Well it seems I am after a new set of nuts, or a replacement socket to fit the current set. The scumbag dealer mechanic that replaced my LCA bushes forgot to give me back the socket (admittedly I forgot to check) and I just recently noticed. I contacted him and he said he posted it on the 28th Dec, ...

Alex, yeh they are Bilstein. Cheapest ive found to replace the whole car is about $800 shipped from the US. I am assuming they are original equipment which means theyve done 110000km. Its hard to know whether what Pedders have said is true regarding the shocks, I made it clear that if they needed re...

Well first thing ill be doing is ringing consumer affairs to discuss the ball joint issue, and also to see if I can claim to have the rear shocks replaced.
They are bilsteins in this model, not sure how they compare to KYB....

Okay well, took it to Pedders for the 28-point check and a number of things were realised 1 - the ****wit useless as **** Dealer Mechanic, who recently replaced the rear LCA bush, forgot to put the balljoint bolt back on on one side. Needless to say, I was very lucky that it didnt come apart at spee...

Had a quick squiz today and noticed they are Bilsteins. From my limited knowledge, they appear to be coilovers, as they look similar to pictures I have seen of actual coilovers. However, my reference of a non-coilover system is something found in a Falcon, where the spring and shock aren't linked......

They definitely replaced the front control arm rear bush. I checked and its brand new, and Red. Old one was black.

Need you help guys! Recently I have noticed that there has been a small clunk from the left rear of my 2006 Liberty when going over bumps, etc. I checked it out this afternoon and noticed I can replicate the same clunk when I push down on the car above the left rear wheel. What could be causing this...

Just did a quick search, replacing the idler pulley and tensioner is supposed to be quite easy...

The car is f'en brilliant. Love it.

Thats good news regarding the timing chain. It still seems odd that it never needs replacing. Other cars I know of with a timing chain, need it replaced at about 100000km...

Looking at getting the 100,000km service done for this new car.
Have been quoted $666. What does that involve. Have looked around and people are saying they were charged $1200 or higher and had the timing belt/chain replaced.
But I heard that this model car doesn't need the chain replaced? Why not?

Where in Perth is good to get a tune? Whats it usually cost?
And what exhaust bits does everyone do? I like it being quiet, but if its killing performance....

Gday, Just wondering what could be the likely problem here. The remote isnt working for the boot. I press the button nothing happens. The boot does hope by pulling the lever at the drivers seat, just not the remote. However, the remote does unlock the doors... So what is likely the issue here, remot...

I am assuming it means that it spreads the ratios out so 1st subsequently has a better launching ratio...
Where can I source a user manual for this car online? They downloadable?

I am definitely new to Subarus'.
What induction things to people get done? Just a change of filter or?

Yeh gearbox was very smooth and it was great to drive.

So I should pick her up this Monday.
So what should I start looking at regarding cheap mods, etc?

The dealer rang the subaru dealer, the dealer said this model had a belt not a chain....
In any case, if after I buy it and the belt/chain hasnt been done. I can then make a claim and the dealer fixes it.

Ended up getting the following:
2006 Subaru Liberty MY06 3.0R-B Grey 6 Speed Manual Sedan
107000km, full leathers. Had belt done apparantly. Great nick.
$18500 all up!

Well I want something a little quicker than 100kw haha. The 3.0R Spec B looks the goods really.

Just that it has a lot of kms. Makes me worry haha and still a higher price.

I have actually found a 3.0R 6spd Manual.
