HAMMER DOWN Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 IIRC is one of the 1st signs of the banjo filler bolt getting plunged. Pull both bolts, inspect. And go from there. One in front DS head & the 2nd, rear PS the feed the turbo. If clean, the AVCS need a good cleaning or replaced.

specialB Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Less than 500 miles away from turning 100k! Holy chow have we come far from 29k in June 09'. 8k miles into a new motor other than that only had to change out one clutch and a wheel bearing.

instantfury Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 New thread sub. 218k. The piece of metal that holds the sway bar bushing broke in half. Should I get some reinforcing metal bars behind there and then weld it back up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 That should be fine, its a somewhat common problem and there are aftermarket solutions.

I Donated thefultonhow Posted January 28, 2013 I Donated Share Posted January 28, 2013 Yeah, assuming you're talking about the rear sway bar bracket, there is a reinforcement solution from AVO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoozeRS05 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Can you damage a trans seal when replacing an axle? I tried cleaning all the grease out from when my boot was torn and it sprayed everywhere, but I'm still getting a burning odor after I've been driving and I'm idling. I also noticed what was a tiny amount of fresh gear oil on the new axle cup when cleaning. My trans fluid level was exactly between the dipstick dots with my car on ramps.

Underdog Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) You absolutely can damage the seal during an axle replacement. Subaru has a special tool (28399SA010) that you insert into the seal to protect it while you guide the axle in. To replace the seal you can try the socket method, or pick up a seal/bearing drive set from Harbor Freight. Subaru also makes their own tool for this (18675AA000), to protect the outer dust-shield portion of the seal. Frankly, the more difficult part is removing the old seal without scoring up the inside of the trans, or getting debris inside. There are special tools for this at auto part stores, but I find it easiest to crush the seal inwards (towards the center axis of axle rotation) by giving the OD edge a few whacks with a hammer and screwdriver or chisel. Usually three dimples, 120 degrees apart, is enough to loosen up the interference fit between the seal OD and trans. Just be careful and buy a few extra seals in case the first one doesn't seat perfectly while you are installing it. They are cheap enough (and I can supply them ).
