#11716 of 11722 Flood Damage to a Suburu Outback Legacy! by awrench Apr 19, 2009 (7:59 pm)
I have a 1996 Outback Legacy 2.5 Liter that was succumbed to high level flooding in the Houston, TX. area. I drove home from work during a very long unrelenting rainfall. I started noticing a wining drone sound coming from the car only when driving at 15-25 mph. It made a loud squeal when I went into reverse. The next morning the squealing sound happened driving forward and reverse. The whine doesn't sound like belts. It sounds more metallic. I checked the transmission fluid and the transaxle fluid and both show no evidence of water/cloudy appearance. I would like to know if there is anybody who may know where to start focusing on repairs. There is no squealing at idle or reving up to 2500 rpms. The sound seems to originate from the wheel or axle? Could it be the antilock brakes malfunctioning? Thank you in advance for any suggestions. Replies to this message: xwesx (Apr 20, 2009 5:01 am) ateixeira (Apr 21, 2009 11:27 am)

Replying to: awrench (Apr 19, 2009 7:59 pm) I would start with flushing all of the car's fluids and see where that leaves you. It definitely sounds like the issue lies in the transaxle, but no way of knowing for sure what you have to work with unless the water is eliminated first. Perhaps there is an additive you can put in the transmission fluid to drive out any remaining water after you flush it?

Replying to: awrench (Apr 19, 2009 7:59 pm) Could be a bad wheel bearing. Have those inspected.
#11719 of 11722 2002 Subaru Outback Axle Seals Replacement by senturi1 May 20, 2009 (1:14 pm)
I recenlty was told by our Subaru service advisor that I needed to replace the front axle seals on our 2002 2.5 Legacy Outback. This issue started when I noticed a smell coming from under the car while the engine was running. Also, this odor was noticed while driving with the blower and AC on. The 2002 Outback has very low mileage; about 24500 and I'm the original owner. The Outback is serviced regularly; i.e. oil changes and PM. My question is how this can happen, and how major is this repair job? Replies to this message: ateixeira (May 21, 2009 11:20 am)

Replying to: senturi1 (May 20, 2009 1:14 pm) The axles on our 626 leaked but I think it was caused by damage from a rock or debris. The rubber was torn, basically.
#11721 of 11722 Fuel Filter on 2004 Outback Wagon w/ 2.5? by guzda53 Jun 29, 2009 (2:25 pm)
I can't find the fuel filter. Manual says on front strut tower on driver's side by windshield washer reservoir tank. I bought a new one but can't find location? Car was purchased in July 2004. Was filter eliminated?
