#9514 of 11722 Chains by oregonaj Jan 01, 2004 (1:27 pm)
I'm sure this must have been discussed before but I haven't been able to find it. Assuming you have chains that will fit an '03 Outback, does it make any differrence which axle you put the chains on? (Or do you need to put them on both axles?)   Thanks, Jim

Which axle to install chains (or new tires) is a discussion item with very strong opinions on both sides.   Here's MY opinion: if you're only putting them on one axle make it the rear. If the front has more traction than the rear, there's a greater chance of the rear end coming around and spinning the car. Yes, many people argue that it should be on the front because the front controls where you are going...but if the tail swings around, you're not going where you intended anyway.   I'm sure someone will chime in with a convincing argument for putting them on the front axle.   If the situation warrants chains, I'd do both axles or postpone the trip. (It reduces the potential need to change underwear! What was Bill Cosby's line?..."First you say it, then you do it.")   Jim

Get low clearance chains and put them on both axles, I think Z-chains makes a model that fits Subies.   -juice

I say park the car, head to Hawai'i, and come back in April.   Cheers and Happy New Year from the snowy PNW!   Ken in Seattle

Jim, Thanks for the input, if I have to put them on I'let you know what I do and how they work,   Ken, Love the Hawaii idea but I'm stuck trying to get to our home in southern Oregon in the next few days.   Thanks, Jim
#9520 of 11722 Plus Size by pathtomax Jan 05, 2004 (8:59 am)
Hello,   I have about 40k miles on my original Wilderness tires and will probably look to change them out around March. I generally drive about 25k miles/ yr. The choice for me is probably the Michelin MXV4's as I have had them on front-drive cars and had amazing results in snow...can't wait to have them on my Outback!   Any comments about plus sizing them? I live on the seacoast of NH so I have to deal with snow, sleet, freezing rain etc for about 5 months of the year.
#9521 of 11722 Exhaust manifold problems/recall by emt Jan 05, 2004 (9:23 am)
Looking to buy a used 2002-03 Legacy sedan. I heard somewhere that there were problems with the exhaust manifolds on the 02's. Can anyone give me any insight? Also, do the rear seats fold in these cars? I have a 93 Legacy that has treated me well, that is why I am looking to buy another.
