It’s hard to find a YT mechanic that I can gain more than one new tip or reminder from in a short video. Keep it up! I’m no longer going in blind tomorrow. Thanks! 👍
Perfect timing to put up this video. Need to do mine and wont forget - arrows forward 👍. Clearing out those bolts with that aerospace looking gadget works well. Don't forget a brewski once the job is done and day is over! Great job. Subscribe and Drive safe. 🙂
Thanks for the video. We had some frontend noise starting around 42k miles on a 2018 Outback, couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Started during the cold weather, endlinks, tie rods, ball joints, control arm bushings all seemed fine. Changed the stabilizer bar bushings and the noise is gone. 🎉
I just replaced the bushings and sway bar links on the front end of my 2004 STI. Not an easy fix but got it done without breaking any bolts. Plenty of spray and some heat did the trick.
Thanks for this! Only sway bar brushing soobie replacement video I could find. You mentioned you did one for the rear, too? I need to do rear brushing my 2008 H6 outback.
Hey my friend unfortunately I don't have any H6 that I maintain but it is pretty much the same as any outback. If you can do the front through my video you'll easily be able to identify the mirror and take care of business.
I have a question for you based on this issue. I have replaced both shock and strut assemblies, both control arms and bushings, outer tie rods, sway bar links, and sway bar bushings. Frigging noise still there!! I cannot think of anything else to replace. The only thing I haven't replaced is the inner tie rod because I couldn't get back there to put the boot band on it from the ground. I'm clueless dude! While I was getting new sway bar bushings someone at Subaru said it could be something to do with the rack and pinion? This noise only happens when going over uneven ground. Please help.
It all depends on what component, most exhaust systems when employing bolts usually use a minimum of a M10 size bolt or 3/8 if you're in the states. Provided you're getting a bolt that is that big in thickness then stainless is a good option. Anything smaller stainless tends to be a bit brittle and will crack or sheer off so you want to have at least an M8 or M10 size bolt.
Just curious for 2010-14’ Outback 3.6r Offroad upgrade. It has a final gear ratio of 3.083. Can we swap it with the more Stronger 3.58 ratio of the Tribeca 3.6r? Thanks 🙏
That is a good question I don't know the answer to. I would assume it's probably the same differential however if the ratios are different you would not be able to swap it without adjusting for the different ratio by swapping up the center and front diff.

Excellent instructions as always - thanks

@@JimmysAutoClinic thanks appreciate it!
Do you have any videos of rear sway bar brushings, from any outbacks or foresters, etc.?

Great post thank you!
Thank you for watching.
None of the parts stores have exact fit for new bushings. Where did you find the replacement bushings?
Great job
Is there a typical bolt size for installing a muffler?
Also, would you use stainless bolts? Thanks.

@@JimmysAutoClinic Thanks for the reply as always. Yes, I’m in the states - NY with rust.

The thumbnails for your shorts are way better than that for your full length videos.
Thanks for your opinion. Maybe when I get some time in the next year I'll change them up.
Not even a prude here, but the cursing adds zero value to an otherwise solid tutorial.
