Sadi posted:I don’t know if I put the attributes on paper, if I could point to on line of numbers and tell you if it’s a hatch, cuv or wagon. As near as I can tell most of these lifted wagons count as cross overs and a lowered macan or something counts as a hot hatch. All cars have such high ride heights and this point it feels meaningless to me to try to differentiate. An Outback is a wagon. It's a length versus height (not counting lift - you go off of the Legacy base) thing, mainly, to my mind.

Cactus Ghost posted:and for that matter, the bolt. i found out about subaru crush washers when the "flange" of my drain plug bolt came off LOL. Been there. I've also resorted to re-annealing a pair of crush washers for a banjo bolt fitting when I couldn't be arsed to source a new pair. Worked fine (they weren't mangled, just used.)

carticket posted:The donor engine for my build has a drain plug that is 100% seized into the pan. I'm going to have to drill it out, but need to try to get oil out first (or tip the engine so that it isn't sitting on the plug while I drill. Just yank and replace the pan instead?

Motronic posted:I wouldn't want to replace the rear springs unless it was a dedicated "I'm always towing with this" vehicle. There are definitely air bags you can get for those that you can, at simplest, inflate with a tire pump when your'e towing something and need the extra capacity in the back. They get fancier from there with auto leveling and built in pumps. If their Outback is anything like my 2003, I would. The factory springs (or, more accurately in my case, the aftermarket replacements) are too soft even with the cargo area unloaded. I can hit the bump stops with myself and two passengers in the car. The OEM ones were soft as well, but I though that might have been from being 20 years old. Apparently not. Also not sure where you put supplemental airbags on an IRS strut suspension.

FogHelmut posted:Its a single unit - strut and airbag. There is no spring. Ah, you meant a complete replacement. I was thinking supplemental like you can do with a live axle car or truck.

Cactus Ghost posted:only dead axles around here, friendo You gotta love how that's the logical opposite.  dead axles are solid beam axles that aren't driven, like, say in a lot of the earlier FWD cars (or the front axle in my non 4x4 Jeep  ), but I bet you knew that.
