    Hey all, It's been a while. I picked up a pristine 2009 legacy 5 spd, SE (one owner) with 92,000mi. The car overall is immaculate but there are a few things I REALLY want to fix. The instrument cluster gauge lights are very dim even with the dimmer switch on full. I pulled the dash today...

    Hey guys, I've got an '05 Legacy with a motor that's going bad, and I found an engine from an '06 Legacy that I was considering swapping. But, from what I understand, the '06 engines have ACVS while the '05 engines do not. Is it going to be a headache trying to put the AVCS engine into my...

    My mother owns a 1996 Legacy Brighton (I think this was the pre-Outback base model wagon). For a few years now, her headlights are out of adjustment and all efforts to adjust them have provided only temporary relief. They have been adjusted by dealers, independent Subaru specialists, and DIYers...

    Hi all! I'm looking for a manual 1st gen Outback or 1st/2nd gen Legacy wagon to be my daily for a bit and for a long-distance (3000+ mile) road trip this summer. Would the Outback be a good choice? Most of the trip will be on highways, but I also want to be able to go on Forest roads to...

    I’ve got a 2013 Subaru Outback wagon and need to install new air bag. I want to know if a 2013 Legacy is a compatible air bag to use in the Outback. Also doing air bag harness and seatbelts. Pictures I’m seeing look identical to what I removed.

    Hello! I'm a new member. I recently purchased a 2013 Outback Base 2.5i from the Subaru dealership I happen to work at.

    Aside from struts and the front sway bar in 2000-2004 model years, what are the differences between Legacy and Outback front end suspensions? Checking Subaru Parts Online web portal, it appears that the only difference for 2000-2004 model years is in the strut lengths. Specifically, I am...

    I have a 2013 Subaru Outback 2.5i (fb25) with the cvt. It has a 3” lift kit, 30” all terrain tires, and other off-road mods. I don’t have the power, throttle response, or torque that I want. Most of that is to blame on the cvt. So i am looking at manual swapping it. Also I want my outback to be...
