Outback fog light grill ? by morin2

I have an 09 Outback and worry that the large fog lights are in such harm's way with stones, etc. Is there an after-market fog light grill that might stop some stones from breaking the lamp? There seems to be enough room for something that might snap into place around the lens.

This might be a good alternative to grilles:

2006 Legacy Wagon steering sound by sg447

I have a 2006 legacy wagon SE with less than 24,000 miles. About a year ago, there was a creaking noise from the steering when turning in low speeds (in a parking lot for example). The dealer found a leaking power steering pump and it was repaired under warranty. It was all right for a while after that but the now the same noise comes back from time to time. I took it back but the mechanic did not seem to hear it. Any idea what the problem could be? I have noticed that it is louder in rainy, humid conditions.
Thanks.

Thanks samiam,
 
They show their 40 mil product for exactly this application - looks worth a try!

My 2005 Legacy Outback Sedan had a noise that I described in the same way from around 19,000 to 21,100. It turned out to be the front wheel bearing, first one, then the other - that's why the range. So far the noise hasn't recurred for the 1000 miles since the second one was replaced. They tried adjusting them first and then replaced them when that didn't work, all under warranty. Good luck.

Thanks very much. I did some online research, and indeed that seems to be the consensus. I bought the extended warranty so it should be covered - but convincing the dealer/ mechanic will be another thing as the noise is intermittent.

Considering an '09 Legacy Limited by easypar

My neighbor's wife is no longer able to drive and he's offered me his '09 Legacy. Leather, sunroof, etc. It seems like a pretty typical unit for a Limited. Less than 10,000 miles and I can have it for $20K.
 
We were one of the unfortunate owners of a '98 with the head gasket problem, before subaru admitted it we had moved on though. I've read most of the posts on here the last couple of days and there don't seem to be any grave issues with this model and it's a lot less than I can get a comparably equipped 2010 model for (about $26+) and local dealers aren't really discounting much.
 
I'm going to call the dealer tomorrow with a couple of questions but thought I would post them here as well.
 
It doesn't have the "homelink" garage door opener and we really do like that on our other cars. I've still got the old transmitters but I was wondering if the "homelink" on Subies is on the sun visor like my Maxima or built into the overhead like our Lexus?
 
He's got a "gold plus" extended maintenance program, I can't figure why they did this, they almost never put 8,000 miles a year on a car and they usually trade every 3-4 years. Is this transferrable and if so is it free to do so or is there a charge? I have a feeling it's a charge thing since dealers make a lot of coin on extended warranties.
 
Thanks in advance

Subaru "Homelink" is located on the rearview mirror, if so equipped. Those mirrors (auto-dimming w/ compass & homelink) can be added fairly easily at any time. There is a connector under the headliner.
 
The warranty is transferable, but I am not sure if there is a fee involved. I don't think so, as the warranty follows the car, but I do think the person who purchased the warranty has the option to cash out the prorated value of it if the car is sold while the warranty is in effect; as such, perhaps there is a transfer fee? The Subaru website should offer information on warranty transfer.

If your neighbor never used the warranty they can actually get a refund.
 
I do think there is a small fee to transfer the warranty. We sold a 2002 Legacy with a 7/100 warranty and I paid it when I sold it, but it was negligable, $25 IIRC.
 
The buyer was delighted and said that was one of the main reasons he bought the car.

Yes, and the fee is actually $35, I just checked.
