Howdy all! Just purchased a used outback (2019 and 43k miles). It has lived most of its life in Michigan, so it definitely has some rust from the salt. I live in middle Tennessee where roads are salted maybe once a winter so hopefully it won’t get too much worse. I’m wondering if the rust on the...

It’s a pretty big chunk missing so I’m sure there’s more rust underneath this car and on the other side. It could be a great option for me instead of putting tons of money into my 97 OB, which I can keep for parts. I just don’t have the knowledge or tools to really fix rust this bad… how bad is...

I have a 2010 Subaru Outback with some 207k on it, and naturally, living in the midwest, I have rust starting to form. I bought the car used back at 90k, and I am finally getting around to some Fluid Film and arriving to do some maintenance on my own. I noticed some hard white undercoating had...

I discovered spider-vein rust on the roof of my 2002 Impreza back in April. Yes, I know this is an Outback forum, but since this is a non-technical question and has been dealt with before here, I thought it was worth asking. Also, I'm really after NZ-specific info here and many sites don't...

I've got a 2005 Legacy Wagon with few small rust holes around the rear wheels. Besides that the car looks great. I can see small paint touch ups from the previous owner, it looks like it was well kept. However, I live in the Midwest and the salt roads are taking their toll. I've already done...

Good Evening Everyone, Hope everyones Fathers Day is going well. I'm again asking for help with the 2008 Outback Manual Transmission Pzev I have. The seat bolts are rusting and I don't know what to do about it. Also, the gas door lever has broken and the wire is completly rusted and the area...

Hello, I am looking at purchasing a very high mileage 2011 Outback (2.5L 4 Cyl engine CVT) in Canada. No sunroon but only heated seats on the model. It has 360000 Kms (225000 miles) and the owner says it has been mostly highway miles. Asking price is CAD 4600$. These are the maintenance items...

Hi all! A swedish guy with a rusty Subaru needs your advice and thoughts! Car is a 2003 Outback H6 with 160k miles on the clock. Had her for 13 years and she has been good to me. I use her as a complement to my 2008 Impreza, mostly for towing now and then. Runs great and looks great, no rust...

Here are pictures of my wife’s 2010 Outback 2.5i CVT rusted frame. Is this safe to drive still or should I start parting it out? Thanks for your help! driver’s side front:

Hey all, I've recently purchased a 2009 Outback 2.5i PZEV with 270,000 kilometers on the clock. I live on the East Coast of Canada so some rust is inevitable - unfortunately, the rust on this example is on the top side of the fuel tank, meaning that in order for it to be properly road legal...

Hello. I've been looking online and can't find any tutorials for replacing the front subframe for a 2010 Legacy Outback. In fact I can't find any tutorials for this repair for the Legacy at all. I called the dealership to ask about ordering the part and figured I might as well get a labor...

Heyo, trying to figure out what's caused these marks on my 2006 H6 and the best way to repair them. Talked to someone at autozone and they think its mold or rust on the metal underneath the rubberized coating. I looked all throughout the Haynes user manual and couldn't find what this piece is...

My cv axle is seized into my hub assembly at this point I’ve given up trying to remove it and am just trying to find a new steering knuckle as I’m rebuilding my entire suspension anyways. As it so happens tho it is almost impossible to find a steering knuckle for my 1999 legacy outback anywhere...

Anyone else noticed any corrosion/rust spots on the chrome window trim? I noticed a few small spots on one side on my Onyx XT around two months after I got it. I figured perhaps some small rocks might have hit the area while driving on the freeway and caused it but I have noticed more spots...

I have this rust hole in my 2001 Subaru outback and if I didn't care how it looked (cuz you can only see it if you open the door, what would be the best way to fill or fix it? my initial thought was to sand it off, and do the rust hole patch kit wire mesh stuff but forget all the Bondo sealants...
