  1. Luckily I went to AutoZone and got a read. Looks like it happened twice, but the second one is stuck and not clearing out. I got the part number for the switch. What is the part number vvt solenoid?
  2. Ha, pita? That gave me a nose bleed. I had to read 4 times over. Haha
  3. So I have all my keys for my 2011 Legacy 2.5 base. My main key, only half of the alarm module works. The lock button works with no problem, but the unlock, trunk and panic stopped working. I have to press it a few times before it actually unlocks the car. Probably the board has some hairline crack, preventing contact? Replaced the batteries, no dice. The immobilizer works fine. Just want to see how can I replace the alarm chip and program the new alarm portion to register to the car. Will that require the dealer to do that?
  4. 140,600 here so far. After my throttle body swap on the transmission at 102k, it has been much better
  5. So the tube was popped open. The top end of the where the housing screws into the strut itself popped out the thread. Where the whole strut came apart. Leaked all the oil and all
  6. Yup, bent the hell out of my wheel. Have to get that bent back as well.
  7. Will take one, once out the car. The strut cap popped off the body.
  8. Well this is a first.... The whole strut assembly on my passenger side fell apart. The top of the strut popped off. This sucks.
  9. So both spring caps were off. Driver was off 90 degrees clockwaise and the passenger was off 60 degrees counter clockwise. The rub was the cap rubbing the strut tower. Used two sets of spring compressors and readjusted the position. Retorque and we are all good.
  10. That was before I had the bolt tightened. Gteaser, I had sanded down the edges so it could go in smoothly. The nubs on the new shocks just have a good trip going into the donors. Today I am.going to take them both out and retorque and readjust the sitting on the driver side. What I did notice, the shock wasn't sitting in the top shock cap's perch. It was a bit off by a half inch.
  11. One quick thing too.... After the cut, I inserted the new shock into the sleeve, but shock didn't reach the bottom of the sleeve. It had a quarter inch left to move down.
  12. Funny thing is, the nubs are directly across from each other. I will pull the strut tower and give it a look.
