Well, its impossible to check the rear brake drum shoe for wear because..........they don't have them. Your car has disk brakes, not shoes. You should not work on your car if you have NO idea what your talking about. GOT IT! Take the car to a shop where even a 16 year old can help you!

A squealing sound when reversing in a Subaru Outback could be caused by several factors, including worn brake pads, which can create noise when they come into contact with the rotors. Additionally, low brake fluid levels or a malfunctioning brake system could contribute to the sound. It's also possible that loose or damaged components in the drivetrain or suspension are causing the squeal. It’s advisable to have a professional mechanic inspect the vehicle to determine the exact cause.
To tune up a Subaru Legacy, start by replacing the engine oil and oil filter to ensure proper lubrication. Check and replace the air filter and fuel filter if necessary to maintain efficient airflow and fuel delivery. Inspect the spark plugs and ignition system, replacing any worn plugs or components to improve engine performance. Lastly, ensure that all fluid levels (coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid) are topped off and check for any leaks or signs of wear.
Put some brake fluid in the master cylinder.
You are going to have to formulate a real question. Yes, Subaru Outbacks have brake calipers.
Yes. You need a converter to combine the turn signals with the brake lights.
Yes, that is possible. I would also inspect for a collapsed/damaged brake hose or a pinched brake line on the passenger side.
i don't know if it helps, but my '99 legacy outback was making a knocking sound. turned out that the oring on the brake caliper pin had worn out, and the pin was kind of knocking around.
Try your brake lights. There is a sensor under the brake pedal that will go off if you don't have any. This should be an easy fix.
