No but I also didn't get an ABS light. I do have a haynes, and I think another manual from the intarwebs. Will do!

I've been waiting for this rainstorm to let up so I could take a look. Checked the ABS, wasn't the culprit. Had a thought pop into my head about the AWD system, and how weird it behaves when an axle pops out. Left rear was about 1/4" out of the diff. Popped it back in and it's back to normal.
Looks like it's popping back out as soon as I pull it out of gear. Must not be seating for some reason. |

That's the one. U have to undo that anyway if your going to re seat the axle. That think can be a PITA to get out sometimes. When removing it, put a jack under the rear hub where the trailing arm bolts up to the hub and jack it up to take some of the pressure off of it. Makes it easier. Then, after you inspect the clip put the outer axle back in the hub and use the hub to seat it in the diff by pushing inwards.

Gotcha. Those things are notorious for seizing. I have two impact wrenches, and pb blaster, though.
Now I need to find some wagon springs and replace control arms. Thanks for the advice! |

Got the axles locked in. Also managed to smooth out the easement at the end of the driveway (2-3 layers of asphalt on the street created a huge lip) with 4 bags of concrete. I'm so used to driving with the lift on the forester, now with the drop I was afraid I'd start scraping the front end every time I go in/out of the driveway.

BenQ has an SG/XT (black wheels, lowered) that you might see around. In fact I saw him coming off the 'overpass' behind yavapai college this morning. |

Hmmm, yeah I don't think it was him. Also, I need an alignment done to my Subie, any recommendations? |

I've had mine done at network automotive at the corner of sheldon and grove. They did a pretty good job on mine (also told me I had 2 bent control arms!).
I'll be installing prodrive springs next week, and at some point, ordering koni inserts. Hopefully, I'll have new tires on my extra set of rims, by then. |

If you still have issues, I thought I had a bent rim, hub or rotor for a while. I replaced all those. It would pulse under braking like a warped rotor, ended up being a bent front a-arm(LCA). I was able to measure one arm was pushed back 1/4" further than the other side.
Few places align 17" and up rims, network and Jims alignment. I prefer Jim's because they were willing to adjust my rear camber without camber bolts. Network wanted an extra 75$ to install camber bolts in the rear. Jim's had no problem or arguments setting my suspension exactly to my specs. Also had the Porsche aligned there. |

Oh, forgot you mentioned Jim's previously.
Since school is starting in a few weeks, and I'm approaching the scheduled timing belt maintenance, I am most likely going to be doing that soon. I'm also strongly considering doing the head gaskets, since there's a leak somewhere, and from what I am reading my forester is prone to HG failure. I found a thread about doing the HG without pulling the engine, but I'm wondering if it may be easier to do both timing belt and HG (and engine mounts most likely) with the engine out. |

Koni inserts are struts made by Koni that you insert into the stock strut housing (requires some cutting). Koni (other companies as well) made them so owners could install their struts without waiting for them to design the entire strut housing (with perch, mounts, etc). Plus, they're supposed to be a bit less money.

Priced parts for the timing belt kit at Tim's and they are way higher than if I order them from another dealer (online discounts via subaruforester forum). The lowest they could go was still somewhere around $100 higher with taxes. I'm torn between going with ALL OEM stuff or getting a gates kit, and piecing out the rest with OEM parts. Some people complain about the water pump quality.
With prodrive springs coming monday, I'll be ordering koni inserts in the next few weeks, as well as front and rear sway bars and endlinks. |

On a side note.. or side post. Someone in a 98-00 forester with a SUBARU logo on the windshield was flashing their lights at me in front of Walmart/Lamb intersection yesterday. Currently running without my front bumper cover. inner fender liner needed some cleaning up.
