1994legacyrs

Checked both drums and nothing out of the ordinary or leaks around the cylinder. A lot of dust and crap so I cleaned them both out. The front brake didn't show any premature wearing or seizing either, put it back on and bolted everything up and it seems to turn a bit easier for some reason but still has quite a bit of resitance. I am stumped ???

Drums on the rear, The weird thing is that the front right brake works fine - its even slightly better than than the left one. I thought if it had seized it might effect its braking ability?

Well my 1.6l 1993 impreza failed on a few things for the WOF but I need help on the brake related issues. I haven't really had much to do with brakes other than bleeding them etc so I really don't have much idea on how to adjust them and what-not. I might just have to take it into a mechanic and bite the bullet but I thought it was worth posting here first. The first issue is that the rear brakes are quite imbalanced - the left coming up as 112 kN and the right as 167 kN. Under heavy braking I often feel a shudder which might be because of this. Is there any tricks or checklist to go through when dealing with this sort of thing? The second issue is that the front right brake has "seized". I don't think it has actually seized but it doesn't freely turn (spin the wheel and it will just stop). Could possibly be a wheel bearing but I am sure the WOF inspector would have picked up on that. Any help would be much appreciated, Cheers

Its all in your mind ;D

Yeah, check the CEL codes. Does the fuel pump start up when you turn the ignition key? My fuel pump went recently and I could hear a distinctive "whine" coming from it before it crapped out - you didn't hear anything like that?

Hey thanks for the help guys Tried that Subaru dealer site which seems promising but I keep getting "HTTP verb 405 error". Might try again later. Cheers

Well one of my belts is starting to make a squeal and one of my rocker cover gaskets is leaking a bit so I thought its time I replaced them. Unfortunately the only parts store for miles is repco and apparently their rocker cover gaskets are rubbish. So does anyone know anyone on this site that can order in genuine Subaru parts at a reasonable price? Cheers

Fitted pump and it runs like a dream ;D And I just got a great offer on it as well - I will be sad to see it go :'( But I'm getting a non-turbo '95 legacy sedan as part payment as well so its not all bad

I have never understood why people do single conversions on a WORKING engine?? Why not sell the leggy and use the cash plus 3k to get a wrx? No single conversion required ;D Other than that, oil all round, cambelt, zero sports sequential controller and then bank the rest for the rebuild.

Looks about right to me

Well as i have checked over the engine multiple times, found out that there is no additional pump to pressurize the fuel before its injected (very surprising). So I am thinking maybe there could be air in the fuel pump causing low pressure? Is this possible? Either way another CS member has sold me a secondhand pump that works - so I will fit that when it arrives and see what happens. I am finally getting the whole Subaru experience ;D

Yeah, compression seems fine. Any more ideas?

Nope
