  1. Engine & Drivetrain
    My wife's 2008 OBW with 150k miles on it was making a loud noise up front while driving. Since I work from home now, didnt get to hear it until it was quite pronounced. So drove it for a while and came to the consensus that I had a wheel bearing issue in what sounded like the drivers front...

    Hello everyone! I own a 1999 Legacy OB with 248k miles on it. It has driven strong and well for the 6 months that I’ve owned it so far and I’ve been keeping up with regular maintance. I just had someone replace my worn out OEM struts and springs with 2008 Forester struts and springs. The car...

  6. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hi guys, I’m at my wit’s end here. Trying to replace the seal that was leaking in my front passenger axle at the diff. I’ve gotten to the point of pulling the axle from the diff, and I cannot get it to budge past the point shown in the attached photos. It was easy to get it out that much, now...
  7. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Before I dig in and start replacing stuff, can anyone help guide me on these leaks? 2007 OB 2.5L NA. I’m not sure if the CV (passenger side) is coming from the shaft seal or from the inner most boot clamp. The boot appear in tact (and clean), yet the diff fluid it perfectly full (and clean)...

    My car has been making a clicking noise when I turn my car slow or fast. The clicking seems to happen a lot more when I have just started my car for the first time in the day. But when I've been driving it for 20-30 min, the clicking seems to have faded away. Then it all happens again when I...

    Hey everyone! I’ve had my 07 outback limited for a few years now and like the title says it has a brand new engine. Now that’s kind of a long story but we put a brand new crate motor in it back in June at 188,180 miles. The car now has 196,134, so almost 8000 miles in 7 months (I drive a lot). 3...

    My cv axle is seized into my hub assembly at this point I’ve given up trying to remove it and am just trying to find a new steering knuckle as I’m rebuilding my entire suspension anyways.

    Can’t say I wasn’t expecting this, but just wanted to see if anyone had alleviated the issue with another part swap. I get a decent clunk "pop" noise while accelerating while turning and straight away on my front left wheel area. It only happens in the morning while the car is cold. Its been...

    I noticed some clunking while turning at a slow speed, so I took the car in today. Diagnosed as a bad driver's side axle. 24k miles and a bad axle already?! I don't off road, not hard on my car, no suspension lift, etc. Has anybody else had issues with the axle/CV at such an early stage...

    I posted a thread about this not to long ago and got an answer pointing to the front end suspension. This could still be the case but after a quick inspection of all the bushings and looking for play, I couldn't find any issues. Below I'll link a video with me driving and demonstrating the...
