Front wheel bearings.

 

I hope you have a tune from Mike Kinsman of Tuningalliance.com ?

 

 

If you feel the steering wheel shimmy sometimes when driving on the highway and the pavement changes, but the shimmy goes away at the same speed on different pavement, that's a front wheel bearing. Both mine did the same thing weeks before the bearing began to sing.

already did passenger front about 10k ago, drivers front still good, but I own its replacement already, been waiting for it to go lol. Front got a Subaru unit, rears I did Moog, $78each prime.

 

My tune was completed by Mikey at EFI, I won last years EFI dyno tune from Wicked Big Meet. Prior to that my tune was from Lance Lucas, after CSK had passed away

 

Tuning Alliance is no slouch just havnt had to use him yet. I would love to have him complete a tune and compare it to mikey's

knock on wood, inspected passenger boot last night, looks good. Brembos aint worth it for me, I love my Porterfield pads on DBA 4000 fronts, and centric rears. stainless lines, and grimmspeed master bracket, blue fluid.

Rad was already replaced, fuel pump is upgraded, coilovers all around, perrin pulley already. over 6 years ive been around the block with her, she is cut and pulled with flares, I will not be selling her or trading her, she will be a epic long project of years to come. I have no payment, insurance is less than $100. a month full coverage.

 

Shortblock is most certainly in her future, along with a rebuild for my 5eat,

Do you want to go built 5eat or no? I have 236k on my original 5eat with no problems and we have never gotten a subaru auto trans thats gone bad because of millage or anything else at the shop.

I bought an auto be more involved in my uninvolvedness . 200k+ Club

If you can't blind them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.

My high mileage turd.

Driver's seat base or maybe dome light lense

 

this is interesting. I did a quick search on google for seat base, and will search a bit more later - but do you have a line on something I should specifically check out? I'm guessing just visit a local upholstery shop, wasnt sure if that was what you were getting at. the new seat base is actually a good idea IMO.
