auldboy58 Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 hi guys,when I finally got round to doing link rods,I found there was nowt wrong with them,passengers side still knocking,ball joint I think,anyway,when I took the wheel off the drivers side I noticed a kind of linkage coming from a plug which has broken away from a small anchor plate in behind the brake caliper,can any of you guys tell me the name of the linkage so I can order the part,cheers.
stants Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Can you get a picture ? I have no idea sounds like an abs sensor or something Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk
Gaulson Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 From your description only thing I can think of it the brake line anchor. Like Stants said, a picture would make things clearer.
Mr B Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Only other thing I can think of with a proper linkage that connects to a plate & would only be on drives side would be height sensor for models with HID headlights ... If still knocking then ball joint is possible & quite common, should be able see play in it & actual ball joint not expensive: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Moog-OE-Quality-Replacement-Suspension-Ball-Joint-SU-BJ-104141-/131632896273 1
auldboy58 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 cheers Mr B,the linkage is only on the drivers side,and the only time I've driven the car at night,I thought then the headlights could do with lifting up,I'll have a look at that on eBay. 1
auldboy58 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Posted July 20, 2015 As Mr B says the linkage IS for H.I.D. headlights.does anyone have a clue where to source one of these as theres only 2 on eBay and there in Lithuania @ £130 each+post,so my query is,are these headlights adjustable manually under the bonnet.
Mr B Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 ^ no they not. if linkage/mount just broken/corroded then a linkage & mount can be fabricated. You could try ICP importcarparts.co.uk as they might be able supply one, other option is subaru breakers ! :-/
auldboy58 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Posted July 28, 2015 mornin guys,managed to track down the subaru breakers that I posted about some time ago,only to find he only deals in imprezas,not much good to a forester owner eh.
stants Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Depends on what you want ? Most of the bits are interchangeable only really shocks/ exhaust that are majorly different and won't be a straight swap
