only time you're going to have the heater core completely bypassed is at the lowest temperature. anything higher than the lowest, it starts to open up to the heater core. I think we need more info though, does your car have auto climate and it's determining that at 66 degrees it turns the a/c off? also, yeah, if this work was done recent, take it back. they need to fix it, for free.

I don't think there's much of a hose for that vent. usually the dash vents set inside of the hvac plumbing in the dash. Is the vent open? the slider that opens and closes it could be broken.
