This procedure must be used in place of tonneau cover assembly replacement for stopper failure. Hi Justin, 2004 Subaru wrx wagon 2. It is especially noticeable during K-turns and other parking maneuvers. I bought a 2003 Outback recently. Thanks for posting this, I think you saved me a good chunk of money here! The extra washer keeps the shroud from touching the alternator and causing it to bind and not allow movement as is required during hard turns.
We tried and then the metal thing that stops against the alternator thats screws on the back of the long bolt moved some when we loosened it, so we retighten to avoid causing any more issues until I was able to claify. But I can find nowhere on the net telling me how to bleed this air out. The cluch was also replaced as well as the Aircon compressor. When I first started it I could still hear the noise a little so I left it running and went around to the front. Put a dab of silicone to seal temporarily.

Justin Hi Justin, My 2003 forester squeals during a cold start for 15-30 seconds…turning can be difficult…more squealing when turned all the way in either direction.

Is it the torx head screw? I understand your situation is frustrating, I know a lot about Subaru, but I am not there with you, I am not seeing what you are seeing, or hearing what you are hearing so I am at a disadvantage and need as much vehicle information as possible to help you A lot of your question makes just no sense to me at all, if the fluid level is overflowing how can it be fixed? Justin, I own a 2001 Subaru Outback H6. I had a similar problem on my 01 legacy wagon 2.
