The recommended order to bleed the brakes on a Subaru Impreza may vary depending on the source. However, based on the information from the search results, the general consensus is to start with the caliper furthest from the master cylinder and then work your way towards the closest caliper. Here is a suggested order based on the search results:
1. Rear passenger side
2. Rear driver side
3. Front passenger side
4. Front driver side
It is important to note that bleeding the brakes properly may also involve additional steps, such as cycling the solenoids in the ABS unit, which can only be done with a Subaru select monitor. Additionally, some sources mention the need to bleed the ABS module using a specific tool. It is recommended to consult the vehicle’s service manual or seek professional assistance for the most accurate and detailed instructions.
Please keep in mind that the information provided is based on the search results and may not be exhaustive or up to date.

Do you bleed brakes with reservoir cap on or off?
Locate your brake master cylinder reservoir’s brake fluid level, usually located under-the-hood. Ensure that your car has the appropriate amount of fluid. While you’re bleeding the brakes, you’ll want to be sure that you leave the master cylinder cap unscrewed but rest it on top of the reservoir.
Which brakes brake first?
Most vehicles will apply the rear brakes slightly ahead of the front with light to moderate braking. And apply front first on sudden or hard braking.
What is the order of the brake system?
On most rear-wheel drive vehicles, the recommended sequence is RR, LR, RF, LF. On front-wheel drive cars with diagonally split brake systems, the sequence is RR, LF, LR, RF.
Why does brake bleeding order matter?
The sequence matters. If you have a lot of air right after your master cylinder for whatever reason, that air can travel to any point in the system. At some point, the hydraulic line attached to the master cylinder will branch to each of the four wheels.
What is the correct brake bleeding sequence?
The order on most cars begins with the passenger rear brake first, then the driver rear, then the passenger front and finishing with the driver front. Check the brake fluid level after bleeding each brake. Ensure it stays above the indicator line.
How do you bleed brakes with ABS by yourself?
In general, whenever you are bleeding an ABS-equipped vehicle you can do so exactly as you would any other vehicle – stroke the pedal to pressurize the system, open a bleeder, close the same bleeder, and repeat. This does not change whether you are pressure-bleeding, vacuum-bleeding, or manual-bleeding.
Do I need to bleed all 4 brake lines?
If its a front caliper, you need to bleed only the front two. If its the rear you only need to bleed both rears. If the car has left front right rear & right front left rear braking, then you would need to bleed the pair hooked to each other.
Does brake bleed order matter?
During brake bleeding, the master-cylinder cap should be left unscrewed but still in place atop the reservoir. Each brake must be bled in the correct sequence. Generally, you bleed the brake most distant from the master cylinder first, but some cars require a different order.
In what order should you bleed the brake lines?
In the case of our nitro we’ll go right rear wheel left rear wheel right front wheel and left front wheel you’ll notice we’re starting with the Nitro raise with the wheels off.
Do you bleed the caliper or master cylinder first?
If you have a twin disc system, bleed one caliper at a time, tackling the one furthest from the master cylinder first.
