BG5 Legacy wagon - few issues

[lunacy]

Hey all

Were having a few issues with our 1996 BG5 auto GT wagon, if anyone could shed a bit of light on any of these thatd be great.

1) Horn used to work intermittantly, now wont work at all. Fuse is ok, and pretty sure horn units are too - funny feeling it might be the contacts on the inside of the wheel, but am reluctant to go digging round near the airbag.

2) Have got the clunking rear struts (bilsteins) so am assuming they need replacing or rebuilding? Read somewhere someone relubed the shafts but am guessing this is just a bandaid measure. Anyone know of a place that sells decent replacement struts (that arent $300 a corner). This car is mrs daily so no coilovers either.

3) Fuel economy has got progressively worse over past year or so, used to get around 420km to a tank its now down to about 340. No CEL showing but wonder if oxygen sensor may be stuffed? Runs standard boost, no mods at all.

4) Want to do a tranny oil change but saw somewhere that a filter needs replacing too - can anyone point me in the right direction of what this is and where to get it? Or a link to how to do the change

Sorry bout all the questions but is first Subaru weve owned, and we want to keep it running in mint condition.

Any help/comments appreciated, oh and have already had gd look using search btw!

Cheers

I has a a wheel for sale with airbag

I would of said it was the contact in behind the steering wheel BUT as it is air bagged it is all inside the clock spring usually,so my guess would be relay or horns themselves

I believe that this model only has an internal sieve in it's tranny which usually doesn't have to be changed..

Ok any idea where said horn relay may be? And thats great if i just have to do the tranny oil and not worry bout filters
