Replaced my Rear Wheel bearings, Sounds much nicer. Drivers side was pretty bad.

So $53 Each on Rockauto get's you these Badboys. ULTRA-POWER CMS80181 & CMS80182

Good things come to ones that wait, At least Car part wise.. I Picked this Whole 08 LGT Limited 5EAT Steering Column With Paddles for $115. Yes that's $115 Shipped to my door. Let that sink in

So the Pick n Pull Yard near me just had picked up a 2010 Impreza 2.5i Premium so I went a took a Look and It had a Mint Wheel with SWC (like my 08LGT Wheel) But in almost brand new shape but the airbag was blown... So I went and picked that up and made sure it bolted up to my 05-07 Steering column. After that I Combined my 2008 LGT Rear Wheel cover with Buttons to my 2010 2.5i Wheel. Only Part I'm missing is the 08-09 Legacy or 08-14? Impreza airbag Cover.

Got my Bushings and STI Steering Knuckle/U-Joint installed today. Wasn't too bad of a job, Would recommend lifting the car on stands instead of ramps Like I did. You need the rack to move a little bit. Ended up having my Mom just move the Steering wheel ever so slightly to get the bolt holes to line up after that it was smooth sailing. I haven't taken it on a good drive but just down the street and in the driveway I can already feel the steering is nice and more Responsive/More feedback. I love it.

 

My Front Sway bar Bushings don't look too good and my End-links feel looser than they should be, I'll be doing the Tribeca FSB Soon. Moog or Fancy Solid Frontend links?

Small Update!

I have Aquirred 05-09 Legacy GT Front Calipers, Brackets, and Very low miles Front Pads for Cheap. Also picked up Rear EBC Yellow Pads for my 2.5i Brakes for a price I couldn't refuse. Later on I'll upgrade to the Vented 2.5GT Rear Setup but for now, this should be a solid improvement over my stock setup.

 

I need to Order Some Blank Rotors soon and paint for the Front Brakes. I'm considering doing Stoptech SS Lines up front while I'm at it.

 

I'll be installing my Billstein's once my Saggy butt spacers arrive. After that, I plan to get some Sway bars and possibly Endlinks.

Nice build, keep up the good work! Can't see the pics on the first page, but page 2 and 3 work fine.

 

Thanks! Sadly Photobucket ruined everything and I haven't gone thru and switched everything to Imgur. I will very soon
