Some vehicles have OEM specific codes that aren't part of the federally required message set. Not all scanners will read these codes. Sometimes there are software upgrades or modules you can connect to pull these codes out of vehicles.
1) They don't have techs who are too swift
2) More importantly, they don't road test your car after touching it. This shows a lack of attention to detail.
You should have the studs and lugs checked at the dealer or somewhere, if you drove it with the loose nuts, you could have buggered up the threads on the studs.

The lower stud shows you how the grooves should be clean and knife-sharp.

Only with all 4 on the ground. No subie (other than FWD) can be towed with only 2 wheels on the ground.

How is your fuel economy? If the car is running well, I would just keep the reader handy to check codes when the CEL illuminates. That way you know if something different goes wrong rather than just assuming it is the same old story.
Thanks
Again, I do not know for sure. this seems to be a fairly common issue, though, so finding information on it may not prove difficult!

No he asked if he could disconnec the driveshaft so he could dolly tow it. Which he can do, however, he specifically said "with 2 wheels on the ground".

I did that when replacing the rear strut/spring assembly in another vehicle because the springs had failed, but most of the time, I just use the spring compressor and do it the old fashion way.
My guess is also because you really don't need a compressor on the subie springs there is no need to offer em pre-assembled.

When I did the '93 Accord's shocks, I just grabbed GR-2s off ebay and bought new front upper mounts (rears were fine) and went the old school spring compressor method.
The Subie only has 25k on it and I shouldn't need shocks for a while, although this was definitely the last winter for the stock RE92s. The nice thing is they are 205/55R16 so I can get just about any tire category under the sun in that size.
Theoretically, if its over 2000lbs, you still need brakes, right?
Come to think of it, I have not seen a tow dolly with brakes... and the dolly would make the total towed weight greater than just leaving the car on the ground. Imagine that.
Good luck.
Also which engine in the 95 Legacy? 2.5 or 2.2?
-mike
Thanks for the reply!! It is an automatic trans. I'm pretty sure its a 2.2 but, I will have to verify that!
