T-Belt Time: All About Subaru OHC Timing Belts
Although Subaru vehicles seem to have less trouble with OHC timing belts than other makes, they still represent a lot of potential work. So, here’s a look
at the evolution, policies and procedures involved.
Subaru and the On-Car Brake Lathe
When it comes to pulsation problems and captive rotor situations, there is no comparison.

OBD II Diagnostics on Subaru Vehicles
An owner of a 1996 or later Subaru vehicle may require your expertise because the on-board diagnostic system has detected a fault. This sophisticated system can tell you whatʼs wrong, if you know how to listen.
Subaru Suspension and Wheel Alignment
Periodic inspection of a vehicleʼs suspension systems and wheel alignment assures the best possible combination of ride quality, handling
and tire life.
Subaru Evaporative System Diagnosis
As fuel is pumped into the tank, fuel vapors are displaced. These vapors are trapped by the on board refueling vapor recovery system before they can escape into the atmosphere via the fuel filler neck. Diagnosis and testing of this system requires special procedures.
Subaru Evaporative Emissions System Theory
Subaru vehicles are equipped with either a Conventional or Enhanced Evaporative Emissions Control System. Each system uses a different method to prevent unburned hydrocarbons from escaping to the atmosphere.
Subaru 4EAT Phase 2: Overview
Internal and external changes require viewing the 4EAT Phase 2 as an entirely new automatic transmission. Because it is unlikely that you will be disassembling a Phase 2 transmission in the near future, this article will concentrate on principles of operation and failure diagnosis.
Subaru 4EAT Phase 1 Transmission Diagnosis and Service
The Subaru 4EAT transmission is a four speed,
microprocessor-controlled transmission. Changes
in your diagnostic approach, due to these electronic
transmission controls, are required.
