  1. Forum Rules, New Member Information & Intro.
    My old car was becoming more expensive to repair than it was worth. I owned it for 8 years and accumulated over 300k miles in that time. The 2018 Outback will be my new daily driver, it was at 43K miles when I picked it up a little over a week ago. I don't think it's been modded. My daily...
  2. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hey folks, first post here (though I have been lurking around without an account for sometime). I am looking at replacing my hub assembly/wheel bearings in my 2015 Subaru Outback with an electronic park brake. I read several post on here and watched some youtube videos, and replacing the hub...
  3. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    I have a 2019 Outback that just hit 130k miles (I know it's quite a lot) and I have been experiencing a rattle issue for a while now that seems to be coming from the front end and even the rear at times. Its mostly over small bumps (pulling out/in to driveway, speedbumps, well maintained gravel...

    short video Leading up to it - About a year ago I was driving back from a 3 hour trip and my power steering went out on a turn. I was telling the story to a lady at a yard sale, and she said she had the same issue on her Prius. She changed the battery and the issue went away. So i changed my...

    I have a 2017 Outback Limited. Is this part of the driver's seat leather or vinyl? I'd like to know so that I can properly repair (or at least band-aid for now) this tear. Thanks!

    Hey y’all I’m in the process of planning to replace my factory struts with KYBs (front and rear). I’m at about 175k with factory struts and was informed that the RP strut is “going” and causing the front struts to compensate. I’ve also been wanting to do some more upgrades (i.e, springs, lift...

    Several years ago our 2015 Outback (base model, no Eyesight) was struck by a vehicle on the passenger side front wheel/fender area. It went to a repair shop and came back with no response to the cruise control buttons and the left and right front door open sensor indicator on the dash are...

    I have a 2016 Subaru Outback 2.0D 5GEN Wagon (CVT) that is being weird. None of the door locks work, when using the key button or the electronic switches inside the car. The rear tail gate button also doesn't work and the only way i can open it is by climbing in the back and manually opening...

    Hello all, just had to replace my passenger side mirror and struggled to piece together so I figured I would combine and post here.

    Hi there! My audio (Bluetooth, CD, and radio) started cutting out while driving and then completely stopped working after I turned the car off and restarted it. I am not super familiar with the electrical system, but checked the fuse in the passenger compartment (#4, amp 15) and it was fine. Is...

    Long story short, my 2013 Subi got hit in the left front fender/wheel well area by someone running a red light at high speeds. After 4+ weeks waiting for an estimate, my beauty was totaled, only barely. Anyway, had a friend of the family who was willing to sell me his 2019 Outback for whatever...

  16. Tires & Wheels
    Hello all, just want to preface this by saying I'm running a 2016 Subaru Outback Limited 2.5 and 235/65r17 sized tires. The rest of my vehicle is mostly stock except for my Method 501 wheels. I purchased a set of Yokohama Geolandar G015 tires back in 2019 (in the 235/65r17 size) from Discount...

    Hello everyone. I have a 2017 Outback Premium 2.5l w/ 125k miles on it. Over the last 20k miles a whirring (kind of like an rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) sound has developed in the rear. The noise doesn't change with the engine RPM (eliminating exhaust sounds), and it doesn't change with load, side to...

    Good Morning and Happy Friday! My wife has had some comfort issues with the driver seat. She mentioned that it doesn't have enough knee support and it causes her hip to experience unnecessary tension there. Does anyone have any recommendation of products to assist with this? Thanks in advance!

    So I can't live with my OEM head unit. I recently purchased a 2017 Outback limited and it comes with the Harmon Kardon sound system with Nav. but the screen is showing the wires in the back of the screen and I can stand the fact there's no CarPlay. I just purchased an Android head unit from...
