  1. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Today I was pushing on a particularly stuck PVC valve that was installed prior to my ownership. I felt things break free but then realized that it was not my PCV rotating, it was the entire adapter/bushing that the PVC threads into that was turning. Without much trouble I was able to pull this...
  2. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hello, Our 2015 Forester started running rough at idle, but fine on the road, without kicking codes. We’ve been idling it a lot to help our toddler nap so I thought running some injector cleaner thru the fuel might fix things. To be prudent we changed the air filter and cleaned the mass air...
  3. Suspension & Brakes
    Installed a 19mm rear sway bar a while back. I have a Ready Lift 2'' lift kit and would like to install it now that my tires need replacement. Debating on doing a self-install or taking it to a shop. I'd like to only replace the 225/60R18 tires on my 18'' stock rims. Will that work with the...
  4. Engine & Drivetrain
    Good morning. I am a new member here. Sorry if I am posting in the wrong place or the wrong forum. My daughter has a 2011 Forester with the FB engine. It is using 1 quart of oil every 350 miles--basically every fill-up. There are 158,000 miles on the car. She is the third owner. The engine...
  5. Tires & Wheels
    I am in need of some new tires on my 21 outback and I found a guy selling some 2021 Forester Sport wheels while practically brand new tires for cheaper than new tires cost + I really like the wheels. I believe the lug pattern and bore size are the same, but they have different offsets 55mm on...

    Hey, all. Name is Dave Matthews. I used to own a 2005 WRB STi and I’ve been missing my Subaru a lot lately. It’s about time to get a new car, so I’m thinking of getting a Forester or an Outback because I have a kid now, and I want to keep him safe. Maybe have a little fun modding whichever along...
  7. Suspension & Brakes
    Curious as to which year Forester struts would be compatible with a 2001 Outback base. I’m assuming 2000-2004 would work but would 2005 work with some extra work? Thanks
  8. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    2012 Forester exhibits CV Joint popping on tight turns. My Mechanic replaced both front CV axles and both front wheel bearings. Now we get the exact same issue, but only after driving the vehicle for some time. It will not make the popping noise when the car is “cold”. Anyone have any idea what...
  9. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hey there. I recently purchased a 2012 Subaru Forester from a dealer 3 weeks ago with 96000 miles on it. All was well until yesterday I sped up to pass someone on the highway and the check engine light, cruise control light and off road light all came on at the same time. Plugged in my OBD2...
  10. Engine & Drivetrain
    My 2005 Outback manual is in need of a new motor and I have done some shopping around and found a guy that will sell a 2004 forester auto motor. Will the motor bolt straight in or are there any differences between the two and if so is there any modification that can be done to make fit. I have...

    Hello all, My cousin asked me today if I could add a new headunit with apple carplay to his car and maybe also add remote start (automatic transmission). I found a remote start kit online but it seems to be sold out indefinitely. I figured I'd come here and ask for recommendations. Can I put...

    Hey everyone, I'm having a horrible time trying to get my wife's new (used) Outback on the road, were down to 1 vehicle, and need this fixed ASAP. I screwed up the trans, ROYALLY (input shaft busted into a billion pieces), and am not able to find a good one from a 99. I bought an auto from an 03...

I’ve found some videos online but the instructions vary and I don’t want to pick the wrong one. going to a mechanic is not an option rn and I can’t...

    Hey I am new around here and I was thinking of lifting my 07' outback for more clearance yada yada, but to get to the point, what year of Forester struts will fit on the 07'. If anybody knows definitely let me know, I know I'll have to get subframe spacers so that much I'm aware of. Thanks for...

    2001 Subaru Forester S Three owners by one Family prior to my acquiring it 192k miles, but don't let that be the reason you miss out EJ252 4 cylinder recently rebuilt, not just head gaskets. All of it. Subaru parts, complete timing set with tensioner and gears, OEM thermostat, organic coolant...

    Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, but am looking for some direction. I have a 2004 Forester XS that I lifted 2" with the ADF spacer kit. I swapped my CV axles sometime after the lift, and now have a klunk sound from both CV's at the tranny. It doesn't change when turning, and is consistent with...

    Hey all, first post here so sorry if this belongs somewhere else. I've been looking around for information about this, but can't find a solid answer to this. So, the 5MT in my wagon has given up the ghost, but my friend has a 5MT from a 98 Forester. I know mine is phase II while his is phase I...
