    I just got a 98 Legacy GT last month, on june 1st. I Crashed it into a curb July 1st and havent even taken the wheel off..the control arm on the drivers side was just fixed awhile ago and im pretty sure thats all i need to do again, then get it aligned. I was first going to post about getting some routine maintenence done but now looks like i am going to a dealership to get this taken care of at least. I assume i should not drive from minneapolis to brooklyn park morries..while the car is in this condition..
    any words of advice?
    might the shock have broken?.. that sounds possible..

    the car is dropped, it has mirror tint, exhaust, intake.. DOHC 2.5 RS engine..

    Partially. Maybe its because i am way over on my credit card, I need to fix my car (alignment and suspension) and I literally have NO MONEY in the bank. and i owe my friends money. That might be why.
    The car is black, MN plates.
    There is no aftermarket car place in south minneapolis that can do this work.

    what replace control arms, alignments, shocks....

    ok then maybe you better come to my store... the only thing we cant do is straighten your frame.. ha ha ha

    unless you have major structural damage then any aftermarket store can replace parts.. not hard.. just got to find a shop with a tech who knows what he is doing..

    It should take a competant mechanic no more than an hour to replace a front control arm on a subie.




    PS, I hope the head gaskets have been done on your car. Phase I 2.5's are notorious for bad head gaskets. Replace them with the updated gaskets and the motor is set.
