What i did on my previous AWD was just to patch the punctured tyre. Simple and cheap !

Some puncture are beyond repair.

I kena once... Rear right tyre hit the sharp road curb and went to Stamford tyre, the guy told me that for AWD, at least must change both rear tyres in this case, cannot just change one. They will then put the new tyres to the front and the older pair to the rear. However, I dunno is this good for AWD. I drove abt 2 years after that without problem thou...

Same for AWD laH just replace both sides 2 tyres enuf. And yes correct to put newer tyres front cos even though AWD still front see more load

Hi Folks,

 

Signed on a FXT last month pending collection end April or May.

 

Would like to ask does Subaru have OEM side step or scuff plate available for add on?

 

Also, when you guys sign on the dotted line for the face lifted FXT is the model SJG?

 

Thanks in advance for any kind advice

The folding servos are much more likely to die due to other reasons than actuating 90 degrees 10 times a day (stationary car) over long term. Normal vibration/shock from daily driving and the occasional bumps and hits are by far the main wear and tear contributor to the life of the servos.

 

Unless u frequently park in tight spaces, may not be a bad thing not to have it. The frequent folding of the mirrors may cause premature wear and tear of the motor and mirror parts

My current car has this function but it's always turned off

Hmmm,.... actually,..  if you see those safety vids,.. its recommended that the new tyres go at the rear.

 

Reason being is that,... if anything happens, you are able to control the front,.. and if the rear is on older tyres,.. it may "swing"..

 

Maybe AWD is different.... not sure.

To add to this question, where to get the boot scuff plate and rear bumper body kit ? I saw a black FXT at bugis junction basement carpark last Saturday and the add on parts looked really nice. Forgot to take pics...

I think should be new pair of tyres at the front which is heavier and hence more brake bias at the front and more grip needed

 

For this reason, front tyres tend to wear out faster for most cars

Just to check, if FXT electric tailgate failed to operate, anyway to bypass the motor and open the tailgate manually?

I recall having asked the same question at Subaru and the SE told me it could be manually done. But not sure now, things may have improved.

there is a reason why our brakes have more pots at front than rear..... I've tried changing only 1 tyre when remaining is already done 10k+, no issue. different brand somemore... and my car doesn't even have traction control/stability control...

I agree with this and has been practising this for last 5 years.

I would like to ask the Forester NA owners here. How does the car feel in day to day use. Is it adequate? I drive a 1.6 toyota. Now thinking of getting the Forester.

My previous Tucson 2.0l was "adequate". Changing to Forester NA is more than adequate for me.. :-)
