    Once again thank you for the great videos. Yesterday morning I tackled the... lower ball joints, sway bar links and inner and outer tie rod ends. Technically 8 jobs at once. As you know everything in that neighborhood is close together so it was just better to do it all at once but I would have had to sell a kidney to pay for all that work at a shop... and I did it all in less than 5 hours with smoke/thinking breaks. I am tempted to call a shop to ask for an estimate for all the parts I changed, and also the front struts and cv joints I did a couple weeks ago.....Thanks silent friend.

    Did this on my 01 h4 like a month ago. I went with a whole new assembly from advance auto. They redesigned the cap for the oring. Its held on with 3 screws now instead if twist lock. Also lifetime warranty. Lol.....works a lot better then the 20psi max I was getting before.

    My 2006 Subaru Outback stalled while traveling down the highway. Once over to the breakdown lane, the car started up again. The mechanic ran a diagnostic on the car and didn't find anything. Everything tested out fine. I saw somewhere that diagnostic readers don't read pressure on fuel pumps and that insufficient pressure could lead to stalling, especially at higher speeds. Do you think I may have a fuel pump in need of replacing or should I looking elsewhere? Thanks!

    Car wouldn't start today and had it towed to my mechanic. They said the fuel pump was shot and it was going to be $1100. Looked up your video with a friend who is handy with cars and determined we could fix it for a fraction. The mechanic said they need to replace the whole system including the relay. What all do you suggest replacing when a failure happens? Thanks for the great video and hopefully saving me a bunch of cash!

Service manual uses confusing language -- ie "Shut-off discharge pressure" = 53.6-98psi [I assume this means deadheading the pump??] and "Discharge Flow" = 43.5psi [I assume this is an idle pressure??] ... any clarification would be much appreciated. Thanks as always for great vids!

    Mr. Subaru I have a 2012 2.5i Subaru Outback with CVT and I want to replace the carrier bearing for the driveshaft because its squeaking from the seized bearing. The problem is, is that I can't find a carrier bearing from Subaru. They want me to replace the whole driveshaft. Is there any good aftermarket carrier bearing? If so could you put a link to the website(s) for it. Thank You

    Way off this topic but today I decided to change the differential fluid on a 30000 mile cross trek with a cvt. I was not prepared! I removed the wrong fill plug so I added gear oil to the cvt. After I recognized my blunder I drained the cvt pan and flushed clean non Subaru cvt fluid ( i hate to mix but it was all that was available) through the plug. Then I filled it and drained it. Then filled it to the fill plug after running it through the gears and getting it to 100 degrees. My question is should I trade this in or do a few drain and fills with Subaru cvt fluid or drop the pan and change the filter? Thanks for all the videos, but unfortunately they encourage me. Ha!
