I'm not too sure what will fix that in his car, I have only seen a couple other lifted 3rd gen outbacks. . . .
My knowledge on those is limited.

@ spshultz: How did you lift your OB? strut top spacers, king springs?

Cool! Thanks skunkman. Yeah, I lifted it with Subtle Solutions 1" strut top spacers.
Hmmm....It would seem that Primitive makes a rear sub-frame spacer to help with centering the rear wheels. I'll have to email them and see exactly how this works.

Just so happens that the setup is for sale too.

Driver error and cheap wheels will do that.

Is your Legacy LOWERED?

Not 100% on this, but I don't believe car washes fix bent wheels.

[Safe Drives]

It looks like a 2.5GT, which is about 1 inch lower than than a stock Legacy wagon.

When I rallycross, after the event I put the car on jackstands, I pull all of the wheels off and make sure they are very clean. Any additional specs of mud will make the wheels vibrate at speed. The other thing I do with the wheels off is clean the struts / shocks really well. I like to make sure that there is no mud up in the towers or on the upper spring perches.

[EvileyeZ88]

Why are you guys even bothering to respond to him? He can't answer he got banned last night.....

And I believe he was hoping for the vibration to be caused by mud stuck to the wheels/driveshaft hence the multiple car washes.

I'm trying to figure out what he got banned for.

It's obviously for bad driving

[EvileyeZ88]

He got banned because he caused damage to his car? He was driving at a rallycross event, he was warned and he did get a little bitter, but banning him?!?!

Apart from the red light camera thing in the unique mods thread the other day, It seems silly to ban someone for that, its like adding insult to injury.

Not like he posted a video of himself tearing up a baseball field or street racing through a school zone

I'm not a mod so what do I know

[RunninKurt]

Yeah, I dont think the redlight thing woulda earned the ban hammer either, since he admitted fault and moved on. Maybe the discussion on his attempts to mod his license plate so the cameras couldnt catch him? Who knows. He can always email the webmaster and get an answer.

I was standing 10 feet away from the car watching this guy self destruct it when he hit the sand hill. He was initially pulled out of the sand and told to go around. He didn't listen. He finished his lap, lost his rear bumper on the straight, collected his self inflicted carnage and left.
Note to anyone doing a rally-x. Don't bring your lowered, street prepped trailer queen and expect to leave unscathed. Take it from this guy, it wasn't pretty and it will cost quite a bit to get this car to the point it was at before he killed it.

I thought it seemed a bit low for rally-x.
