Send a PM to Qmulus. He repairs them. He is in the US, though if that matters to you.

Could be your strut bearing(s) Even if it's just one, you should replace both. Maybe it's time to replaces the struts at the same time.

It can break internally and either cause a bulge, resulting on low pressure on that side, or cause an internal obstruction which keeps pressure on the caliper even after you've released the brake. ...

Also check for a bad hose. Once you find your "sticking" caliper, take the wheel off, pump the brakes a few times to build up pressure, then release them. The suspect caliper should remain stuck...

ALLDATA said use assembly Lube on Subaru head bolts? I don't think so. Perhaps you read it wrong. Oil, yes. Assembly Lube? I highly doubt it. If so, then I'd suggest you call them and tell them to...

Before you smelled smoke, did you feel any pulling on one side or the other when braking? It's possible you actually have a problem with the passenger side not braking at all and putting all the load...

I'd be interested in seeing where they recommend using assembly Lube. Oil maybe, but I've never seen them recommend assembly lube.

And Subaru doesn't use Loctite on their head bolts. Oil would...

Though it is more than coincidental that the only 2 I used assembly lube on were the only two I did (of about 20 or 25) that failed. And of all the ones I did, I've never seen loose head bolts when...

Definitely not the pressure plate and flywheel bolts. If it's like most other cars, you'll want loctite or some other thread locker for those bolts. Assembly lube would have the opposite effect.

Probably should split the halves and lose a lot of weight. And, least important, have someone etch a Porsche logo on the glass.

I was wondering if you were going back to the place you originally got the tool or get the Grainger allthread I told you about. It looks like Grainger's may be a harder metal. At least it's steel. ...

Do it. It won't harm anything except maybe mar the surface a little, but it won't affect the tensioner or chain's function in any way. It seems to me like that hole has only one purpose, anyway, and...
