rubber doesnt like heat
those are on teh motor
the motor makes heat
the rubber gets hard
it becomes less of a cushion
and the plastic can break or the injector mechanics can get screwed up from teh vibrations


so over night not really a problem a few miles donw the road maybe

 

Fyi they are more like 4 dollars each. so that is a total of 16 dollars........

 

Green Brackets ftl.

talk about worse case scenario.

 

i completely agree its a long remote shot

but for 16$ i dont want to deal with the green brackets of death

 

oh snaps you put yours back on?

 

Have you called the dealership? Cuz i did, and he told me they were $5.7x each. where are you getting them for 4 dollars? I'd love to get my hands on them for cheaper.

 

Also what exaclty is this Green bracket of death i keep hearing about? Can anyone enlighten me? Should i tell them not to put it back in when they're doing this work?

 

I work at Stevens Creek Subaru parts dept. We give a discounted price for I-club members.

The Green bracket of death (GBOD) is the bracket that protects the injectors incase of impact. The passenger side one is a pain in the @ss, getting to all of the bolts....not fun.
its actually more of an olive drab color IMO
