Need Help With Parts

[Lookin4SVX]

Hi, I'm new here, I just bought an SVX. I have had it about a week now.
I knew it had an oil leak when I bought it, it wasn't losing much, but I wanted to bring it to my mechanic to get it looked at. Told him to give the whole car a look.
So today I got the news:
The Valve Cover Gaskets need to be replaced, on both sides.
The Front Caliper Bushing are shot, bolts also need to be replaced.
Outer Tie rod Ends need to be replaced.
Lower ball joints are loose and need to be replaced.
Also time for a new PCV valve, and oil dipstick.

He said other than that, the car seemed to be in good shape.

So after he spent half the day trying to source some caliper bushings, he told me that I would have to bring in all the parts, and they would do the labor.

So, what parts will this job require??
This is my list so far:

Valve covers gaskets - $110 (Both sides)

Front caliper bushings – $31 (both sides)

Front Caliper Pins - $32 (both side)

http://subarupartsforyou.com/cp_part...p?partid=12702
http://subarupartsforyou.com/cp_part...p?partid=12853

Tie Rods Ends - $80 (both sides)
http://subarupartsforyou.com/cp_part...p?partid=12969

Lower Ball Joints – $160 (both sides)
http://subarupartsforyou.com/cp_part...p?partid=15747

PCV VALVE - $7

NEW OIL DIPSTICK (#806908080) = $16

WHAT ELSE AM I MISSING???

I saw on the "Valve Cover Gasket" 'how to', that he changed the "oil separator gasket" at the same time. I cannot find these parts or part #'s. Anyone know??

Also, while he is doing this job, is there anything else that you would suggest I have him do at the same time?

Any input on anything would be appreciated.

May want to check your local AutoZone or Advanced Auto for some of these items first. Mainly the suspension parts and PCV valve, you may just need to replace the O-ring on the dipstick too. The caliper pins from a legacy may crossover and be attainable there, wait for someone else to confirm this tho.

How many miles on this SVX , what year and what part of the country do you think it has spent most of its life? If you know.

SilverSpear, Thanks for the link!



I needed gaskets and washers for my spoiler, I couldnt find them on the site.
I got them off that "part lookup" linked site (autocenter) on the subaruparts.com page. Was in the collision repair section.
I decided to buy the pcv valve and the oil dipstick at the same time seeing it didn't raise the shipping price.




I think I got everything and then some. THANKS AGAIN!
