Thanks for the help, bearings were something I hadn't considered although I'm thinking if bearings were the problem the pads would have a wear difference from top to bottom as well? One other thing I did notice is that the outside of the discs were quite glazed which may have an effect on this situa...

Uneven pad wear in an Outback?

I'm just wondering if this is common in the Outback. I replaced the front pads in the Outback last night which surprised me because they had only done about 40,000kms, although the cook is hard on brakes.

The 6s came with a transmission cooler standard , and a filter mounted up the front . There might be another filter on the si...

Auto trans service on 3.0 litre

This is probably a dumb newbie question, but I'm trying to find information on servicing the auto in a 2001 3.0 litre Outback. The manual I have only refers to changing the oil and filter. Is there anything else involved? Adjustments etc? Special tools? The manual also states that it is necessary to...
