O/T Legacy120K mile service to do list.
My 95 Legacy will soon need the 120K mile service and I have been compiling a list of items to replace, and I could use some help in reviewing this list to make sure that it is complete and not an overkill. I would guess that this list would also apply to the SVX.
1. Timing belt 2. All other belts 3. Tension Pulley-the engine bay is getting a little squeaky especially during cold weather. Are there other pulleys I should replace? Idler pulleys? 3. Spark Plugs and wires 4. Water hoses-since I will be taking out the radiator, it seems to make sense to replace these now instead of when they break on the road. 5. Water pump and thermostat, and coolant. 6. Crank and cam seals 7. oil and filter, air filter and fuel filter 8. differential fluid. 9. Probably all four struts. Should I replace the springs too? 10. Auto tranny filter and fluid. I did the brakes recently, replaced all rotors and flushed the lines with clean brake fluid. Did I miss anything? I am planning to keep this car till its death (10 more years and 120K miles?) since I have two boys soon to reach driving age. Any input and advice will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Matt

As for the tension/idler pulley, they are best checked after the belts are off. The squeaking is most likely the worn or loose belts.

What to do Legacy
You can hope on the PA Turnpike and come do mine afterwords. Personally unless your racing the car the springs should be good for 2-300k so I wouldn't bother, besides they're pricey. I would think that since you're doing all this stuff I'd personally get a leak down test done and do a compression check just to make sure everything else is in good shape. As for doing mine. I'll hook ya up with some Ski Roundtop tickets afterwards. They should be open by Dec 1st!
