  1. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hi. I have recently bought a second hand 2011 Turbo-diesel Subaru Outback, with around 227K km. I've noticed when cornering around tight bends, the car does a set of rapid jolts, and emits an audible clunking noise from the rear end (not a rattling noise, more like a bump bump bump kinda thing)...

    Morning All, So the 2012 OB belongs to my parents and they're split on what is going on with the car. Manual, 6-speed Transmission has 155K miles, engine was replaced with a used one and has about 120K. In the past few years they've now gone through 2 CV axles for the front passengers side...

    Hello, I'm new here so if I'm missing any pertinent info in this post, don't hesitate to let me know. I just took my 2014 Outback in to have the brake rotors replaced and to change the differential fluid. They said they heard a roar while driving the car (part of brake inspection) and said I...

  5. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hi all - my wife side swiped a car, not too bad but bad enough, in our 2015 Outback and it went to collision shop for about 6 weeks. They replaced the right front strut and repaired both right side wheels plus a bunch of body work. Finally got it back, dummy me, I never drove it on the...

    My 2019 3.6 Outback started blowing blue smoke going up a hill at about 70 kph at the end of February. I nursed it to the nearest garage 1 km away and checked the oil - all good. No indication of any problems on the dash. I only just managed to park it nearby because it didn't want to move. The...

    My 2001 manual transmission Outback with a 2.5 and the base trim is still doing the typical torque bind after replacing the center differential/viscous coupling. I know torque bind is a well covered topic, but it seems like the thread always ends with "I replaced the VC and the torque bind is...

    Was under my 08 outback the other day. noticed the support bracket for the rear diff is getting a little crusty. Was looking around and found spec b/ sti aluminum brackets for similar if not cheaper than steel. Problem is the aluminum ones are made for the R180 and not the R160 like I have...

    Hi everyone! Recently my H6 sedan w/o VDC has been producing a whining noise in front, can especially feel it in the shifter. Took it to the mechanic but was told it's "A OK" to drive. Well, upon driving on the freeway, the whining turned into a grinding noise (similar to plastic grating a...

    This differential came out of a 2011 Outback 2.5 Premium (CVT) with the following VIN: 4S4BRBCC3B3402155 I thought I might need this diff for my car (same car, only MY2012) but I no longer need it. It appears to be in good shape. If I had used it, I would have cleaned it and replaced the oil...

    2012 Outback 2.5 Premium, 120k miles: I recently noticed a faint (metallic?) buzzing noise coming from the driveline. The noise correlates with the speed of the car, engine speed does not affect it. I don't think the noise is coming from the wheel bearings since I replaced the front hubs at 91k...

    Today I was driving 100 km/hr and the front wheels of my 2017 outback completely locked up causing me to skid 75 m. Very close to causing multiple accidents. If I put it in neutral I could not push it off the road, the front tires were completely locked. I had front and rear differential fluid...

    I have a 99’ outback but the tranny is on its way out it’s a 4eat but I was wondering if I could swap a 5eat but keep the original 4.44 final drive ratio, would the original 1999 4eat difs work with a ‘08 5eat and how would I change the front dif.

    I was(am) changing the gear oil in my front differential, and after draining it, I went to add new 75/90. I took off a filler plug on top that I thought was the filler plug. It had an 8mm hex head. I attempted to pump in the 75/90 and after a couple pumps, with the hose of my transfer pump an...

    Hi All - I have a 2019 3.6 with 93,000 miles. I bought it new and I'm the only one who drives it. I drive over 100 miles per day - 98% of which is a gentle highway commute. I tow a 950# boat about 10x a year for roughly 3000 miles/year total. I've been meticulous about fluid services and use a...

    Howdy Gang, So I am about to take possession of a '19 OB w/130k miles but I know the owner and it has been all freeway. Vehicle is well taken care of, but only oil changes, tires, rear brakes and spark plugs (@110k) have been performed. No services to the CVT nor diffs at this time. I am...

    I heard humming noise from front side of my 2014 outback. A mechanic suspects that it is from differential. Anyone had experienced the same problem? What is the cost to replace front differential?

    Hey all! ---1999 Subaru Legacy Outback 2.5--- Just curious about getting a center or rear differential that I can lock and unlock. I know its a good move to improve off-road capabilities however I am concerned about additional damage I might be doing to the vehicle. Should I be worried...

    I have a trans pan that I have to replace the seal on but I'm trying to figure out if it's the trans pan leak spread to the diff area or if the diff is leaking too. If so what is that? A gasket, seal or just a bolt tighten?
