Thank you for your replies.
At this point I have checked tire pressure and I know I need to replace at least one bearing. At this point what would be a good check list for things to inspect in addition to ball joints, tie rods etc.. Since it is a front wheel drive I am inquisitive about both ends.
Where I am coming from is I am by no means a mechanic and am learning as I go. I am grateful for all the advice I can get my hands on and will undertake this with caution with a touch of nervousness. Therefore thanks again for feedback.
Mr. Eric The Car Guy if you happen to read this can I make a request for a video on this topic or at least for a referral if there’s already a n existing video?
I love the being candid and “what can we learn from this” approach.
I ask this question as a guy that has to do repairs and be prepared to leave it on stands until I can get it done, don’t attempt it until I have that time because I need it Monday, if I attempt it I have to succeed because there again I need it Monday. (I need a backup car).
Question:
In your experience if you could have let that penetrating oil soak a few days, could that have helped move that side that was seized where maybe the air chipper was a bit on the rough side? (My thought was to try a air chipper too.)I love the being candid and “what can we learn from this” approach.

(My thought was to try a air chipper too.)That is a good question. At work I use 1/2″ both air and cordless for quite heavier than automotive stuff. But for at home I am wondering for automotive if a 3/8 or even 1/4 will be just fine? If you know please let me know. I am sure there are niches for them all.

Where I work is as a masculine of a place as any. I am in love with electric cordless impact wrenches. The not having to fight with the airhose constantly is awesome! multi use. Building construction, chasing threads, tearing apart/reassembling heavy equipment…..priceless. This one I use is a Snap-On 1/2″ so it has torque. May not be quite the torque as air but do you like fighting air hoses when all you want to do is just get the job done?
For at home I don’t have an air compressor so I don’t know if I should save my pennies (nickels, the now discontinued the penny in Canada) and get a cordless (i’m spoiled I don’t like the idea of dragging an extention cord through the snow) or just a corded electric because I don’t yet do tons of repair work at home. Probably the cordless.
All in all air impacts I guess have advantages. So do electric.

Does the Subaru have some variation of a lock up type differential rear and an open differential at the front? If this is the case would it make it a 3 wheel drive? While modifying to get better fuel economy could it be possible to have it where the front wheels would pull together on demand thus increasing traction?
