How to replace a 1999 subaru forester non-turbo

Theoretically, 100,000km but after 80,000 is a good idea to pull them and check the state.

I would suspect a bent valve or two when the belt snapped. Verify the belt installation is correct and the timing marks line up. Do a compression test. If a valve is bent, the head has to come off and the valve(s) replaced.

Rear struts ?
So you are saying the coil springs are weak ?

hi yes it is a good idea to replace the oils sooner as it doesnt take much for them to get dirty in subarus, so the sooner you replace the oils the longer the diffs,trans and motors are going to last we usually recomment to customers to do the oils as following, turbo engines around 10,000km, trans and diff oils around 50,000km

For 1999 Subaru Truck Forester AWD 2.5L MFI 4cyl the Oxygen Sensor is located under hood, center, rear engine area, mounted on catalytic converter.

Generally, Bank 1 is front and Bank 2 is rear.

Hope helps.

I also have a -99 Forester S turbo with the same problem. Runs like clockwork between failiures but all of a sudden engine turns but will not start. The workshop recomended fuelfilter replacement but I thaught it could have something to do with the immobilizer. what have you tried and ruled out?

spark plug make= ngk
plug type =BKR6E-11
GAP=1.1mm A TURBO MODEL WILL BE 0.7-0.8 MM GAP

i'm assuming you don't have a hubshark,this is a tool that will alllow you to remove the bearing while the knuckle is attached to the car,you may be able to rent this tool at a auto prts store .if not you need to remove the entie knuckle,first remove the trailing arm bolt,then the lateral link bolt{long and stubborn bolt},disassemble the brake shoes and parking brake cable,abs sensor if equipped the knuckle to strut bolt{no marking necessary they are not eccentric} then you need a to use or borrow a press to remove hub and bearings good luck
