I work on a LOT of subarus in my town and almost all of them needed a new knock sensor, hesitation off the line, misfire codes, flashing CEL at higher speeds, all due to bad KS. that and heat shields needing to be cut off are the 2 most common things i do. and getting the KS on is always a faff, they never want to thread back in correctly. nothing needs to be moved out of the way for the KS job, just a really long extension and you'll have it.
