Everything Wrong With My Forester (It's Still Not Done)

My 2004 Subaru Forester has been telling me something for a while. Bent rear lateral links, leaking coilovers, a soft brake pedal, check engine codes, a broken roof light, and an EVAP leak that means dropping the fuel tank. This isn't a fix list — it's a running tab.Here's everything wrong, where things actually stand, and what's coming next. What's Wrong: Bent rear lateral links Leaking coilovers Soft brake pedal O2 sensor code → new exhaust incoming EVAP code → tank drop (separate video) Broken roof light Rattling (everywhere) What's Coming: New control arms Trailing arm spacers More lift Full exhaust Brake system rebuild The Forester: Built over a few years the 2004 Subaru Forester XS was built to test the limits of what is capable in an early 2000's Subaru with bolt-ons. Created for overlanding adventures it takes on the hardest offroad trails while having everything for camping. The Forester features: custom interior, rooftop tent, ARB rack with custom mounts, high clearance bumper, winch, Hella lights, transmission cooler, sway bar delete, offroad coilovers, AT tires, Beadlock wheels, overland kitchen and engine and trans skid plates. And to many people's surprise often keeping up with full-size 4x4s. Looking for parts?
