Illinois SVX Mechanic
Hi I live in Illiniois and was wondering if anyone had a good mechanic to refer me to other than the dealer. I'm in chicago but have 100 miles of free towing.

What's wrong with your car?
Sorry, I don't have any recommendations. I do all my own stunts whenever possible. I have had to take a couple of my cars to the local dealer, but I have had mixed results so far.

Its a clank sound
When I'm driving it, I really stopped driving it because it had a bad vibration underneath and it makes a big clank sound when its going in reverse especially. Like the trans mounts are broken or something.

great info
Hey guys,
I will be doing some work on my SVX this month. The list consists of new performance rotors, and pads, and hopefully a new exhaust system if its not to expensive. Is the shop in arlington heights realiable for a brake swap, and exhaust repair? I just need some re-welding done on the pipes.

After reading this I just realized all us Chicagoland SVXers never meet? plus there is very few of us much less poor local subaru support.
I dont want to hijack this thread but its a good place to suggest we meet up (so we know where and who is in town). I have seen a silver, black pearl and a green one so far. (i Am brilliant red). and mostly in schaumburgland. jus a thought. BTW ask seraph, he is also in the area and migh have waht you need.

Through Subaru, you'll have to buy a whole new drive shaft....about $400 plus labor... There is a company that sells u-joints to replace the ones in our drive shaft http://www.staugustinefwd.com/RWD/Staked/staked.html Which is the cheapest way to go....unless your's has a bad CV joint (Some SVX's have a CV joint at the carrier bearing, some don't), if that's the case, I guess a new or used drive shaft would be the only choices
